Garmin nüvi 260W Portable GPS Navigator Reviews:
“ I did my homework before buying my first GPS unit. I did not want nor need the top of line units with all the bells and whistles.
I had rented a couple of cars with GPS units and found out what I liked and what I didn’t like. First off, do not but any unit without the text to speech feature.
Without this feature the unit will tell you that your turn is approaching but not the name of the street. The text to speech feature will speak the name of the street that you need to turn on.
This feature is a must have.
Without it you will staring at the screen waiting for the update to see if you are nearing your turn. With this feature you can listen without the need to be looking at the screen.
The wide face is very easy to see. I knew that it did not come with a carrying case but since it never leaves my car that was no big deal. I also bought the bean bag holder and I have not even used the suction cup. I was warned that thieves may target cars with a suction cup ring on the windshield as they assume that the unit is in the car.
I stow the unit in my center console when not in use and put the bean bag under the seat. This unit starts up in about 30 seconds and I have not opened the user manual once. It is so easy to use right out of the box.
If you are looking for an easy, accurate GPS this is a very good pick.”

“Garmin is really getting it right.
I first used good GPS in a Hertz rental car.
I was so impressed, I tried to buy one. It was a very complex machine, cost well over $1,500.
The Garmin Nuvi 260W is even better. It always pays to wait.
I don’t think they can get it much better than this.
Really happy with this device. It is so accurate, it can tell if I pull into my neighbors driveway instead of my own.”
(P Roszell, Morrison, CO)
“This is a great GPS unit. Just what I needed it to do without duplication of the MP3 and bluetooth that I have already.
I downloaded a couple sports cars for fun… and I am on my way. Very easy to use and very easy to see. I purchased the friction mount as recommended by other reviewers – and most happy that I did.
I have a large vehicle and was worried that the windshield mount would be too far away for convenience. It’s nice to have the GPS so close – and it never slips.
Plus, I have 4 cars and the dashboard mount makes it easy to switch vehicles.
I am very happy I purchased this GPS and would recommend it to anyone!”
