660 vs. 680 Is there any difference besides the MSN in the units. Same maps?

Not sure how you went through 3 suction mounts! Make sure you clean your the area of the windscreen with an Isopropol (alcohol) cleaner before putting it on. We just travelled with our 660 around Australia (30,000Km) and it would occasionally fall off the screen due to the extremely hot temperatures - other than that it was brilliant. The maps could be a little bit better - I say that tongue in cheek as some of the places we went barely had roads and were 500Km from the nearest person :)

Navigon 7100 didn't work as well as my Garmin 360 and I sent it back. This was when it first came out in 2007.

let me clarify.My suction cup issues were with removing and reinstalling cups . i assume you kept the mount in one place during your oz trip ?

There is also word that the FM Tuner had the "Suggested FM Station" feature removed in the 680 and can only be set manually.
1004612
yeah, my issue was having it in my car for 2-3 months and then removing it to us in my wife's car and/or rentals on trips. the rubber baked into the windshield and once you got the cup removed it left bits on the windshield and make the surface of the rubber rough, that then made it impossible to "suction" back on.****disclaimer: loved the unit-unitl it was stolen!****

No. According to the Garmin website product comparison, MSN Direct on the 680 is the only difference from the 660.

the CA windshield law is a joke. i would not fret over it. i got my nuvi stolen in napa so beware of leaving your unit out. it's so small-take it with you!caveat: i have gone through 3 suction mounts. the rubber fuses to the windshield and becomes unusable. i bought a few extras as it really sucks ( no pun intended) to find yourself without a working one right before going on a trip.i am still on the fence about buying this over the new Dash internet capable unit coming out that i beta tested i the last 6 months

Major difference i see on asus site under specifications is: ManagementUPnP, DLNA, IGMP v1/v2/v3, DNS Proxy, DHCP, NTP Client, DDNS, Port Triger, Universal Repeater, System Event Log which is mentioned in 68U but missing DLNA in 68R

I don't own the 680, but use it with the 560, and they work fine. :-) Hope that helps!

Yes iv got the exact same setup (4 x 8 GB) and it recognizes all 32gb at 1867 MHz in the bios. Iv had them in for around 6 months and haven't had a problem yet. Rates 7.9 on W.E.I. and at the cheap price there is no reason not to have them in your M6700.

I live outside of Boston. We had a Nuvi 760 and subscribed to the FM traffic. It broks so I exchanged it at Best Buy and got a 780. It came with a free subscription to MSN Direct or FM Traffic. We chose MSN direct and never once found it useful. It would only show me a 1 or 2 minute delay about 35 minutes ahead on our route. I found the FM Traffic to be very useful. Once we were driving through NY City and the highway was stop and go. The Nuvi piped up and said an alternate route is available. Loved the help it gave. I began to take it whenever I drove a long distance so it would give me the traffic update. Will not use MSN again.

My data tag says 10.8/7200 mAh T60The amp hrs only really matter if your looking for more run time in a laptop 6600 vs 7200 is miniscule now compared to a six or even a 3 cell is quite significant

Actually I contacted Garmin. And they acknowledge that 255w does have all the features of 260w plus more. And they can't explain why 260w cost more. So I guess I'm getting the 255w then.

Some Routers can send you both 2.5GHz & 5GHz signals the 7260 can receive both of those at the same time, this makes the signal both stronger and faster and is the reason why the 7260 is better and more $ than the 3160. Again this is entirely dependent on the router, ao if the router can't do that you won't notice a difference.

I don't know. I have the 660 and it worked great in that one. It is still doing very well and has a 2 hour run time. I don't know much about the 700 series. Sorry.

I think the big difference is the 665 has satellite radio capability, and the 660 does not. The Garmin website has good product descriptions.

Hi, The 660s are not new. They are remans. The 390 is the newest one. I very much like the one I have. I have no complaints and highly recommend it. Lane

MSN Direct reception is still terrible in the New York City metro area. The Garmin GTM20 FM receiver works flawlessly (I own both cables). The MSN Direct receiver simply won't work when the vehicle engine is running. It's a well documented issue for Garmin, but they've been pretty hush as to a solution (or even publicly acknowledging an issue exists. It's the #1 metro market in the country, and they (Microsoft AND Garmin) continue to advertise this product as working in New York City.Save your money and get the 660 with the GTM 20 receiver.

P is the V2 version of U. I purchased the P from Best Buy today and on the back right corner it says:FCC ID:MSQ-RTAC68UV2V2 revision of Broadcom-based AC1900 router with a faster processor and improved storage throughput.Faster USB 3.0 storage performance than the 68U.http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/rankers/router/view

The 880 has awful sync (unusable) and poor SSB. The AM seems to be improved from the 660 as is the user interface. The 880 has far better sound. For AM and FM it's the 880. For SW it's the 660. If I could only have 1??? The 660 for sure. 880 not ready for prime time at all on SW.

I wondered about that too .. although I'd trust Garmin's website and other 3rd party discussion sites ... the ?70 units are built to contain maps for both continents, and the ?80 are the first one's with MSN Direct.Perhaps there'll be a future ?90 (390/690) range that combines the two sets of new features? :)For now, I'm just wondering whether tot ake the plunge with the 660 and its FMt raffic/preloaded POIs, or wait for the MSN-direct 680 to be released (April?)!

The 62st uses the 100k gamin map.Not worth buying.Get the 62s and buy the garmin 24k map.I also would recommend the garmin 24k card rather the download.Gary

The link given by Straker has some incorrect information as it claims 733 "shifts more air" than 660, while the opposite is true. 733 = 583 CFM; 660 = 584 CFM. Since they move the practically same amount of air and 660 is lighter and quieter, I would say 660 is better.
