It calculates the route pretty fast however it takes time for it to find out what direction you are going at the moment. So sometimes you just need to wait a bit.

1. No orientation in 3D mode, do not know which way is North and what direction you are driving in.

2. No scale in 3D mode.

What I love about the device is:
1. the touchscreen,
2. color,
3. blue tooth (actually downloaded my phones address book so I can dial from the address book on the Nuvi.
4. all maps already downloaded in device
5. 6 million POI (I have tried other brands, a basic things like Zoos are not in them, they only have 1M POI.

A few weeks prior to the trip I had the second of my cataract surguries. My eyes started acting up shortly after getting off the plane from Atlanta. Blurring, tearing, ect.
I had programmed in my trip on the Garmin before I left and it lierally saved the day. I could not read maps, road signs etc but the step by step voice directions guided me effortlessly for the entire week I was away. It is easy to program, easy to use and it was a great experience in technology taking over the travel program.

The other thing I love about my GPS Navigator is that it can show you the map in 2D and 3D. 3D is so much better and it looks cool.
However, I did not like its geeky media player features however when I got used to it I really liked it, mainly because I can upload any music from my computer to the Garmin Nuvi 660 and it will play the music I chose on my car's audio system.
