From: Amazon Posted: Jul 08, 2008 Type: User Review there are a couple lacking features but it works well

The 680 works better than a few other gps's i've used and had alot of features but needs some work on the usability. If garmin had just made the menus customizable so you can decide what is shown on the map screen and put a "go back to map button"...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 26, 2008 Type: User Review I love this device

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 13, 2008 Type: User Review O.K. But not worth the generally high price

I've owned several GPS units over the years, and while I've updated models because they have evolved, The Garmin nuvi 680 is a step back.
