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

Customer Review: An adequate GPS
Summary: 4 Stars

This GPS is just what I wanted in that it's very simple and easy to operate. It won't take pictures or make phone calls or do the laundry. It just navigates. I tried using it around town and it works quite well, although it occasionally fails to tell me to make a turn--I haven't figured out why. It doesn't always choose the route with fewer stop lights and less traffic, but it always gets me where I'm going and sometimes shows me a better route than the one I usually take. The maps it came with were quite out of date. I was able to download newer maps free of charge, but this was a lengthy process. The new data is not as new as I'd like--it still lists restaurants that have been out of business for a couple of years. It speaks in a pleasant voice that usually pronounces street names correctly (but it put the accent on the second syllable in Bakerview--something no human would do). Overall I'm quite satisfied and feel confident in using it in unknown territory.

Description of Garmin n?vi 260W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished)

Go wide with the ultra-cool nuvi 260W that speaks street names. This widescreen navigator is attractively-priced and simple to use. Like the rest of the nuvi 200-series, you're just a few screen taps away from anywhere.

Navigate With Ease
nuvi 260W comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nuvi takes you there with 2-D or 3-D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. In addition, nuvi 260W accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.

Take It With You
Like the rest of the nuvi 200-series, nuvi 260W sports a sleek, slim design and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot.

Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nuvi 260W includes many travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and is compatible with our free Garmin Garage where you can download custom vehicles that show your location on the map. Enhance your travel experience with optional plug-in SD cards such as Garmin Travel Guides for detailed data on attractions.

nuvi 260W: It's a whole n? way to travel.


This is a refurbished GPS. Refurbished generally means that the unit has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the navigator back to like new conditions.

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.

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. All this is wrapped up in a package that measures 4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 6.6 ounces. 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 ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and n?vi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.

In addition, the n?vi 260W accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs

Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.

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
