Nice GPS Nov 26, 2008
I used the 680 for a month now. Very happy with it. Just a few minor issues. It seems to take a bit longer than my Dad's Nuvi 350 to get a GPS signal. The 350 will pick up a signal in my basement, not the 680. Still not that big of a deal. The 680 will lose the GPS signal when driving through the Fort Pitt tunnels (Pittsburgh, PA). The 350 does not. Bluetooth connects fine. If you live in a big city MSN works fine. I live 30 miles west of Pittsburgh, and cannot pick up the signal. The map shows I should. This feature would be nice if it covered more area, but it's useless on the PA Turnpike, or other major highways. I will not pay for this service when my free subscription runs out. Overall, is simple to use, and trustworthy.
 GPS Nov 25, 2008
THIS YEAR I'VE PURCHASED 2 OF THESE NUVI'S. EVERYONE IS JUST SO EXCITED THE WAY THEY WORK. ALWAYS SO MUCH BETTER THAN A MAP, AND GETTING LOST. WITH THE NUVI THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.
 Fun Gadget, but perfect by no means, Take a map too. Nov 10, 2008
On its maiden voyage, I traveled about 20 miles from my home, I live in the country. I then touched the "Go Home" box, thinking that it would back track what I had just traveled since it was the fastest route home. With in 30 seconds it misidentified the county road I was on. A minute later it told me to turn left onto a gravel road that ran along the paved road for a few miles.This happen a few times. And yes it did route me the long way home. And yes places are no longer there that the 680 say are. Yep just what most of the reviews say! But I think that's the nature of the beast of most GPS systems. But I can't tell you how many times I've stopped at a busy intersection looking for a street sign and couldn't find one. This will help and the hands free "Bluetooth" worked well.I also liked the "View Map" feature, it gives you the the map, the streets and the direction you are traveling. Overall, with a good map and the Garmin 680 it will make the trip more reliable and for sure less stops at the gas station asking for directions. Do you need all the bells and whistles this has? Really , most of us don't. So save yourself a couple hundred bucks and get a basic GPS. It will get you there just as good. But by all means, don't forget the map.
Garmin 680 with dated maps Oct 28, 2008
Nice and what I expected (not had a GPS before) but the maps are dated and never did receive the warranty information I was told had been mailed. I have trouble seeing road signs and this should be a huge help and I like the large screen.
A great navigator Sep 30, 2008
The garmin is great. Easy to use, easy to see and a much better buy for a navigator rather than one that comes in your car and costs 3 - 4 x's as much. In sharing our garmin with others, they now have gone out to get one as well. The unit is quick to make adjustments and is extremely handy in finding resturaunts or other locations on the fly. The larger 4.3 inch screen is a must for these while the smaller screen is more difficult to use. The touch screen works well and the menu/search program is easy to navigate. The only negative we've found is sometimes maps aren't as up to date as we would like, but this has happened only a couple times. We aren't big travelers either but still use it enough that we are very happy to have it.
