Editorial Review:
Go wide with the ultra-cool nuvi 260W that speaks street names. This widescreen navigator is simple to use. nuvi 260W comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nuvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. nuvi 260W sports a sleek, slim design and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot. Navigation is just the beginning. nuvi 260W includes many travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map.

Garmin's nüvi 260W combines the thin profile and attractive price point of other nüvi 200-series GPS with directions in real street names and a wide screen that lets you see more of what's around you as you drive. Garmin's line on the device is that, "the nüvi 260W gives consumers the most sought-after navigation features, while eliminating many of the premium add-ons. The result is a PND that simply gets you from point A to point B – reliably, efficiently, and with style." As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of a high-sensitivity integrated receiver, a slim, pocket-sized navigator with a gorgeous display, detailed NAVTEQ maps that lets you search by name for more than 6 million points of interest like stores, restaurants or hospitals, and an easy, intuitive interface.

The text-to-speech feature of the nüvi 260W means that device automatically calls out street names (saying "turn right on Main Street" instead of "turn right in 200 feet."). This feature lets drivers keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways.

If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.

Summary: Great product especially since we moved to a new area Comment: Having moved to a new state, I especially appreciated this product which allows me to get around as if I had lived here for years. Customer Rating: Summary: it's just okay Comment: The Garmin is great if you live in a city, but for people like me who live in rural places or do lots of traveling in rural communities - it stinks! I have even called Garmin for them to tell me, "sorry, that address does not exist in our database." Customer Rating: Summary: Great GPS for the value Comment: I've never used a GPS prior to this purchase and I bought this for a road trip to San Diego. I chose this GPS because it is the least expensive one that has Text-to-speech (TTS) feature and also wide screen. TTS is extremely helpful when driving in a city. You can confirm your left or right turns by checking out the street name prior to turning. My aunt has a GPS without TTS, and "Right turn in 200 Feet" doesn't really help relieve the stress of driving in an unknown environment. I truly felt confident and relaxed when driving with this GPS. Pros: - TTS - Quick in acquiring satellite signal - Widescreen - Lots of POI - User-friendly Cons: - May sometimes give you a longer route instead of the shortest / fastest one - Only some fancy features Summary: This GPS is great value and it is very easy to use. If you are new to GPS and tight on the budget, give this one a try. Customer Rating: Summary: GPS Comment: Every time I use this GPS unit, I marvel how good it is. The map history is unbelievable how accurate it is on recently named streets. The data base is really up to date. With this on your dash/windshield,(Suction cup mount) and no external antenna (it's built in) it takes up very little space and does not interfere with driving or vision. When driving to a new address, I can't wait to use it and preloading in your favorites which is really easy, you can just touch the screen to start going, really easy. Remember, the GPS always knows where you are, you just tell it where you want to go! If you make a wrong turn, it immediately recalculates and you're on your way again. After you get this, I bet you will wonder, why did I wait so long! Besides the female voice never gets mad if you make a wrong turn! Customer Rating: Summary: GPS Comment: I bought it for my boss who never figured it out so it's sitting in a box in his office. Related Items
