I had a nuvi 350 and sold it to get this Nuvi 260W. I don't need the other features the 350 had over this and the 350's screen washes out in sunlight. This 260W is great. It picked up signals even inside my home better than my old 350. The display is absolutely fantastic. If you just need a plain gps without the other fancy features like MP3 and bluetooth, this is the unit to get. Very slim size and no antenna to flip up.

This is an identical product as the Garmin nuvi 260, except the width is a little bigger which doesn't do any good. While I am driving I need to see what's infron of me, not what's beside me, moreover since you have street name declaration you will rarely look at the screen.
Funny enough, eventhough it seems like wide screen is good, I find it to be annoying! Because of it's shape and size it's often difficult to accomodate in your vehicle, specially if you driving the little fuel efficient cars, like my Versa.
I wouldn't pick this over Garmin nuvi 250 even if it had the same price take, if less I would have considered.
It's a great product just like 250, with the unnecessary width and couple of extra bucks.

I just bought this for my Husband to use on out of town business. Out of the box, this GPS is very easy to use. I liked the size of the screen and text to speech. HOWEVER, upon entering my office address, this fantastic little machine could not locate it in our metro Altanta location. POI's did not list the grocery and fast food less than 5 miles from our home. Maybe it will take a little tweeking to get it right?
For our first GPS, it is a unique gadget that I am sure we will love.

A very basic GPS. It does not have some of the bells and whistles that some of the others have and yet is still fairly pricey. However, I do believe you get what you pay for. Overall the system does just what it is supposed to. Recalculations were fast and directions have been accurate (so far).
