As advertised. Ready to use straight out of the box. Great for non tech types and occasional users.

The Garmin nuvi 260W is a great GPS unit. The 4.3-inch screen makes it very easy to see and type, and the voice street by street directions are a must! I would definitly recommend this exact unit to any perspective buyer.

once you have it you find it makes your life more efficient. After much research we felt the Garmin nuvi 260w was the GPS for us. It was easy to use right out of the box (good thing because they really don't provide directions). Its like any other type of electronic equipment, once you use it, navigating the different screens becomes second nature.
We traveled the northwoods and never had a problem finding the satellite, takes a few seconds when you first turn it on, not a big deal.
My favorite part of our trip was surfing in our hotel, finding out where we wanted to go the next day - entering the addresses into the Garmin, and it would take us directly there ('500 feet ahead on the left'). Seriously, how much easier can it get? You can search for gas stations, it will tell you how far - in case your tank is getting low. You can find a deli or grocery store, very nice when you are 300 miles from home.
The 4.3 inch wide screen is clear and colorful. You can zoom in or out and there is enough screen space to see where you are going (even exit numbers). It shows trip stats (how fast you are driving and the average speed).
The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because you can't change the voice. When you are in the car for 6 hours a day, it would be nice to have an option.
Nice clear picture, controls that are easy to use, features that help with creature comforts, and it was always right.
I would recommend it to everyone I know. My husband has it now on his bike ride (also has a walking mode).
Go get Garmin!
Easy, fun and practical! October 16, 2008

My Garmin nuvi 260w arrived much faster than Amazon said, which made me very happy. I was on my way out of town when I received it, so I plugged it right in and started using it. That easy. I am not a techie, so I was a bit nervous that it would take me a while to figure everything out. It was a no-brainer! I have read other people's complaints that it does not come with a manual. You DO NOT need one. There is one built in. It gets you exactly where you need to go, instills a huge sense of confidence when you are traveling and it is too fun to use! The first part of my trip was to an area out of town that I already know, so I was able to test the nuvi and gain confidence. The 2nd part of my trip was to a very unknown area that I was nervous to drive in and I had complete faith in my nuvi. The trip went off without a hitch. Traffic circles, strange angle turns, etc, were easy to navigate with it. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Features I love: The text to speech option is wonderful, the auto dimming night screen, auto recalculate if you miss a turn, the zoom in/out screen option, the absolute confidence I have when driving since I got it.
