Amazon.com Product Description
Garmin's nuevi 260W combines the thin profile and attractive price point of other nuevi 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 nuevi 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 nuevis, 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.

Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen
3-inch screen


and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen
4.3-inch screen


The nuevi 260W comes preloaded with maps for U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and features an ultra-slim design.
Text-To-Speech
The text-to-speech feature of the nuevi 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.

See More of What's Around
The 4.3-inch backlit widescreen touchscreen on the nuevi 260W gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.

Smart, Powerful Design
The nuevi 260W is built with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data. All this is wrapped up in a package that measures 4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 6.6 ounces. The nuevi display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use.

Garmin Lock
Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location

First Rate Map Data
The nuevi 260W comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nuevi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.

In addition, the nuevi 260W accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs

Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.

Easy To Use Interface
Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.

Garmin's own navigation is easy to use

5 out of 5 stars Highly accurate and inexpensive   December 4, 2008
I've always favored Garmin personally; I've used their "mouse type" gps engines in ham radio applications (APRS) and have had accuracy to within 20 feet on them. I've played with this a while now and love it; I like to dive at a spot in Terrell, TX often and use it to go there and it is a little undeveloped in that part of the city where the dive park is and this is spot on- when I approach the front gate I'm told I have arrived at my destination. I keep it set to find fastest way and usually I get there faster than I expect and by a route I did not expect. Only thing I don't like is when you use it in routing your way, it doesn't show the direction you are traveling in but that's ok, the car has a compass. Overall it's a super GPS that I'd buy again in a heartbeat. I bought a vent mount off ebay and like it better than the windshield mount, it's too easy to get distracted when it 's up in the window like that, personal preference for me, you might be different.
be sure you hook it up to your pc monthly and download and software updates that Garmin might've put out.



2 out of 5 stars Buy a better one   December 2, 2008
This is the 2nd unit I've received and it isn't working much better than the 1st that was replaced. It takes up to 10 minutes to 'locate satellites', well after you're already on the road. I've tried sitting in the driveway WAITING for it to gain it's bearings and it doesn't make any difference. I have a clear sky view (i.e., no building obstructions, not under a bridge or in a parking garage, etc.). I bought a nuvi 750 that works MUCH better and acquires satellites in <30 seconds. Either the nuvi 260W is a defective design, OR I am a lucky sole that has received two flakey nuvi 260W's in a row.


5 out of 5 stars Great Support   December 1, 2008
First I love my new GPS. It even showed an address that Google and Yahoo Maps did not have. But what impressed me most was the technical service from Garmin. I was having problems getting my unit to connect to my computer. I ended calling Garmin Technical Support and we found the cable to connect was not working. Lucky I had another cable from my camera that worked. Once connected, Garmin Tech Support walked me thru all the procedures to allow me the full use of my unit. Thanks again the Garmin Tech Support ... You're the greatest.


5 out of 5 stars christmas gift   November 29, 2008
The Garmin came in record time. It appears to be in great shape. I will hope that it is all that we expect of it after we use it. Since, it is a Christmas gift, I won't know until after Christmas how it will really perform.


5 out of 5 stars Great product especially since we moved to a new area   November 19, 2008
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.
