Garmin nüvi 260 Car GPS Receiver

The Bottom Line: The Garmin 260W is a great GPS for those on the market for an inexpensive and reliable GPS receiver that offers a decent amount of features.

Review: I have a few Garmin's in my GPS arsenal, all of which have proved to be reliable, accurate, and for the most part priced competitively. I chose the Nuvi 260W due to its high feature to price ratio and the fact that this particular model can now be...

The Bottom Line: Not too many features but also inexpensive and will give you confidence on the road.

Review: GPS- The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day...

The Bottom Line:

While Garmin usually does a wonderful job with their GPS units, the 760 is the exception.

Review: A well-designed GPS can make driving in an unfamiliar area less stressful, even enjoyable. Conversely, a poorly designed GPS can be completely counterproductive: leaving a traveler many miles off course or worse: completely lost. With this being the...

The Bottom Line: More features than you would normally expect in a navagation system priced below $250. Easy enough for anyone to operate from out of the box without consulting the owners manual.

Review: If you have a list of "must have" features in a GPS this Garmin 760 should be very accommodating:

The Garmin 760 is being phased out soon if not already and the model 765T will take its place. The visual differences are noticeable and the...

The Bottom Line: The Garmin 260W GPS gives good bang for the buck. We like it.

Review: Over the years I have had a lot of experience with GPS and mapping software. My first mapping software was something called Taxi. You had to buy a package for each city you wanted to navigate. It was fun, and slow, to watch the software try every...

The Bottom Line: I would recommend the Garmin 200 Nuvi to anyone who is looking for an affordable and easy-to-use GPS unit.

Review: When my mother asked for a GPS for her car one year for Christmas, the entire family laughed at her because she never even leaves town! We all laughed and laughed... and then started making reservations to borrow it for upcoming day trips,...

The Bottom Line:

In a side-by-side comparison with my three year old TomTom One XL-S GPS, the Garmin Nuvi 760 GPS comes up short.

Review: I travel, a lot; not only back and forth to work, but for personal reasons as well of course. Most of my travel is confined to the area in and around Chicago, IL, but that is an immense area covering the better portion of northeastern Illinois. I...

The Bottom Line: If you never want to get lost again invest in a Garmin nuvi 260.

Review: Garmin Nuvi 260 Review

I originally got a Garmin nuvi 200 for Christmas 2007. I fell in love with it and so did my family. My daughter was borrowing it all the time and I was going to get her one of her own when a friend of mine told me about...

The Bottom Line: This little gadget is easy to use, and comes in handy to find where you want to go and get their in a timely fashion

Review: I got my Garmin nuvi 200 for Christmas from my husband. I did not really think I needed one, but this little gadget has really come in handy. I thought it was amazing that I could use this device with NO monthly service fee. It comes preloaded with...

The Bottom Line: A feature-filled sat nav for your car.

Review: The Garmin nuvi 760 is my replacement for the aging Garmin StreetPilot III I have owned since the early millennium. The old workhorse did it's job, but newer models have more map data onboard, faster calculation times, and have bigger and better...
