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

nüvi 680 features a super-bright 4.3" diagonal wide screen
display for improved map viewing, POI lookup and MP3/audio book
playback. This landscape display has white backlight and a touch
screen for easy use.
Make Hands-free Calls
Talk about worry-free driving. nüvi 680 integrates Bluetooth®
wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker, so
you can pair it with your compatible Bluetooth® phone. Then talk
hands-free through the 680 while staying focused on the road.
Simply dial numbers with nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a
call. To answer calls, just tap nüvi'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. nüvi 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 nüvi 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 nüvi for your travel needs.
