I am sure this will get moved to Tech but I will respond. I have had the Nuvi 660 since just before Christmas. The Simplicity is great my wife even used it this past weekend (she is not a techie). How ever I did set the address to the motel in the favorites first for her the night before. But she was amazed at how easy it was to find the hotel. Now things I don't like about it is that you can only set one way point with it. So if you preplan your route or want to go a specific route you have to set individual destinations to force the route. I have done this several times. lets say I want to go to St. Louis by way of Hwy 70 for some reason I will set up a destination using the route I want and set it just east on Hwy 70 from Hwy 65, and label that #1 E70 then move to the next turn road I want to take label it #2 Hwy XYZ. This will force a specific route I have chosen. The blue tooth on the 660 is nice you can talk hands free answer phone calls, make phone calls You can pick out a POI such as a nearby campground and call from the Nuvi to see if they have room. It pairs with my Motorala Razr fine with the only thing that does not work is text. But there are issues with the pairing with other phones FYI. The traffic antenna is a hit and miss. It has told me of traffic delay in Mpls on a Friday Morning after X-mas at 5:00 and had me routed through St. Paul I stayed the course and found no traffic problems. It told me of a traffic delay in St. Louis the following day and it was right I was in stop and go traffic. I know the 7100 you can put way points in and preplan. But it is permanent and you can't move it from vehicle to vehicle easily. I am glad I bought it I got it for a lot cheaper then retail it was a black Friday special after Thanksgiving.
I have the low clearance POIs in my favorites that notify me if I am within a mile of one.

It's just another tool.

Actually, there is a way around this. AFter you enter your final destination go back and enter another destination. When it pops up and says "Insert as New Final Destination" (or something like that) say no and it will insert it as a way point. As I recall you can do several of these and it functions the same as entering a trip with multiple waypoints.
