The Nuvi 270 itself is a fairly basic navigator like the rest of the 200 series line. A prominent difference in particular is the transatlantic coverage, meaning that the Nuvi 270 is usable in both in Europe and North America, unlike the 680 which is North America exclusive. The 680 has to offer: widescreen, mp3 playback, audio book playback, Bluetooth connectivity, incredible map coverage, MSN Direct services, and just so much more above the Nuvi 270.
Garmin’s Nuvi 680 best for:
The Garmin Nuvi 680 is suited for the power user who needs Bluetooth, who wants to have the entertainment aspects for more enjoyability, as well as the MSN Direct service to provide maximum convenience and information right in front of them.
