Garmin GPS Deal...

I just ordered a Garmin nuvi 660 GPS unit from Best Buy for $350 in preparation for my road trip. They are including a $50 Best Buy gift certificate in the deal, so I can buy some more accessories with it. I could have gotten the newer nuvi 750 unit for about the same price, but that unit doesn't have Bluetooth built in, which I find very helpful in the car. The main difference between the 600 and 700 series (as far as the features I care about) is that the 700 has an integrated antenna while the 600 relies on a flip up on. There are additional features in the 700 series units, but I believe the 660 I purchased already does everything I need it to do.
My old GPS is a worn out handheld Garmin Vista that no longer stays on because the battery contacts are loose and the buttons don't always work now. This one should be leaps and bounds better than what I was using although it can't be mounted on a bicycle like the Vista could.
You can find the deal here. The nuvi 600 or 700 series of GPS's seem to be getting the most favorable reviews so far. Here's a detailed review from GPS Magazine. Still, I like the GPS units that are integrated into the car's dash. You can move these units from car to car, but you have cables and mounts hung into the car which can be inconvenient.
