Summary: Just Buy this One!!!
Comment: I am a very frugal person and do a ton of research before making a purchase. I looked at many, many reviews for all different models. But everywhere I looked Garmin was on top of the list (including Consumer reports, which rated the Nuvi 770 as #1, and the 670 as #2 out of all GPS devices). I definitely wanted the European maps included in whichever model we purchased. But based on so much negative feedback left for the 770 model locking up and such, we decided to go with the 670 because it seemed that all the bugs were worked out of this model and the new one still had some tweaking to do.
I was a little disappointed in the lack of a physical manual (just came with a CD of information). I am a printed manual type guy. But outside of that we were up and playing with the options almost immediately. Really you only need the manual to update the maps. The interface is so easy to use, you don't need instructions. Updating the map took FOREVER! But I guess it would be the same regardless of the model.
The day after we got the device we tested by driving to Canada. It worked great. Now it wasn't 100% fool proof. But it was 98% right on the money. With the GPS unit and plus a little common sense, I trust this device to take us anywhere.
In Conclusion: If you are looking for a GPS for use in North America and Europe (we haven't tested the European maps yet but can't wait to), then buy this model. It works great.

Summary: many usefull features
Comment: The nuvi 670 has a lot of features that work really well.It even has an mp3 player. The only negative is the free map update which is available through the Garmin webpage. Installing the update is very complicated and takes at least 7 hours.

Summary: Does what it says on the box
Comment: Bought the 670 rather than the lower model because of the pre-loaded European maps (not yet used) for only $30 more, rather than paying $150 to have them loaded at a later date. The screen is clear and easy to read. You have to multi-task and not just listen to it, 'turn right and then left' doesn't mean first left, can mean second left. 'Recalculating' can become an irritating word when you don't follow the instructions properly. Also, 'Saint' instead of 'Street' can be annoying when only the St is shown on-screen.
Used on a long trip from Chicago to Washington DC and back and around DC for a month. Great when you get lost and good to find local attractions and search for local restaurants/gas stations etc. when you're on the road.
Have not yet tried all the features, the MPS is great, fitted 100 songs on internal memory no problem (can add extra external memory).
I would recommend this product.

Summary: Awesome value
Comment: Got the 670 for a trip to europe, given it had pre-installed maps of europe and North America. Didn't bother to update the european maps (saved the free update for North America) before we went on a two week trip with travels thru southern England and Normandy/Brittany/Paris in France.
Device was INVALUABLE, and a GREAT VALUE. For only about $70 more than a plain-vanilla nuvi 250, you get widescreen, more features, a case, and an AC charger - useful if you plan to use it as a pedestrian in cities.
I was particularly impressed when it took us from Bayeux to Mont St-Michelle to Le Mans in a route that included a series of country roads I would have never found or been able to navigate on a map. Only rarely was there a road that wasn't on the GPS, and only once a one-way street that hadn't been correctly identified. The only navagational downside is that the audio prompts couldn't quite keep up with the speed of decisionmaking in roundabouts - watch the screen to keep yourself from making an extra loop.
It was also a great aid while walking in Paris, locating ourselves and finding a pedestrian route to a location or the nearest metro station.
ps. Also used on the Eurostar train, where I recorded a max speed of 183 MPH!

Summary: An Outstanding Unit
Comment: I have been using a Magellan GPS Roadmate unit for many years. The Garmin 670 is a truly outstanding unit, easy to use, fast acquistion of satellites, with a great display and many optional settings. I was the Program Director of the GPS System at General Dynamics from 1980-1982 during its developmental phase. I continue to be amazed at its growth in capability and the way units like this Garmin 670 serves the civilian community.
