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.br br bWhich nuevi is Best for You?/b: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators.br br table style="width: 508px; height: 627px;" align="right" cellpadding="10" tbody tr td style="vertical-align: top;"smallibWider screen lets you see more of what's around.

This feature lets drivers keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. pbSee More of What's Aroundbr span style="font-weight: bold;"span style="font-weight: bold;"/span/span/bThe 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.bspan style="font-weight: bold;"/spanbr /b/p pbSmart, Powerful Design/bbr 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./p p span style="font-weight: bold;"Garmin Lock/spanbr 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/p pbFirst Rate Map Data/bbr 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.br /p pIn 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 POIsbr /p pspan style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"Important note about map updates:/span 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.

 4.5 stars rounded to 5 October 6, 2008
heresyarch (Colorado Springs)
This is my first GPS I have ever purchased, and I was basically well pleased with all the features. It's not a perfect product....the garmin had to be turned off and on because it became strangely confused in the midst of a 500 mile drive between Casper, WY, and Bozeman, MT. Otherwise the unit performed almost flawlessly. br / br /The million points of interest is very useful on long drives in unfamiliar territory to determine if you need to exit for gas, or food. Another surprise, and very useful feature: the unit provides phone numbers as well as address/direction information. I made dinner reservations while on the road by looking up a restaurant, and viewing its phone number. br / br /The database and maps are almost up-to-date. The garmin can't find addresses that are less than 2 years old (new housing developments and street addresses that previously never existed). However, it is up-to-date otherwise, and maps track every back woods area I have driven. br / br /There is no subscription fee you have to pay for using this particular device, so it won't give you up to the minute traffic reports. br / br /Otherwise, the product met all my expectations, and then some....4.5 stars!! The garmin is a road warrior's best friend.
 garmin has zero useful support October 4, 2008

Others have denoted the long startup time to synchronize; I guess I'm patient enough to sit there and wait for it to "lock"; With that said, I've found the unit itself rather useful and I don't necessarily have any complaints, although the volume doesn't seem to go over loud rock and roll guitar solos; br / br /I give Garmin zero stars for support; IF YOU BUY THIS UNIT OR ANY UNIT FROM GARMIN, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!!! br / br /This ridiculous and non-functional Garmin communicator plugin is worthless and it makes purchasing a Garmin product worthless; You can't register your product, which means you can't get map updates; So, you've just purchased an obsolete unit from day one and you will never get maintenance nor support nor updates; Forget about e-mail/contact, and the 1-800 number is a waste of your time; br /
A Great GPS October 4, 2008
A. R. Tyler (Northern California)
This is a great GPS without the extras (Bluetooth, Traffic Updates). My wife used it on a trip to Disneyland from Northern California. She got off track several times and the Garmin re-routed her right away. She was so happy. That's something coming from someone who doesn't care for electronic gadgets. I am very happy with it and recommend it for those not interested in Bluetooth and subscriptions to MSN for traffic updates. You can adjust the brightness or have it automatically adjust according to the time of day, adjust the volume, save addresses by typing them in or by being in a location and pressing the "car" on the screen which will prompt you to save the present location.
Great product! October 3, 2008
Christopher R. Burndrett (Atlanta)
The Garmin 260W is excellent. I have not had any problem with satellite link up that others describe. By the time I get out of my neighborhood, it is ready to navigate. Sometimes it does give some roundabout directions that are inconvenient, but you still get there none the less. One complaint is that it gives too many audible directions. While driving on the interstate, it tells me to "stay right" after almost every exit - this has prompted me to mute the unit, making the text-to-speech feature that I wanted a lost cause. Overall, a great product!

Product arrived promptly, like new, works well. br /The route on a recent trip took me about 1-2 hours out of the way (on a 14 hour trip) but otherwise is very helpful. br /
