 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.
 Very slow start up July 15, 2008

This was my first GPS which I bought for my wife. It is very easy to use and program. You really do not need the wide screen as you seldom look at the screen as the voice directions are clear and precise. The biggest negative is the start up. As others have noted, it does take several minutes to find a satalite. It takes at least 3 minutes to find a satilite and more often over 5 minutes. Even turning it off and back on does not speed up the start time. I was in San Francisco and it took 10 minutes to find a satilite. Once it finds the satilite, it works great. It should have a warning label stating to turn on unit before starting vehicle and to go back and get a cup of coffee. I would return the item but I bought it for my wife. I will buy a different GPS.
Update 8/20/2008 After a couple of months the unit works great. It still slow to start up. But once its up it works great. The text to speech is great as you seldom look at the screen other than to type in your destination. Save some money and buy the 260 regular screen size.
