Nice GPS for price Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This GPS unit is pretty much exactly what I needed. It doesn't have all the extras that i won't use (i.e. MP3 player, Bluetooth) and it works great. It recalculates routes very fast and accurately. It's small, has no annoying antenna and it's very easy to use. This is my first GPS unit and I would recommend this to any first time buyer...

It ROCKS! No more mapping and printing directions Bought the 260 (instead of the 200) for my wife for Christmas because of the text-to-speech street names feature....well worth the extra $60-$70 IMO. Simple to operate and loads of info (POIs) preinstalled. if you don't need MP3 player, Bluetooth, etc., this is the one you want. Have encountered one instance where it still shows an old intersection/road that no longer exists, but this is the exception as opposed to the rule. If you need to vary from the original route it gives, it can "thi...

Best value on the market!!! Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Terrific cost to value!!! Absolutely perfect no frills GPS for those that don't need their unit to be a combo GPS/mp3 player/audiobook player/sledgehammer/etc. Text-to-speech was a necessity IMO and I much preferred the smaller 3.5" screen to make it easier to stick in any pocket -- this thing is pretty thin!! Display a...

Great purchase Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Just purchased this product a week ago and cant tell you how impressed i am with it so far. It's affordable, incredibly easy to use, portable and smart. I love the fact that it reads out the names of the streets. I havent even bothered to hook it up to the windsheild because there's no point in looking at the screen when its giving you a play by play of ...

Garmin nuvi 260 is awesome! I had high expectations when ordering this and it surprised me by being even better! I went to the Chicago area for an event in Rosemont, IL and it led me right to the front door. Without it I had no idea of where I was going. If you take an alternative route, it recalculates in seconds and you don't have to wait. I would recommend this to anyone.

Looked good at first Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: It's a nice compact unit, but then most are. Still, it looks great and it's easy to use. Has a decent list of features, including some unnecessary ones, but there weren't many I could think of that would be really good to have that weren't included.
Cons: Has severe accuracy issues. For example, while following a portion of a route where I was to follow the same road for a...

Great GPS Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This is a great GPS unit. The thing I like about it the most is its simplicity. Very simple to use, portable, doesn't have alot of stuff on it you will never use (IE. bluetooth, mp3 player, etc.). If you miss a turn, it automatically redirects you to a alternative route. It had the latest maps (2009) pre-installed on it.
