User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great GPS and Fun to Use
The Garmin nuvi 260W is a great product. I purchased a Garmin GPS in 2002 and was so dissatisfied with it (i.e., tiny screen; too many buttons) that I returned it to Amazon after one trial run. Wow, what a difference 7 years makes. The 260W is everything the earlier version was not. The screen is even easy for my senior-citizen eyes to read, and the user interface and operation is so easy. My wife, who is not a “button pushing” type person, can easily (and enjoyablly) use this product. Programming a trip is so easy and finding restaraunts and other places of interest has worked so seamlessly for us. A great product. A great buy.
