Stuff says
The 670 does so much! And so well! But it doesn’t quite have the charisma to outwit rivals like the TomTom 920

Garmin is a much bigger name in the US than it is in the UK – mainly because it’s an American company, the Americans invented GPS and America is a country so big that when you get lost, you die.
But these days, we Brits know Garmin. We know them for Etrex outdoor GPS fitness devices like the Forerunner and, principally, their Nuvi sat-navs. These, while ostensibly direct TomTom rivals, offer cunning market difference in the form of travel guides and audible foreign phrases. The 670 is the latest and greatest of these devices.
Maps, music and Bluetooth
It has a high-res 4.3inch screen, which you can also look at photos on if you put them on a SD card and shove the card into the Nuvi. Maps of both Europe and North America are on board, and a whopping POI database covering places you might want to go/avoid across the two continents.
