Garmin nüvi 680 Review
The Garmin 680 is a powerful navigation system to have in your vehicle when you travel to different locations. It has a widescreen touch display and is preloaded with the maps you need depending on the continent on which you are traveling. If you buy this device in North America, then it will have the street maps of all the cities of this continent. European models have the preloaded maps for European cities and destinations.
One of the distinguishing features of the nüvi 680 that sets it apart from other models of the Garmin nüvi systems of the 600 series is that this device can connect directly to MSN. The purchase of this device comes with three free months of free service from MSN Direct.
After that introductory period, if you like this service you can choose to make a one-time payment or subscribe to the service on an annual basis. This service allows you to check the weather along your route, find out if there are any traffic tie-ups up ahead and compare the gas prices in the local area.
The 4.3 inch widescreen display of the nüvi 680 is easy to read even in direct sunlight. You have a large view of the map of your route along with voice directions telling you when you need to make a turn. There are also photos of the route in brilliant color.
As soon as you unpack the nüvi 680 and install it in your vehicle using the easy to follow instructions, it will start working for you. The maps are already preloaded as well as the points of interest in each location.
As you drive along, you no longer have to keep your eyes peeled for gas stations, hotels or restaurants as the device has a database of all this information at your fingertips. The voice even announces the names of the streets for you and the exits giving you lots of time to prepare to turn off if you need to.
You can also download free software to further customize the nüvi 680 with points of interest that you want to visit. This will also allow you to find out where the traffic has to slow down for school zones and where the safety cameras are posted. Therefore, this device will not only help you find your way, but it will also help you avoid receiving any speeding tickets.
