 Great GPS for the money April 9, 2008
I got mine about 6 weeks ago. It was much smaller than I expected which was a plus for me. I have used it several times already and it has got me where I needed to go. It sure beats flipping thru pages of map quest while trying to drive at the same time.
Very pleased! April 9, 2008
I needed a GPS for the traveling I do. I did a very extensive research, reading reviews, matching prices and finally decided to get the 260. It is a very good system, I have not had any problems with the unit yet. If you are looking for a good GPS this is the one I recommend you purchase, it's worth the money.

Like the GPS, but wish it came with more directions and a a/c adaptor. Had to wait for a few weeks before I could get it charged enough to use. I am still learning. I know it will be good when I learn how to use it properly.
Nuvi 260 April 8, 2008
I did at least a month of research on GPS and bought the Garmin Nuvi 260 because of the voice navigation. This unit seems to be spot on most of the time, but there have been times that it has been inaccurate. It is very easy to use although there have been times that it will not let me enter the exact street name because it has given me the choices it thinks I am looking for. Over all I am pleased with the unit.
Great navigator April 8, 2008
I ordered this just recently to take on a trip to NJ (from NC). It worked great the entire time. In fact, it was so easy to use that I didn't even have to refer to the enclosed instruction booklet. The interface was just so intuitive and user-friendly that I was able to get it working immediately upon plugging it into the cigarette lighter in the car.
What I love is the estimated time or arrival at your destination that displays in the bottom left corner of the screen, all based on the speed you're travelling...and it keeps recalculating that time when you either have to slow down or get a chance to speed up. Also, there were a couple times that I made a wrong turn (my mistake, not the NUVI's), but the device immediately sensed my mistake and recalculated a correction route to get me back on track.
I also loved the ability to be able to find places to eat in the vicinity of where you're driving, along with guided directions on how to get there. Definitely get a device that has vocal directions (as opposed to having to look at a screen to know when to make turns), because when I was on I-95 going north, there was no way I would have been able to take my eyes off the road...just being able to hear the 'person' tell me what turns to take made all the difference.
The only time the unit gave me any slight problem was one day in NJ, when it was very very cloudy out, the satellites were not able to get a lock on my car when I punched in for directions on how to get a place about 25 miles away. It kept searching and searching and finally after about 5 minutes it gave up and said the satellites could not locate me. I attributed that to the dense clouds that were hovering overhead. No biggie, tho, as it worked fine later in the day and for the rest of the trip.
The only suggestion I would make to Garmin is to include the AC power adaptor in the kit as opposed to having to buy it on your own. I've had some trouble locating it in all the electronics stores in my area (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc), and will have to probably order it online somewhere.
Overall GREAT product at a GREAT price, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone!
