Our Comment
Following on from the best selling 660, the nüvi 670 comes with full maps of North America, a FM transmitter and an additional 1.2GB of internal memory to hold MP3s, audiobooks and so on.
We strongly recommend this unit for frequent travellers to North America.
For infrequent travellers, say once every 2-3 years, we recommend the nüvi 660 as you can also purchase an North American SD card for your GPS at a later date.
