Garmin nuvi 680 Pro Reviews

The Garmin Nuvi 680 is a solid choice for a midline feature-rich GPS system. Don’t rely too heavily on the MSN Direct feature, and expect some challenges and wasted gas when redirecting after wrong turns. The MP3 player, Bluetooth and FM transmitter are all stout features that should be included in all GPS units in the future, but were thankful Garmin added them to the 680. We’re hoping that someday a Qwerty keyboard will replace the ABC keyboard that Garmin still uses as most people are accustomed to text messaging in the qwerty style and now expect everything tech related to follow – especially GPS units. The street price of the Nuvi 680 is around $399.99USD to $499.99USD depending on the retailer and includes everything you need to start navigating the road right out of the box.

When I first reviewed the Garmin nuvi 660 last year, I gave it the highest rating of Editor's Choice. Like the 660, the nuvi 680 remains an outstanding GPS packed full of handy features without adding clutter or confusion to the interface. Each feature is thoughtfully implemented and well-designed.
