Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot.

Garmin's line on the device is that, "the nüvi 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 nüvis, 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 text-to-speech feature of the nüvi 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 nüvi 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 nüvi 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 nüvi 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 nüvi 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 nüvi 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 nüvi 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.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Core function is very good, but some tweaks would be niceAfter researching the myriad choices of portable GPS units, I chose the Garmin nuvi 260W. From everything I read, Garmins were the best regarded, so that narrowed down the choice to a single manufacturer. There are over a dozen Garmin's to choose from, so that was only the first step in the process! A friend of mine had used a narrow-screen model that did not announce street names, and he was of the opinion that speaking the street names was of utmost importance and the widescreen display ... Read More Rating:  - AwesomeThis is the best toy I have ever purchsed. I used it while I was on vacation and was able to get around to places unknown to me and was able to take me to the hotel. I felt like a little child with a new toy. I just love my gps.... I can go anywhere without fear of not knowing where I am going...as well as getting back home. I travelled less due to getting lost too often, now I love to get on the road and explore places. Thanks to Garmin nuvi 260 text to speech GPS. Oh by the way..I love it even ... Read More Rating: - Garmin GPS is great!This GPS is AWESOME - it was worth paying a little extra for the "text-to-voice" option, telling you the name of the street, name of person, etc. The screen is also a little larger than most others, so it is easy to see when glancing at it while driving. Got this for our newly licensed driver, which has given her the confidence that she won't get lost! Rating: - Screen problemThis is the first GPS that I purchased. The product is fine and suits my expectations. The only problem: A dead pixel in the middle of the screen which is no big deal, but undesired for a new product. If their is any chance of repairing it or changing for another one, I would appreciate your comments. Rating: - Satisfied CustomerMet with my every expectation. Initially tried it out with areas I was familiar with and afterwards with locations that were foreign to me. Responded well to locations I was unfamiliar with while away on vacation with the family. Would recommend to all, especially with the voice over and Street names. Browse for similar items by category:
