The Garmin Nuvi 680 is a solid choice for a midline feature-rich GPS system.


Highs: Bright and large 4.3-inch touchscreen display; lots of features; easy to use

Lows: MSN Direct is sub par; no multi-point navigation; poor route redirecting

Where to buy:

If you look up Nuvi in the dictionary, you won’t find anything, and on a traditional US keyboard, it’s hard to even type N ü (hold down alt, then on your numeric keypad type 0252) v i.

Today we are looking at their 680 model which features Bluetooth connectivity and MSN Direct which provides real-time traffic data, movie times and more. The Garmin Nüvi 680 has a street price of around $399 USD. Check out our full review after the jump.
