Receive door-to-door directions while
staying on top of local weather, traffic and more with Garmin Nuvi 680, a sleek
multi-tasking Personal Travel Assistant™. Similar to the Garmin Nuvi 660, the
Garmin Nuvi 680 features a colorful widescreen, hands-free calling and FM
transmitter, then takes it up a notch by adding dynamic content from MSN Direct.
Like all Garmin nüvis, the user-friendly Garmin Nuvi 680 comes with preloaded
maps and travel kit.
Get Localized Information
With dynamic content from MSN Direct , Garmin Nuvi 680 is one
resourceful Personal Travel Assistant. Using the included receiver and free
trial service* to MSN Direct, you can check the weather, avoid traffic backups,
compare local gas prices and check movie times and locations when you travel
with your unit. The MSN Direct receiver is plug-and-play portable, making it
easy to connect to your unit when out and about.
Navigate with Ease
Garmin Nuvi 680 comes ready to go right out of the box with
preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest
(POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the
sunlight-readable color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there
with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. It even announces the name
of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. In
addition, Garmin Nuvi 680 accepts custom POIs, such as school zones and safety
cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs. It also
supports configurable vehicle icons — fun, customized car-shaped icons in a
variety of colors that show your position on the map.
