Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin n?vi 260W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator

Customer Review: What a Great Product!
Summary: 5 Stars

Being that this is my first GPS device, I'm not exactly sure if I'm amazed by the Garmin, or by GPS technology in general. However, I am very pleased with the performance of this product. I purchased it primarily to help with frequent trips between New York and (multiple destinations in and around) Philadelphia. It's easy to use, and I have not had any problems with it. One must understand the limits of what it can do, but what it can do is amazing. I think the best feature is it's ability to "recalculate" when you go off of the specified route. This happens quickly and automatically, so that if you miss a turn (or if it directs you to turn onto a one-way street in the wrong direction - it can't read the local signs) it get's you back on track in a matter of seconds. I have nothing negative to say about this product. If you don't have one, get one.

Description of Garmin n?vi 260W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator

Garmin's n?vi 260W combines the thinprofile and attractive price point of other n?vi 200-series GPS with directions in real street names and a wide screen that lets you see more of what's around you as you drive. Garmin's line on the device is that, "the n?vi 260W gives consumers the most sought-after navigation features, while eliminating many of the premium add-ons. The result is a PND that simply gets you from point A to point B - reliably, efficiently, and with style." As with all n?vis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of a high-sensitivity integrated receiver, a slim, pocket-sized navigator with a gorgeous display, detailed NAVTEQ maps that lets? you search by name for more than 6 million points of interest like stores, restaurants or hospitals, and an easy, intuitive interface.

Wider screen lets you see more of what's around.

The n?vi 260W comes preloaded with maps for U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and features an? ultra-slim design.
Text-To-Speech
The text-to-speech feature of the n?vi 260W means that device automatically calls out street names (saying "turn right on Main Street" instead of "turn right in 200 feet."). This feature lets drivers keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways.

See More of What's Around
The 4.3-inch backlit widescreen touchscreen on the n?vi 260W gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.

Smart, Powerful Design
The n?vi 260W is built with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data.The n?vi display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use.

Garmin Lock
Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location

First Rate Map Data
The n?vi 260W comes preloaded with City Navigator NT North America--road coverage for the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico and nearly 6 million points of interest. City Navigator North America NT gives you everything you need to travel North America. Powered by NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality digital map data, City Navigator brings you the most detailed street maps available so you can navigate with exact, turn-by-turn directions to any address or intersection.

Easy To Use Interface
Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.

Garmin's own navigation is easy to use
