Digital camera reviews of Garmin nüvi 260 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
Digital camera Review: Best GPS for the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll keep this short and sweet. Since I've had it, It's led me perfectly wherever I planned out, fit easily in my pocket (smallest car GPS?), and looks great, aesthetically. It has a charcoal body, not silver, and the screen is among the brightest out there (unlike the Nuvi 350). There isn't an mp3 player (who cares?) but you can still use an SD card for the jpg viewer. Grab the update online which increases the draw speed on the maps. What adds to the fun of this unit is that you can also download custom vehicle icons from garmin.com AND download various other voices for the Text-To-Speech. It comes with American English "Jill" but you can download both male and female voices for American, British, and Australian English. I have a Santa Sleigh with (a slightly robotic) Lara Croft telling me where to go. I love this GPS!Digital camera Review: Best bang for the buck out there

I purchased this for my wife for Christmas based upon the recommendation from our son. We could not be happier. The Nuvi 260 is the perfect balance of features for the price. It is the lowest price Garmin that will pronounce street names, a feature that is essential in residential areas. Its small size, along with a beanbag friction type mount make it perfect to move from vehicle to vehicle or even more important, to be able to secure in the trunk. The screen size is plenty large enough to see without a problem. Cound not be happier.Digital camera Review: Best in terms of

I researched 2 days before the purchase.
This has all the functions that you use in the car, without unnecessary stuff.
1) Text speech-to-Street is a must, and this unit has it. There is a huge difference between "turn left" and "turn left in the fifth ave, and this unit tells you the street name. This is one of recent model so 2) design is slim and cool. 3) It has good battery life, too. It also have a function to simulate your route on the unit. When I travel to the complicated area, I use this simulator before I leave to get familiar with the route. You can even change icons using web, so my Garmin 260 has "American Jack" (male) voice and vehecle icon is an american football. You have to pay additional dollar, but I strongly recommend you to buy friction dashboard mount (with this, you don't have to attach it to the window using suction, letting the whole world to know you own GPS). Arriving at my destination, I simply remove from the portable mount and carry it within my purse (It is smaller than your palm). When my husband use it, he puts Garmin 260 next to him along with coffee mug, and he just listens to direction, without looking to the screen. In that case, wide screen is not worth to pay extra money. I bought both AC connector and car charger, but having a car charger is enough. I hope this helps.

An amazing deal. Got mine for $150 and I love it. I'm never lost. Sometimes I doubt it and miss a turn or two, but it always gets me to where I'm going.
