The nu way to travel.

Receive door-to-door directions while staying on top of local weather, traffic and more with nuvi® 680, a sleek multi-tasking Personal Travel Assistant™. Similar to the nuvi 660, nuvi 680 features a colorful widescreen, hands-free calling and FM transmitter, then takes it up a notch by adding dynamic content from MSN® Direct. Like all nvis, the user-friendly 680 comes with preloaded maps and travel kit.

With dynamic content from MSN Direct, nuvi 680 is one resourceful Personal Travel Assistant. Using the included receiver and free trial service* to MSN Direct, you can check the weather, avoid traffic backups, compare local gas prices and check movie times and locations when you travel with your unit. The MSN Direct receiver is plug-and-play portable, making it easy to connect to your unit when out and about.

Navigate with Ease

nuvi 680 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 680 accepts custom POIs, such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs. It also supports configurable vehicle icons-fun, customized car-shaped icons in a variety of colors that show your position on the map.

Make Hands-free Calls

To answer calls, just tap nuvi's screen and speak directly into its built-in microphone. You can also easily look up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or from your phone's call history log. With 1-touch dialing for points of interest (POIs), you can conveniently call ahead for reservations or information.

Go Beyond Navigation

Navigation is just the beginning. nuvi 680 includes many “must have” entertainment and travel tools including an MP3 player, audio book player (subscription to audible.com required), JPEG picture viewer, currency converters and more. With nuvi 680's wireless FM transmitter*, you can hear audio, including voice prompts, MP3s and audio books, through your vehicle's stereo. Optional software on plug-and-play SD cards for language translation, detailed travel guide and savings programs allow you to customize your nuvi for your travel needs.
