   I purchased the Garmin Nuvi 260W at http://bit.ly/aEaJfwa

   couple of weeks ago. I took a trip and brought it along. I love

   how it has spoken street names. It is so much easier than

   listening to ” turn in 200 feet” or what the case may be. This

   is a fairly basic model but for the little traveling I do I

   didnt want to spend alot of money on a more advanced unit. The

   wide screen is great too, nice and large and easy to read. It

   comes with the car charger and a suction cup mount for the

   windshield.

   I used it a couple of times traveling to work so I could get

   used to how it worked. The problem I encountered was that it

   kept giving me the wrong directions to get to my job. However,

   there has been alot of construction in and around where I work

   and some new roads constructed too so maybe that had something

   to do with it. When I took my trip last weekend I didnt have a

   problem until I got to my destination and it couldnt find the

   street but this was in a newer development and lots of new

   construction too. I’m really not sure that has anything to do

   with it but I kind of had the feeling it did. Other that that

   it worked very well. Once I finally got to my destination I

   marked it in the GPS and now I wont have a problem when I go

   back to visit again.

   I dont think there is any brand of GPS that is always going to

   be accurate 100% of the time at this price level, but for me it

   works just fine. It was well worth the money.
