I just finished putting in an order for this little gem for a crack head price

Just before check out a screen pops up notifying you that the items in your cart are 100% brand new. With the 2 yr extended warranty it was $32x.xx shipped 7-10 business days. There digital cameras are very very well priced as well.

That's an amazingly reasonable price for the 660. The SD cards on the other hand seem a bit pricey compared to local shops.
As a reminder, don't put your 660 anywhere near your dog.

LOL I don't think she'll go for it but she has chewed up a lot of crap I thought she wouldn't/couldn't before.

Just got my Nuvi 660. Awesome tool to have.

I'm going to put in an order for a hard-wire kit; at max brightness, you chew through a battery pretty quick.

I've had my eye on a GPS for several months. I gave my wife a short list of Nuvi 6 and 7 series products. She picked up a Nuvi 750 + MSN Direct/FM plug for under $399. It's an awesome set up and works great. I like the screen & integrated antenna over the 6series, although both 6 & 7 series are very nice and full of features.

It's weird, but the flip up antenna on my 360 was actually a selling feature for me. That, and the internal battery.

We just got back from a week in AZ. My wife thinks I'm so smart

I had the entire week of destinations mapped out in a city completely unfamiliar to me. It's so cool to just punch up a pre-saved destination and move from place to place in an area you don't know, without missing a beat. Pretty damn nice!

The GPS is a great co-pilot and helps to relieve some of that boredom factor when making long highway journeys.

I had to reformat my TT ONE 3rd edition this weekend and it was surprisingly easy to do. Theres are some neat things you can do with the Nuvi and the TomTom ONE LE SD cards..

Got my Nuvi 660 in a couple of days ago. Man this unit is great and I love the larger screen. I'm very happy with my purchase and techondigital.com came through with that amazing deal. Heck they call before they ship to make sure it's you. They also try and up sale the whole store while they are at it lol. But they did cut me a deal with a 4 yr extended warranty.

4 year warranty sounds nice.... but I'm beginning to think that GPS systems are developing as quickly as computers. So in 4 years I don't think I'll be worrying about whether or not my GPS holds up, since it'll probably be obsolete by next year.

The GO 930 is hot right now with its IQ routes, but in a year it could very well be expected by every would-be GPS owner.
