SIRF came out with a new fix a few months ago that speeds up the acquisition of the satellites dramatically. Does my nuvi660 have this fix?

On my 750..

Don't know about the 660, but on my 750:

Tools > Settings > System > About > SiRF displays "Powered by SiRFInstantFixII..."

No

I just looked at my 660 System info and no, SiRFInstantFixII is not there.

I did some Googling and found out that it is only in the nuvi 7XX & 8XX series.

Solved

I'd be interested as well. Please let us know when you hear back from Garmin...I don't see "Powered by SiRFInstantFixII" on my 660.

edit: ahh, I see Gary A. found the answer.
