    Great price for a great GPS

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 26, 2007 | 13 out of 13 found this Garmin nuvi 260 review helpful

    Pros: Price, ease of use, portability

    Cons: NA

    This GPS is really easy to set-up and use. Voice commands including giving street names is extremely helpful! Screen is bright and clear and easy to read. I highly recommend this unit!

    Great Product

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 29, 2007 | 7 out of 7 found this Garmin nuvi 260 review helpful

    Pros: ease of use, bright screen, compact

    Cons: No owners manual, no case provided

    This was my first GPS purchase. Its very easy to use even though Garmin has yet to publish the owner's manual. Street names are usually correct, but once in a while it doesn't say the name exactly as it should. This is not a problem, however.... I would recommend this to anyone wanting to purchase a GPS. My wife takes it with her wherever she goes. Fits in her purse and battery life is good. Would have liked Garmin to provide a soft case with the product to prevent the screen from getting scratched. A small wallet sized coin older works great. Go buy one and enjoy! Read more Less

    Grmin 260 NUVI

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 26, 2007 | 3 out of 3 found this Garmin nuvi 260 review helpful

    Pros: Easy & Accurate

    Cons: Limited info in manual

    Yes, the manual that comes with it is pretty limited. The operation is simple, though, and it only takes minimal intelligence to operate it. One slight hith was that when I fired the unit up the screen brightness, (from the factory), was minimum and ...it took me awhile and some close looks to get a screen that was usable. Everything is great now and I'm very happy with it. Read more Less

    I LOVE IT AND USE IT ALL THE TIME

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 26, 2007 | 2 out of 2 found this Garmin nuvi 260 review helpful

    Pros: PORTABLE

    Cons: SEARCH FOR SATELLITE A LITTLE SLOW

    I love the way you can look places up while someone else is driving. The one my husband has installed in his SUV you have to pull over and stop to look up places or new directions. It is easy to use, easy on the eyes, and cute that it says the street... names even if they pronounce it wrong it gets me to the places I need to go. I just love it!!!!! Everyone should have a Garminy. Read more Less

    If I had a hammer.....

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 14, 2008 | 2 out of 3 found this Garmin nuvi 260 review helpful

    Pros: ease of use, bright display

    Cons: directions correct only 90% of the time, updates to maps should be easier

    I was moving to a new city so I bought a GPS to help me get around. I was going to a business 16 miles from my home, this device took me 17 miles BEYOND my destination. If I had a hammer......... When I turn the unit on, it's supposed to find its... own location via satellite. It is usually 2-3 blocks off the mark, therefore, the resulting directions are invalid. By the way, the maps loaded at the factory are about 2 years old and getting updates is inconvenient, requiring additional equipment. I would not recommend this unit as I have all but quit using it. I plan to purchase another unit after some exhaustive research. Read more Less

    This is a great GPS, period. And an even better price!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 15, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Garmin nuvi 260 review helpful

    Pros: Easy to use and very quick reroutes.

    Cons: When tested where I live, doesn't always give you best route. But it always gets you to the correct location if you have address correct

    I'm not sure where the review saying getting map updates requires extra equipment is coming from. All it requires is a computer with internet access, and the unit comes with the cable. ?? This is my first auto GPS, though I have another Garmin fo...r the boat. I highly recommend Garmin. I have not had any problems with this unit taking me to wrong location, though there have been a few tests where it tried to take me down non-existent or small backroads that were really not the best route. Other times it has taken me more direct routes that I found out later were shorter, but not faster, perhaps because of increased traffic counts on those roads? Not sure, but overall I am very pleased with this unit. Read more Less

    so easy to use

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 26, 2007 | 1 out of 1 found this Garmin nuvi 260 review helpful

    Pros: ease of use, clear bright screen, 6 million point of interest

    Cons: dashboard mount is permanent, needed to buy a seperate mount

    bought this to use for business travel, so long battery life is important feature. very simple menu and easy to follow instructions.

    wish i had gotten one sooner!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 1, 2008

    Pros: so easy to use, compact enough for my convertible

    Cons: owners manual

    My husband got this for me because I am always lost. I thought it would be too much of a hassle to learn to use and that I wouldn't end up using it. Not so! You don't even have to open the setup guide to learn it, it's so easy. It's ...reliable in its directions and I will never travel without it!!! A must for travelers, teenage drivers, and the directionally-impaired Read more Less
