Excellent Basic GPS Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This is a basic GPS. Not a lot of bells and whistles, which is exactly what I wanted. I have had it for about a week and it has performed flawlessly. On a resent trip to the mall I did not follow the route but took some short cuts I know. It had no problem recalculating the route to my destination. I am very pleased with the size and brightness of the screen. I...

Great Product! Great Merchant! First, I have bought numerous products from Buy.Com and am very pleased. Always quick delivery (though I always choose the slowest delivery option) and very good prices. I have reached the point of confidence and satisfaction where I now buy products from Buy.Com even when they aren't the lowest price although that doesn't happen often. Regarding the Garmin (my wife calls it Jill), we immediately took it on a 2400 mile trip and couldn't be more pleased. If that is the only time we used it, ...

Slow slow slow Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Decent price, good size screen. Not overly annoying with the alerts like some other brands. It also comes with easy to use mounting supplies.
Cons: To start with, the battery life is terrible. On top of that, the most annoying thing about this is that it takes WAY TOO LONG to start up. You aren't supposed to use it while you ...

Fantastic Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Price, functionality, performance, ease of interface use. No flip up antennae to deal with. Lots of cool things and display modes to play with. Picture viewer with an SD card for what it's worth. Long battery life at ~5 hours which is displayed in a meter. Finds things very fast and re-routes very fast. No excuses for getting lost anymore!

so so GPS Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Good turn by turn directions. Decent map labels.
Cons: Battery life. Boot up time.
Other Thoughts: I have used it for 3 months now and I agree with the other reviewers. The battery life is pretty bad. Even when the battery meter tells you that it's 2/3 full, it tends to run out in 30 mins or so. Takes ...

POIs hold this unit back from 5/5 Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: This is my first GPS so I didn't exactly know what to expect but some things that stood out that I was happily surprised with were: fast recalculations, great touch interface, wide screen, speedometer, screen is easy to view. This unit is very user friendly and very intuitive.
Cons: The POIs leave something to be desired (several shops I was looking for weren't i...

Garmin 260W Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This is a great GPS device. It announces upcoming turns and street names well in advance and just before you approach your turn. Very easy to use. Locks onto satilites really quick (never more than 30 seconds, usually less) It seems to pick the best routes to my destinations so far! Awesome quick shipping from newegg!
Cons:...
