I purchased my Nuvi 550 in September of 2009 to replace a Mio (another review for another time. Suffice to say, I was NOT happy with it) which refused to power-up. Using some lessons learned from the old GPS, there was certain criteria I was hoping to fulfill with the new unit:

Pros Good screen resolution<br>, battery life ,walking feature is handy to have
Cons Would like voice commands in future,little bit of glare
Recommended it? Yes

i've been using this GPS unit for  a few months no and it's not too bad.

Pros Intuitive interface, easy to navigate, points of interest, clear screen.
Cons No “Go Home”, no “ecoRoute”, looses satellite too often,...
Recommended it? Yes

I am not a big fan of GPS devices because I am pretty good with directions and I also like to have the entire route planned out beforehand. On the other hand, I have found that the Garmin GPS devices are still useful for many tasks which I had not considered before I bought my first GPS device... Read full review »

Pros screen size, accuracy, user-friendly interface, price
Cons text-to-speech quality, signal acquisition
Recommended it? Yes

I bought my Garmin nuvi 260W on Amazon for $99.99 + free shipping and I find it a great GPS for everyday use.  Foremost the size of the screen, the 4.3-inch display makes a huge difference (I was used to 3.5") in seeing the area, points-of-interest, street names, etc.  Also, the...
