 Great GPS September 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my first GPS unit and it has been very simple to use. It has been very accurate in most cases. I tried a few known tricky routes that it did not know what to do. So I know to be a bit prepared for an occasional mis direction. But I am excited at the ability to take new and better routes that it suggests. It is also quick to re route a destination if I turn at an unexpected place.
 Good basic GPS September 18, 2008
This is my second Garmin GPS. I love the size and features. The text to speech is nice, but I don't think it gives me enough advanced warning, the old GPS did not have text to speech but it always let me know of next move well in advance with warnings about one mile before, this one only tells me 500 feet before my move so I am finding I have to read the thing as often as I did the old one.......it is still a good basic GPS, I just wish it communicate with me more.......
What do you,want to do! September 17, 2008
What do you want to do is the question?Let me just say that I have read ALL of the other reviews on this site. What they have to say about the pros and cons are correct. I could list them myself-----but why do you need to read a long review on a great product?? Garmin makes great products(no I am not associated with them)and they stand behind their products. I will give you an example---After I received my nuv260 I noticed that it didn't announce the street turns soon enough, before I had to turn. It only announced the turn once at about 60ft before the turn! I e-mailed Garmin support and recieved a reply to my problem within 2hrs(shocked I was)with a solution. I was a little nervous about making a mistake so I then called Garmin. I reached a rep. in Kansas(shocked again) he was very helpful and walked me through updating my software to the latest version (20min)with no problems at all. So my problem was solved by a very,very responsible company that takes an interest in its customers.This is very important to me and I hope this ""review"" helps you.------------By the way I would buy this unit again without any hesitation. Garmin 260 easy to use,dependable,reliable,user friendly and service is excellent. Buy it you WILL like it.
Garmin nuvi 260 September 16, 2008
This is a great product. Turn by turn voice is great! I saved over $70 over Wal*Mart's price. The benifits of registration are worth the effort. You will need to borrow a mini USB cable from some other device (camera).
Garmin Nuvi 260 September 15, 2008
All in all very happy. Also looked at Tom Tom and Magellan but seems that in the USA that the Garmin is the most accurate and best bet. I know they do well with marine electronics. I sometimes find it hard to get the satellite or it gets dropped when driving along in rural areas. My first real trip with it it couldn't find my destination. It is possible that it was my error though. I have yet to figure out what the "GPS Simulator on /off " function is for in the "Settings" but if it is turned to ON, the unit will not get a signal. I understand their Customer / Tech help service dept. is very good. Hearing the spoken street names as opposed to "300 feet" etc. is VERY helpful, especially in city driving. All in all, very useful item - recommend.
