 Great, simple to use. August 15, 2008
This Garmin Nuvi is a great little unit. Here are my pluses and minuses:
+ size
+ battery life (you don't have to have it plugged in all the time!)
+ intuitive interface (you won't get lost in the menus)
+ bright, clear, display
+ good "text to speech" (calling of street names)
- no ability to specify a route or have more than one way-point (but at this price, you've got to give up something!)
- dimming is based on time of day, not ambient light - so for example it doesn't dim in a tunnel
- no "TURN NOW" ding like the Magellan
All in all, I just love this unit and don't think you can get a better, easier-to-use unit for the money. I highly recommend it.
 Garmin nuvi August 13, 2008
We have been very pleased with the quality of this product. It is easy to use and has been quite accurate and helpful. We would recommend it.
Love this Garmin! August 11, 2008
I have really enjoyed the 260. Opened the box, plugged her in, off we went. Text to speech is a must. She can be a little slow announcing the upcoming turns however. Highly recommend!
Great Buy, Great Price August 8, 2008
We did our research and visited the local electronis stores. We were looking at the Garmin 200 but were unsure about the 3.5 or 4.3 screen. With a satellite radio already on the windshield we didn't want to clutter the window more than we needed to. The sales associate recommended the 3.5 Gramin 260 for 2 reasons. If we "upgraded" to a unit that announced the street names and turns, we could select the smaller screen as we would be listening more than watching the screen. He was so right ! This is a great unit for the price. We ordered this on a Sunday, selectd free shipping, and we had this in our hands on Wednesday. Be sure to register the unit and get the upgrades to the software. Great price, great delivery, and a GREAT UNIT. We will also use this for geocaching to get to those hard to find locations. Thank you Amazon.
Good GPS, poor battery life, battery will not charge while on August 2, 2008
This is a great GPS. Sometimes the GPS routing will tend to route you on more rural routes, but I find that the displayed arrival time is somewhat accurate.
The points of interest database would be better with more locations. However, it's pretty good, and you can search for places along your current route (such as gas stations, food, etc.).
My main gripe with this product is that the unit will NOT charge unless it is turned off. If you plug it in while it's on, it will simply run off the electrical power from the cord, and not charge the battery. This can be bad if you need to unplug it in your car to charge your iPod.
