Garmin GPS

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2008
Review: I love the Nuvi GPS. It is very easy to understand and the directions are top notch. I also purchased the topographical map for the sd card and use it for camping and hunting it gives me the terrain details and all the dirt roads in the middle of...

Well I just don't know

Date of Review:  Aug 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: Overall, the unit is amazing and the larger screen size of 4.3 inches really helps those with fat fingers and those that don't want to squint to read a map.
Review: I bought the GARMIN nuvi 260W to help with work and family travels. After extensive research with Magellan, Mio and Tom-Tom, I bought the Garmin for three reasons. 1) Ease of use. 2) Screen clarity. 3) Amazing accuracy. And no, despite where I live,...

Gets me where I need to go!

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Nuvi 260 is a great mid-range GPS system. Has some great features for the price. Would definitely purchase again.
Review: I first purchased the Garmin 260 this summer because my job duties were changing and I was going to be doing a lot more driving. Now that we have taken several family trips this with it, I've really gotten a chance to test its features.

An average upgrade for my old GPS system

Date of Review:  Oct 26, 2008
The Bottom Line:

This product does its job and does it very well.  The cons I listed are annoyances I have but do not affect its performance, therefore I would recommend it.

Review: Due to getting a new job that requires LOTS of driving in unknown places, I felt it necessary to upgrade from my old Garmin Streetpilot c550 to a newer model, the nuvi 260. My main reason for choosing this model was the price (about $300) and the...

This product is incredible!

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2008
Review: Bought this product just before going to sons baseball tourney in Newburgh, IN. Obviously got along the interstate fine. But, getting around Newburghwas so easy, it seemed as though I was a native. The street name feature is worth the extra money...

260W lessons learned

Date of Review:  Sep 24, 2008
The Bottom Line:

Good buy at the right price but expect to pay for necessities.

Review: Wife bought a 260W from Best Buys on sale for $320.00 I checked around and found the identical brand new unit for $245 on http://www.Digbuy.com. She needed it for a trip to NC the following week so I was concerned that she would not get the unit in...

Garmen 260W

Date of Review:  Dec 3, 2008
Review: We just got this at Best Buy for $189.99.  So far we have found it easy to set up and use it with no problems.  I am curious to see how it will do when I have to travel and am not sure of where I need to go.

Great budget GPS device

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: Recommended to those who want a budget model GPS that does a great job without all the bells and whistles.
Review: We recently upgraded from this unit to the newer Garmin nuvi 650. But the nuvi 200 is a great basic model that serves one basic purpose: Give directions (with less of the bells and whistles of the fancier ones).

For about $250, this little...

An experienced GPS RoadWarrior is not impressed with Garmin

Date of Review:  Apr 27, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you want reliable support and map updates you can't do better than Garmin. If you want accurate directions and pinpointed turns you need to go with Magellan.
Review: I was probably among the very first consumers to own a GPS unit when they first appeared on the market several years ago. I was completely turned on to them thanks to renting an AVIS vehicle with their included "never lost" GPS unit. I ended up...

Garmin Nuvi 260W - The 680 on a budget.

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Garmin 260W is a great GPS for those on the market for an inexpensive and reliable GPS receiver that offers a decent amount of features.
Review: I have a few Garmin's in my GPS arsenal, all of which have proved to be reliable, accurate, and for the most part priced competitively. I chose the Nuvi 260W due to its high feature to price ratio and the fact that this particular model can now be...
