    Looking at two Garmin ystems. The Nuvi 660t and 250w. Had a look on the Garmin site and from what I can see the differences are mainly things like bluetooth for the phone and MP3. On the sat nav side are these basically the same?

    I dont need th emp3 or bluetooth as I already have a bluetooth radio that'll play mp3's.

    Is there any reason to pay €120 extra (Komplett prices) for the 660 over the 250?

    Cheers for any help.

    A quick answer will be NO. If you didn't have the other gadgets you'd wonder whether to get all in one functionality which isn't always a good way to do things. I'd say since you have the other stuff, a nuvi 250w or 200w will do the job for ya.

    Btw, I don't know the difference betwee the 250w and 200w. Any ideas?

    Thats the only diff I think aswell. OP, I have a 250W with 2008 maps, I'm quite happy with it. I deliberately got that model because I didn't want all the extra stuff. I have a car kit and an ipod. I dont want to have my sat nav going all the time to take calls in my car, and tbh its a bit big for an mp3 player :) I think the 2xx series is the latest aswell. My opinion, get what suits your needs most.
