This affordable Personal Travel Assistant comes with many of the popular features found in the nuvi 660 minus Bluetooth wireless technology, an integrated traffic receiver and FM transmitter perfect for everyday navigation. It features a super-bright 4.3" widescreen display for improved map viewing, POI lookup and MP3/audio book playback. This landscape display has white backlight and a touchscreen for easy use. nuvi 650 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the sunlight-readable color screen to enter a destination, and nuvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. In addition, nuvi 650 accepts custom points of interest, such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs. The European version even includes a preloaded safety camera database containing the location of safety cameras for parts of Europe. Navigation is just the beginning. nuvi 650 includes many must-have entertainment and travel tools including MP3 player, audio book player (subscription to Audible.com required), JPEG picture viewer, currency converters and more. It also comes with optional FM traffic alerts, Garmin Lock (an anti-theft feature) and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. minimize

4 Star Review Big screen.

Strengths:

Precision

Weaknesses:

Pricy

Posted Jul 26, 2007 - I'm glad I bought this gps unit. It calculates route pretty fast, locates sattelites in a few seconds. It's got big screen so it's easy to browse the map. Excellent product!

4 Star Review Nuvi 650 GPS

Strengths:

Screen size, brightness, Garmin maps

Weaknesses:

none.

Posted Aug 17, 2007 - If you can live without the traffic information, this is the GPS to get. has a very bright 4.3" screen with the same slim profile as the other nuvi. garmin maps are very good as is their customer service. if you dont care about the traffic, this can be had for hundreds of dollars less than the 660 (which is the same thing with traffic). still expensive though at over $400.

3 Star Review Not that good

Strengths:

Precise routing

Weaknesses:

Mechanic voice

Posted Jun 26, 2007 - Garmin let me down. Although it's smarter than Tomtom. I still don't like it's interface. It doesn't show your direction and speed while in navigation mode (unless you hit the number on the left bottom then it'll show you some more detail). I thought that was kinda important. Besides, it doesn't list the previous entered city and street names. Yeah I know you probablly say there a recent destination, but wait, that's full address. I'm taking about a list of previous entered city names, street names.

5 Star Review nuvi 650

Strengths:

well made, easy to use, excellent customer support from garmin

Weaknesses:

still the older flip antenna, not like the replacement unit 750, did not come with the leather case

Posted Nov 23, 2007 - was looking at the 750 and 650, decided to purchase the 650 due to price. owned 350 and this one has a bigger screen. completely happy with the unit. one suggestion for garmin is to standardize accessories for different units. case in point - 650 w/o case but 610, 660, 670 and 680 all come with case???

4 Star Review NUVI 650 GPS BY GARMIN

Strengths:

Very quick recalculation.

Weaknesses:

Does not show total miles left on trip.

Posted 1 year ago - This is a very good GPS,it is very user friendly in all respects and recalculates very quickly when you get off the directed route.So far no problems except that it only tells miles to your next turn and not the total miles left to go.Also a very nice feature is telling you your arrival time.

4 Star Review About the NUVI 650.......

Strengths:

Clear and concise. Will get you to the promised land.

Weaknesses:

May take you in a different way than you might go, but it will take you there. It may take longer due to traffic, but it's effective The suction cup mount sucks. I bought a dash sand bag instead. Suc

Posted 1 year ago - Excellent product. If you rent cars, some want to charge you $10 a day. (mostly because they get stolen by the renters) Consumers Report ranks it highly too. ciao!Tebaldi

5 Star Review Excellent GPS

Strengths:

Text to voice; accuracy

Weaknesses:

Window mount

Posted May 22, 2008 - I love this GPS. I've had two others and neither compared to this one. The accuracy is great, boot up is relatively quick, screen is extremely bright and the right size. User friendly touchscreen, logical and easy to navigate the menus. On a cool to warm day I sometimes find the GPS on the floor because the window mount lost its vacuum. A big step up on this unit compared to a previous Garmin is the text-to-speech feature. It is truly a safety feature that allows you to keep your eyes on the road. Outstanding for the price!

5 Star Review Great Product - very precise

Strengths:

Strong GPS Signal. Turns on quick. Fast response & 'recalculate'. Good sound & Audio

Weaknesses:

Not sure if it speaks the street names & numbers. Input Keyboard is not standard keyboard.

Posted Feb 19, 2008 - Great product. Becareful with the windsheild holder. You have to LOCK it. or else it will fall off. I thought you just have to stick it...but after it fell about 5-7 times I figured out you have to lock the holloster to the windsheild or dash board. They input keyboard is not a standard computer keyboard, so somtimes it may take time to find the right letter or number. Overall very satisfied. GPS Signal is very strong and turns ok quickly. It froze once, but rebooted quickly. I guess its best to pull over before you try to input an address. Nice features: Change voice (i have a sexy british female). Add favorite locations. Play MP3s (SD Card). HOME link, one click to home destination. Does not come with CD-ROM or Case. NO Bluteooth or wi-fi or FM Transmitter. Who needs them, it has good sound quality.

5 Star Review Simply the Best

Strengths:

EASY TO CONNECT AND REMOVE plus has a nice leather case. Found it for half off-$349

Weaknesses:

Twice it has told me to turn even though the highlighted route shoes that i should keep going straight.

Posted Feb 9, 2008 - I am a 1st time user but this GPS is awesome. It has a large screen easy for me to see and the mount works great on my leather dashboard. I didn't need to purchase a seperate one. It is also easy to read in sunlight. I am in Florida so I worried about this. It didn't matter at all, what a relief! I can easily remove it each time I go in a place. The voice directions is perfect because I wasn't comfortable looking at the monitor just like I don't like looking at maps. It is always accurate with the 2 exceptions above and it quickly fixed itself. The 1st time I used it, I found a shortcut to school that avoids the main highway I usually take. It is going to save me so much time when I go places that are south of me. The traffic alerts are great and it helped me avoid a bad accident the other night. The POI are amazing. I didn't think I would care about this but have used it more than anything. It even includes phone numbers which is very helpful. I highly recommend this system.

5 Star Review garmin 650

Strengths:

quickly reroutes and recalculates. I trusted in maps, but i gave it a try on my trip to boston with just the gps. And since then it never has failed me yet. Ive used it more than a handful of times.

Weaknesses:

none so far

Posted Dec 19, 2007 - definitely a good purchase. I hated people giving me directions and finally i was able to afford something that will keep me on the road directly to my destination. I love the detour feature.

5 Star Review Garmin nuvi 650

Strengths:

Nice size screen. Very accurate and easy to use.

Weaknesses:

See comments below.

Posted Dec 1, 2007 - Windshield suction cup needs to be cleaned with rubbing alcohol between uses. MP3 music sounds "tinny" as it bounces off the windshield. But if your car has a cassette player, buy a $20 cassette adapter for CD and MP3 players at Radio Shack and get very good sound through your car's stereo speakers. If you don't need Bluetooth technology, buy the nuvi 650 instead of the nuvi 660.

3 Star Review Nuvi 650

Strengths:

GPS signal is good. POI is not bad. Good reviews on CNET and on other websites for the performance, not for the price. Customer service isn't bad.

Weaknesses:

Price, No leather carrying Case in the box, not a great Speaker System for the price. Unlike TomTom or Magellan the Garmin devices are not built very strong.

Posted Nov 29, 2007 - I went to Canada (Montreal), New Jersy, Virginia, DC and different parts of NY. The device worked well most of the time. Few places in Canada and Virginia, it lost GPS signal, but not for long.

5 Star Review The best gadget ever

Strengths:

Speed of finding a location, detour instructions, street name alerts, 3d directions animation, accurate maps, immediate route recalculation if needed

Weaknesses:

None found yet

Posted Aug 15, 2007 - I've just bought the unit and took it on a trip from Boston to Newport. When we've got stuck in traffic, used a detour feature and got around using back streets completely missing the traffic. All of that while using the MP3 feature. This is really a great device.
