I've toying with idea of replacing my 3-year old Nuvi 680. I haven't started doing any research yet, but I thought I would put the call out for recommendations from other users.
A few guidelines: I think I want to stay with Garmin as I've had a great experience with them so far (unless someone can make a convincing case for switching). I do not use the bluetooth or MP3 functions, so they are not important in my decision. I do use traffic religiously as I frequently travel to other cities on business. Price is not necessarily a deciding factor if the unit is clearly worth the money.
I appreciate any help anyone can give. Thanks in advance.
keep the 680?
Unless there's a new feature (like lane assist) that you really want, why mess with a good thing? I did a side-by-side test once with an old c550 and a my nuvi 750, both with the same maps. The nuvi had a nicer screen and spoke street names, but otherwise the units were nearly identical - same routing, same detours, etc. I plan on using my 750 for a long time.
