The Garmin nuvi paocket guide had some very useful hints for me that i could use on my new Garmin nuvi 775. I was telling my friends and coworkers that also have Garmin nuvis about all these little hints and tips that they didn't realize their nuvi could do. Also I refer back to it when ever I forget how to save a new POI (Point of Interest)for speed traps or find diffrent functions on the nuvi. A lot of things that are in there are also in the instruction manual online, but it is written a little better in this book. Worth the money.

Not Much for A NUVI 660 User - 2009-07-02

If I had the Garmin 700 and 800 series units, it would be a great book to have and I would have given it a 5-star. But, as one viewer wriote, not much for older units. Had some helpful insghts that I did not know and has helped some to get a little more out of my NUVI 660. I have gotten more from the internet than the book. Oh well, when I upgrade to the 700 or 800 series, I have the book. This is why a 3-star. Book is well written and has alot of insight on the hows and whats on usage and hints.

I keep this in my car all the time. It fits in the glove compartment, and has answered all the questions about the Garmin Nuvi that have come up as I am learning about the device. I would recommend it to anyone who likes written directions.
