Searching for North-Up (Updated 12-08)

Date of Review:  May 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Garmin nuvi 260W is a good, basic GPS receiver with text-to-speech and a wide screen.
Review: Updated with a Post-Script, December 2008

Garmin's nuvi 260W
The nuvi 260W is one of Garmin's basic, thin-profile GPS car navigation systems. It is touch screen operated, with nearly all functions accessed through on-screen menus. As...

Very basic GPS unit for cheap

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2008
The Bottom Line: Buy this if you need navigation for you car. Save up your money (at least another $80) and buy something else if you want it for anything else.
Review: The good news is this unit is inexpensive, functions in automobile, bicycle and pedestrian modes, has optional handlebar mounting, and has a pre-loaded detailed map of the United States. Optional cards for other parts of the world can be bought from...

Just What I Need - Another Back Seat Driver

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2009
The Bottom Line: The Garmin 260W GPS gives good bang for the buck. We like it.
Review: Over the years I have had a lot of experience with GPS and mapping software. My first mapping software was something called Taxi. You had to buy a package for each city you wanted to navigate. It was fun, and slow, to watch the software try every...

Garmin 760: Will Show You The Way!

Date of Review:  Jul 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a higher end GPS unit, it has the extra features (which you won't be disappointed by), but Garmin sure charges a heck of a lot for them.
Review: I have been using the Garmin 760 while doing my job as a police officer. Prior to this, I had been using a much bulkier Street Pilot ColorMap for the past 8 years before it finally died, and also a Garmin 200W. I was immediately impressed with the...

Don't buy this GPS!!! Zero stars!!!

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: This GPS unit is garbage. Nothing works. Caveat emptor!!!
Review: Don't know about other Garmin products, but this one is garbage. * Couldn't find Party City store across the street. * Couldn't find Kohl's across the street. * Couldn't find Sam's Club half mile away. All it could find was stores 15-50 miles away...

The Garmin Nuvi 260: A Godsend for the Cartographically Challenged

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a GPS, you won't be led astray with a Garmin Nuvi 260 at your side.
Review: I've always been easily disoriented when thrown off a planned route in unfamiliar territory. I really can't explain why, but my internal compass never oriented itself. Online mapping services with turn-by-turn instructions are helpful—but their...

The Garmin nuvi 260W: A Decent GPS

Date of Review:  Jun 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: If this is your first GPS, the nuvi 260w is a solid buy, but those on a budget might consider going with a less expensive model, like the 200.
Review: I purchased the Garmin nuvi 260W GPS about a month ago. It's my first GPS. I finally decided to break down and buy one after getting lost one too many times. I like Houston as much as the next guy, but I was tired of making one little wrong turn and...

First GPS - love it! Garmin is leader in GPS!

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: For a first time GPS unit, you can't beat this!
Review: We just purchased this GPS last week for our vacation to Ohio. Every year we take a vacation and wind up getting lost in the city, missing a turn off the highway or just driving around looking for stuff to do.

No more! We purchased this...

Lots of goods, little bad

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: Nothing extravagant, but still a very good buy. Worth the cost for the GPS.
Review: Between my family and my cousins, we've had first-hand knowledge with all three major GPS systems (Tom Tom, Magellan and Garmin) and there are features better in the other two than in Garmin but there are also aspects far superior in the Garmin...

Great Buy

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2008
The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is go out and buy this product. This product is great for females especially if you are traveling at night and dont feel safe asking
Review: I received a Garmin for a Christmas gift from my brother. I use it all the time I only have one complaint, the window holder some times looses its grip and the device will fall, which is kind of scary since they cost so much you would think this...
