Summary: Garmin nuvi 260w 4.3 inch GPS Navigator
Comment: The Garmin nuvi is easy to load with information to specific addresses. It can supply a lot of information about places of interest when you get to your destination, and we have used it to choose places to eat along the way. It is pleasant to know how far to Rest Areas, etc. when we are on the road.
I travel alone many times as well, and it is a comfort to have on trips to unknown destinations. The graphics are pleasant to view, especially at night. Overall I think it is a good buy.

Summary: Awesome
Comment: Awesome product. It might be nice if she spoke a little louder. Sometimes it also seems like she gets upset if you decide not to listen to her but great product for the price. Widescreen is a nice touch.

Summary: Exactly right!
Comment: Just as described. I have no need for features such as internet connection, cell phone connection, etc and just wanted a wide screen and voice on my GPS. So far it has been a life-saver. Easy to use, connects quickly and I love it.

Summary: Good feature list, great price
Comment: Disclaimer: This is my first GPS, but I chose it after a lot of research.
For my taste this unit is at the "sweet spot" of the Garmin product line. It has all the features I really need, including a high-sensitivity SiRF chipset, WAAS three-meter accuracy, and spoken road names, without the cost burden of extra features such as verbal commands, blue tooth speakerphone, or MP3 player.
Among other things, the battery [if you charge it for 24 hours you really can get nearly five hours out of it] is an anti-theft feature. I do not mount the 260W to the window or dash; thieves look for tell-tale rubber ring marks. During short trips the 260W sits on a small beanbag in the well beneath the cigarette lighter, running on battery. When I park I pop it into the console CD cubby with one hand. No power cord to mess with. Even a badbuy watching me park would not see what I was doing.
My only complaint, and it is serious, is that there is no instruction manual. I was floundering until I found http://www.gpsmagazine.com/print/000260.php. It is a review of the earlier 250W but so far as I can tell the only difference is that the 260W adds text-to-speech street names.
