Pros: Same great Nuvi functionality as the higher-priced 660 line. Great screen. Spoken-street directions.
Cons: No QWERTY keyboard or external volume control.

Pros: Large, bright screen. Accurate routes. Quick routing. Many features.
Cons: Tedious destination entry; sometimes slow to acquire satellite;voice prompts could use improvement.
