 Satisfied July 4, 2008
This model speaks the name of the street - important if you cannot (and should not) take your eyes off of the road... It also does a wonderful job calculating average speed, time to destination, miles driven etc... Whether the others do these tasks or not, the 260 was well priced for what you get... I've borrowed the more expensive ones and I am satisfied with this model...
Garmin Nuvi 260 July 2, 2008
Outstanding! I'm glad I bought this particular version that announces the actual street names. Very intuitive and user friendly, and generally has a quick response (the exception is when carrying out an open search on a name -- this seems to take forever). It has been accurate and reliable and has a nice "via" feature. The places-to-eat list is very useful.
I was hoping to be able download maps of Europe, but the instructions and information for updates are very poor (nothing in the instruction manual and the website puts you in a closed loop).
The heavy stand is a must and well worth the extra few bucks -- much better than those horrible suction cups.
great unit, but the address book is dated July 2, 2008
This is a wonder unit. It's compact, but the screen can easily be read while driving. The sound is loud enough to beat any road or wind noise. The directions are precise. The user interface is easy to navigate. It is cool that i gives you an estimated time of arrival. I have had the unit for about a month and love it. Two small things held it back from being a 5-star product. First, the address book is dated. Several times if I asked it to find a place in it's 'favorites' the place would no longer be in business. It sucks that they charge for the updates. But since most places I have an address for, this isn't that big of a deal. The other issue is that if you start from a parking lot, the orientation of the map before you start can be a little confusing. That said, I'd gladly recommend this gps unit.
 Lowest price Garmin with text to speach June 30, 2008
This is my third Garmin GPS, my wife trains with a forerunner and I have a Zumo 550 on my motorcycle. We love their product. I wanted a small unit with text to speach (says street names not just turn right etc.) to move from car to car when one or both of us is traveling. This unit is the entry level Garmin for that feature and works just fine in every way advertised. I would repurchase it if lost or stolen.
Well worth the money June 28, 2008
The Garmin NUVI 260 is an excellent GPS unit for the price on Amazon.com. I purchased the 260 on another website for 10% higher price (even though that price was a limited-time special offer). I found the 260 so easy and convenient to use that I purchased another one (this time on Amazon.com) for a friend. The 260 is not "all things to all people"; however, for the casual user it is an excellent unit for money (also a Consumer Report Best Buy).
