I have a Garmin Drive Smart 60 which has voice command support. Most of the time it works very well but there are times when either my accent or the place name I'm trying to get result in problems. But mostly I'm pretty happy with it.
I considered buying the 660, but most of my driving is in a car, where the RV features don't matter that much. I've been using GPS devices of one sort or another since I got my first 32 foot Class A in 2005 and I've only once run into a situation where I had trouble because of the GPS.
There's one town in Massachusetts (Westboro) that has a bridge on their main road that is only 11 foot clearance. At least once a year some trucker tries to take it down because his GPS said to keep on that route and he wasn't paying attention to the abundant street signs telling him it's a low clearance.
The point being you always need to be watching where you are driving and what's going on around you. You are the intelligent one, not the GPS - at least not yet.
