Touchscreen doesn't work and it doesn't keep a charge. i have tried to reset it but the problem still exists. i didn't pay all this money for this thing to last for 3 months and crash on me.
As far as the battery not holding a charge goes, some batteries have a memory, so the amount of current you recharge becomes the total charge available. Some other batteries just don't recharge nearly enough times to be worth it.

The touchscreen is critical in using the Nuvi 660 - without there's no way to diagnose the problem from the outside. USB communication can still work, making software updates possible as far as it goes.
If it's not under warranty - opening the Nuvi 660 is a path to consider. Preferably by someone who's experienced with opening Garmin devices or (smart) phones. The Nuvi backcover is fitted with Hex / Torque screws - and is relatively easy to open with the right tools.
First area to look for is the flat cable connector of the touchscreen - reinserting the flatcable in the Printed Circuit Board connector. Be sure to disconnect the battery first. After reinserting the cable - connect the battery and try again if the touchscreen now works.
If the problem remains - clean the unit with pressured air - possibly removing contamination/dust causing (capacitive) shorts.

Hello Guys. I have the same problem and I found out the solution. The
problem is a faulty contact from the touchscreen leading to the phone
board. To be short: on the right side of the phone were the volume
buttons are, under the touchscreen is the screen's contact. Try
"detaching the screens face a little from the phone body exactly at the
volume down button(using ur fingernail or something) and see if the
touchscreen is responding in anyway. My phone has a bad contact there,
and in normal mode all is frozen. Now if I try to pull towards me, the
touchscreen frame from the rest of the chassis, only a mm SURPRISE!! My
touchscreen is working. IF this is your case too...I suggest get a
screw-driver and open the chassis, and trying to make the connection
permanent, somehow. I haven't done this yet, but will do it today. If
anyone is interested I could post the results:) PS: you can send it
back to warranty of a repair phone shop, only to force you to buy a new
touchscreen and pay for the repairs, on a 99% working phone, with a
faulty contact. The choice is yours:)
