Garmin Nuvi 660 today only $349

Amazon.com Gold Box deal today is the Garmin Nuvi 660 for $349. Better jump quick if you want one as this will at most be only today. Could sell out in hours.

Hmm, wonder what the differences are between the high end Nuvis - Costco has the 680 for $479 (and the 360 for $249). Confusing..

Wow. That is a great deal for an excellent GPS unit. $479 vs. $349 is not worth it for the 680 model. I have that now after replacing my stolen 660. The 680 gets you MSN services, weather, movie times, gas prices, and traffic but the reception is spotty and often outdated. The 660 has a more reliable traffic service receiver. Otherwise, the same unit.

Cool, I was wondering if the "Traffic Receiver: MSN® Direct Traffic " was better or not. Thanks

Thanks tag for the post, saw it on Dealnews too but it was a good reminder

Fyi for anyone interested, they are taking orders now for product not in stock so it will ship in a week or two. I figure I might as well get on the backorder, can cancel if I change my mind and/or want to go to a cheaper model or up to the very neat sounding but more expensive 760
