 Nuvi260W Very Good July 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was an upgrade for me from the C330. This unit finds satellites much faster when first turned on. Garmin will be the first to tell you all the things that are great about this unit, here are a couple things I would like to see improved
1-Voice street names only pronounced in one voice "Jill"
2-I get really annoyed with the redundancy of the voice command, i.e "Turn right in 200 ft" ....... "Now turn right" ..... And the infamous "Recalculating!"
3-I really believe someone programmed sarcasm in the voice when she says "Recalculating!"
4-Would like to see food/gas/etc icons on the screen as you travel. Touching them would bring up description like Magellan, Garmin should consider adding.
5-I don't like the UNIX style of navigating menu screens. If you want to get back to the main screen, you must enter a series of "back" commands rather that moving to the main screen in one option. To get to food POIs you must touch screen 4 times to get there and 4 times to get back to the map if you don't select anything....this is a pain while driving.
6-When keying an address the machine should default the city/state you are located; instead you must input this data every time you enter a new address.
7-2009 load maps are really poor in NC (Winston-Salem to Raleigh)
8-Custom POI with warning messages do not always work correctly. Sometimes they are late and sometime not at all. However, they never seem to work unless the POI is on your direct route. It would be nice to be notified if your custom POI was on the up coming exit. (I recommend POI Factory.com)
9-I really like the interface with google map where I can send a series of address directly to my devise before I take the trip.
Hope this helps you in your decision.
 Great value for the money. Can't beat the features! July 19, 2008

I'd been comparison shopping Tom Toms, Garmin, Magellan and several other less familiar brands. I happened to see the Garmin 260W demonstrated at a local Best Buy and immediately liked it's capabilities. The 4.3" screen is plenty big and the visibility even in harsh sunlight is terrific. What sold me was the verbal street callouts. Best Buy wanted $349.00. I found it on Amazon for around $260 with free shipping. Done deal. I really wanted a unit that had the portability, but didn't go crazy with overpriced features I'll never use. It does take a minute or two for the unit to pull up your location, but once it gets going, the directions are superb. Operation is a cinch (my wife caught on in about 90 seconds). I'm happy with my purchase and look forward to depending on it for trips, unfamiliar parts of town ,etc.
Garmin Navigator July 18, 2008
I had used the product owned by another individual. For the price it had everything I wanted. It's compact,yet the screensize is ample and the content is easily viewable. I enjoy the "fun" features as well. I even bought one for my parents. Timely shipping.
So Easy July 17, 2008
The 260W is so easy to use, it took about 5 minutes to learn how to do everything with it. Screen brightness and volume are perfect. Only problem was some of the points of interest had the wrong addresses.
LEADER in GPS July 17, 2008

it worked right out of box. no problems so far. Garmin is leader in the GPS industry. after a researching and testing other competitors, Garmin was the most intuititive and easiest to use. this is the best product if you don't want to spend more than $300 for 4.3" and text to speech. I got for $254 total.
