The Ultimate Travel Companion
The nuvi 650 is a portable GPS navigator, traveler's reference, and digital entertainment system, all in one. Combined with detailed maps, the nuvi 660 provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and finger touchscreen control, all on a 4.3" widescreen display, making it easier than ever before to find your way anywhere. The unique "text-to-speech" feature calls out turns by street name. The nuvi also offers a travel kit of useful travel tools to help keep any journey fun: MP3 player, audio book player from Audible.com (subscription required), JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, and calculator.
Small In Size, Big On Performance
A little larger than a deck of playing cards, the svelte and stylish nuvi 650 hosts a sunlight-readable 4.3-inch (diagonal) color touchscreen display with a recessed power button, SD card slot, mini-USB jack, and headphone output. The flush flip-up GPS antenna houses an external antenna jack, and the unit's speaker is mounted within the unit, making the nuvi 650 easy to carry in a jacket pocket, brief case, or carry-on.
Many Entertainment Possibilties
To pass the time on those long trips, the nuvi 660 comes equipped with an Audio Book Player, with content provided by Audible.com (subscription required) -- featuring more than 70,000 hours of audio programs from more than 200 content partners. The nuvi also features an MP3 player that lets you browse music by artist, album, song, or genre, as well as the ability to build playlists. Loading music onto an SD card is "drag-and-drop" easy -- no special software is required. Sample MP3s are pre-loaded onto the unit. Additionally, the nuvi offers a Picture Viewer for displaying digital photos, a World Travel Clock, Currency and Measurement Converter, and Calculator.
All Charged Up
The nuvi 650 has a battery life of three to seven hours, depending on backlight settings and GPS or application usage. The unit can be charged via the included AC power adapter, 12-volt power cable with suction-mount automotive cradle, or the PC/USB interface cable connected to a computer. Equipped with a new high-sensitivity GPS receiver, the nuvi 650 is capable of maintaining a signal in heavy foliage or "urban canyons" created by city skyscrapers.
Your Personal Travel Guide
Travelers can use the nuvi 650 to navigate to an address or search points of interest (POI's) -- places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nuvi automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. Thanks to the nuvi's text-to-speech functionality, the unit audibly announces the name of upcoming streets, letting you keep your eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. If you stray off course, the device automatically calculates the quickest way to get back on track.
Navigate With Ease
nuvi 650 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 nuvi 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, nuvi 650 accepts custom points of interest, such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
