 Garmin Good February 9, 2008
My wife got it for me for my birthday. She knows how geographically challenged I am and stereotypically shy of asking directions. We decided we needed a GPS that gave the name of the street for the next turn and didn't just say: "Turn left in 300 yards." We've fallen for that one before, only to find we had several choices at the end of those 300 yards. So the text to speech was necessary, and Garmin does it well.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars was its possibility of getting confused if you disobeyed its commands and did a turn around the block to take advantage of a lower price at a gas station or a big sale between you and your destination. Sometimes the "recalculating" feature didn't work and you were sent on a merry chase. Also, be sure you wait until your avatar has found you before you start out. Otherwise, you may be at the first intersection and not know whether to turn left of right.
But all in all, this is a great investment and a lot of fun. I'm only lost a fraction of the time...
 Wrong road names & poor directions February 8, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Several times during three trips the unit has given the names of the roads to turn on wrong and or there were not even any roads where they said to turn. Eventually after recalculating several times it will get you where you need to go just not by the best route. The unit will have you get off an interstate and get on a service road or secondary road that will end up in the same intersection or exit as if you would have stayed on the main road. I wish there was a setting that you could only use main roads, the direction have taken me thru some very bad areas when if I had known I could have stayed on a better road in a better area and gotten to my destination just as fast, safer and without as much stress. Mine is for sale, I will try a different brand or model if I can find one with a different mapping system.
 Fix one problem and I would rate it 4 or 5 stars February 8, 2008

I definitely prefer the Garmin to the Magellan 2000 that I had been using. The biggest problem I have with this product is that it won't allow me to enter some of the numeric street names. I live in the Milwaukee/Racine area where typical street names are 6 Mile Road, 4 Mile Road, and in some cases include 1/2 mile in the street name (e.g. 3 1/2 Mile Road). I can't enter a name such as this in my Garmin and it can be frustrating. Sometimes I am out and about when I discover that I need to locate a business using such an address so I have to get their phone number, then call the business location I am seeking to ask for directions, try to find a piece of paper to write the directions on. This can be exceedingly frustrating and time consuming for two reasons: 1) I own a GPS; 2) calling a business nowadays means you have to navigate your way through a damnable lengthy "push button" menus before you can actually talk with a living breathing person. Other than this problem, which would be minor to many, is a pretty BIG problem if you live in an area with such street names. Hopefully they will correct this design flaw in future models. If it weren't for this problem, I would rate the Garmin 4 or 5 stars.
 Garmon 260 GPS works perfectly; easy to use February 8, 2008
This product works perfectly with the voice being helpful and not annoying like some I have heard. The instructions were short and clear.I would recommend this product.
great GPS February 8, 2008
The Garmin GPS is a great gadget to have. It has saved several trips. Great gift for anyone who travels, portable enough to take for use in a rent car.
