Anything better than Nuvi660

[garyvine]

Had a Nuvi 660 for a few weeks on trial and I found the following bad points:

1) Traffic data reception works in so few places it is completely pointless.
2) There is no apparent way of telling it that A roads are slower than Motorways despite what its map data says.
3) No way to have different sound volumes for Mp3's and the voice prompts. (unless you resample the sounds on a pc)
4) No customisable display.. (why is it ETA or Current speed-Where is the choice?)
5) No Avoid xxx. (Bridge closed in glasgow-It kept recalculating to take me back over it for quite a while until I eventually crossed over another bridge.)

I did like: Size of display, East of use, Speed of recalculation, Clear instructions with street-names, Bluetooth,Mp3 player, And of course Warning of speed camera's. (although the Cyclops database is missing rather a lot.)


Is there anything better I should get now?
Should I keep it?
Should I send it back and get a cheap Speed camera warning one?
Should I send it back and wait for new improved models to arrive?

I have a few days to decide what to do so insights from people here would be very helpful.

Mio C620?

TMC is going to be terrible on all devices because of the quality of service.....but the garmin does handle what info there is better I have heard.

On an unrelated note, where did you get the unit for trial?
I have been looking to trial a nuvi 760 and a Mio C620T but I can't find anyone that will let me.

I haven't used either, but on paper the mio c620 and nuvi 760 seem to do everything I want well and I'm considering the pros and cons between them.
