 - Superb productSuperb GPS - better than the ones I have in my cars. I bought it because I travel a great deal and want to get around the cities I am in without a problem. I also need U.S. and European directions. I found it intuitive and especially liked the capability of finding lodging, gas stations and restaurants in places I wasn't familiar with. Rating: - great gadget for international travelI like others took it out of box & used it in USA staright away, locks onto satelites quick, love it. Then went to UK, realised where I was immediately, superb. Got free updates to maps as standard once you register the product. Not used the MP3 part yet, but great at finding stores when in need (recently my brother was in need of Dunkin Donuts...worked a treat). Bluetooth functionality needs a volume boost but doies the job. Great screen size, looks neat, could see need to the 700 series, plus the 770 had a few poor reviews, in all a great Sat Nav from the market leader for an international traveller. Rating: - Garmin 670My family took the Garmin 670 to Italy with us to put in our rental car and i can honestly say it payed for itself the first time we got lost. this is truelly a wonderful machine and we had fun loosing it, plus all the stress we avoided from getting mad at eachother and yelling. Rating:  - Map of Europe: a deceptionI have bought this GPS because I wanted one to use in both America and Europe. On my recent travel in Eastern Europe I was shocked to learn that despite the fact that this GPS was advertised to have maps for "Europe", in fact, it covers only a tiny fraction of the continent. "Europe" geographically ends at the Ural mountain. The "European Union" includes 27 countries. This GPS DOES NOT even cover the whole EU, not to mention "Europe": it does not have maps for a major part of the EU (e.g. Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria...). This item was advertised to have "full coverage of Europe" - in my eyes to exclude half of Europe (home of over 50 million people) is a deception. I was very angry with Garmin when this device let me down at the Austrian border. What would you say if the "full coverage of North America" would in effect mean that the states of New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania were missing. Rating:  - Nice unit. But a few drawbacksThis is a really nice unit. Does exactly what it's supposed to do and does it well. The only complaints I have are: 1) It's not loud enough. It can be difficult to hear when the radio is on. 2) No multiple stop routing. 3) The traffic data isn't always accurate (probably not garmin's fault) 4) No way to manage destinations (favorites) on your computer. Sure you can add them via mapquest and google maps, but it's not easy to add multiple destinations (for trip planning).
