It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road.

Customer Rating: - Buy a better one
This is the 2nd unit I've received and it isn't working much better than the 1st that was replaced. It takes up to 10 minutes to 'locate satellites', well after you're already on the road. I've tried sitting in the driveway WAITING for it to gain it's bearings and it doesn't make any difference. I have a clear sky view (i.e., no building obstructions, not under a bridge or in a parking garage, etc.). I bought a nuvi 750 that works MUCH better and acquires satellites in <30 seconds. Either the nuvi 260W is a defective design, OR I am a lucky sole that has received two flakey nuvi 260W's in a row.

Customer Rating: - Great Support
First I love my new GPS. It even showed an address that Google and Yahoo Maps did not have. But what impressed me most was the technical service from Garmin. I was having problems getting my unit to connect to my computer. I ended calling Garmin Technical Support and we found the cable to connect was not working. Lucky I had another cable from my camera that worked. Once connected, Garmin Tech Support walked me thru all the procedures to allow me the full use of my unit. Thanks again the Garmin Tech Support ... You're the greatest.

Customer Rating: - christmas gift
The Garmin came in record time. It appears to be in great shape. I will hope that it is all that we expect of it after we use it. Since, it is a Christmas gift, I won't know until after Christmas how it will really perform.

Customer Rating: - Great product especially since we moved to a new area
Having moved to a new state, I especially appreciated this product which allows me to get around as if I had lived here for years.
