Does the 660LM display altitude?

Yes it does display altitude. Also many other displays like speed, posted speed of road you are on, time, and much more. Great unit I love mine.

This watch has an altimeter or an altitude meter which is an instrument used to measure the altitude of an object above a fixed level.ActiveLifeStore.com

We used the altimeter on a water rocket and it was very accurate for altitude but it landed on a level field so there wasn't data for if it had dropped lower than it's launch height.

It's FM stereo (with headphones), AM, MW, SW and ssb reception . . I think the 660 may have the Aircraft band . . .

I have not used it during a storm yet as I received it after the rainy season, that being said, when one turns the unit on it does display Miles and km in the distance area of the display, the instructions do not list any setting to display one over the other so my guess is it displays both. The manufacturers web site may have a area to seek an answer from their experts as they seem to be a very good company, I called them with a question and the technician was very helpful to me with another product of theirs I own.

I actually don't know. I had to get rid of mine because it broke when I was in Bolivia. I was on an airplane at the highest altitude in Bolivia and it stopped working after that. I used it for it's purpose but I was disappointed and so I threw it away. I'm sorry I can't help you.

First of all, I'm not sure any vehicle receivers are telemetry capable. If there are, or if you're using a telemetry capable aircraft receiver, the telemetry module plugs into the data/bind port on the receiver. The GPS, altitude, air speed indicator, etc. then plug into the telemetry module in series.

It works off of GPS, so it is as accurate as your Garmin in your car. I'm guessing plus or minus 20'. The altitudes it gives you are just like an altimeter on a plane, above mean sea level. You would need radar to get altitude referenced to ground, not included.

no the 2720 does not show speed. i now use a 50lm which shows both the speed limit and your speed. hope this helps you.

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?)!

I used mine for the Nuvi 660...It should say somewhere in the ad which Nuvi's it will work for.

This model does include altimeter functionality that uses barometric pressure for the measurement. That mean that weather changes can have an affect on the measurements. The functions include total climb and an altimeter profile for a given ride (a small graph of the changes during a ride). I'm in Houston so that chart is nearly always flat, but the features do seem to work as expected.

It can be set to display either Miles or KM. Zoom on the Amazon Photo & you will see a faint KM under the MI (Miles) indicator since the photo shows the unit in English units mode.

I have an Etrex Vista HCx. It has amazingly good accuracy except in altitude. I plot all my trips on Google Earth and it is 95% of the time within 6' of the correct location. However the altitude information is so inaccurate compared to previous Garmins that I have owned that I suspect Garmin has deliberately sabotaged the vertical information. For example, I flew Southwest from Austin to Dallas back to Austin yesterday and the Vista never had me more that 1,600 feet above sea level. Believe me, at 450 miles per hour, 1,600 feet ASL would have been quite exciting, even in Texas.

Unsure of the highest. I live at 7000' and have not had any problems. My understanding is the previous altitude issues with plasmas has all but been eliminated.

According to the installation manual - There are DIP switches inside the device to adjust performance for altitude. It has different settings for 0-2000ft, 2000-4000ft and 4000-6000ft. Over 6000ft they advise you contact their technical department at 1-877-737-2840.

One of the display options is "remaining miles," yes. I am not sure if it is a default display or you have to set it, but mine does right now.
