What an excellent product at a terrific price! I had used a friend's Garmin and knew I had to have one. After shopping around, I found the best price on Amazon. Have used this many times since purchasing and it is ideal for me!

- Great Pocket GPS
I have owned a number of Garmin GPS product ranging from the old E-Map, Etrex, Summit and Zumo 550.
I needed something that I could carry with me for use in rental cars or simply when traveling both in town and out of town.
This product offers virtually all the features a traveler would ever need for business, please or emergencies.
Great Product and priced pefectly.

- GREAT GPS!!
This is by far the best GPS I ever had! Besides the text to speech function, which is great, it works flawlessly.
Doesn't have any problem locking on to a signal, as a matter of fact it took a few seconds, it has SO many points of interest, dinning, recreation, shopping, travel, just to name a few, this puts my previous GPS to shame.
For $199 you can't go wrong with the Garmin Nuvi 260. I didn't have any problems with the suction cup not sticking to the windshield, like other reviewers, and it doesn't leave a circle either on the windshield.
It also comes with a dash mount which I think I will use so my vision is 100% clear, sometimes having a device on your windshield can obstruct your view slightly.

The one and only negative thing I will say about this GPS is it doesn't come with a home charger, you must buy that separately, but it does come with a car adapter, but who wants to charge it in their car.
But since this only costs $199, I'm not complaining.

- Not quite perfect, but a great navigation aid
My first GPS, purchased for a 2-week vacation trip to an unfamiliar area. Found this to be extremely helpful, interface in general well developed and easy to use, 3 1/2 inch display was plenty, though if the wider display provides some of the additional controls discussed below, would be better. Plenty large map display for use, easy to read most of the time, clear voice instructions.

Greatest aid - instructions like "in one half mile take exit 130, on left, to U.S. route 28, then turn right." Giving detailed instructions for how to get through complex unfamiliar interchanges avoids lots of u-turns and 10-to-30-minute delays doubling back to get in the right place, and provides instant notice that you've taken the wrong turn if you do happen to.

Very useful to have the big database of points of interest - could find an ATM or place to eat, buy groceries easily near current location or destination.

I recommend the friction mount Garmin Portable Friction Dashboard Mount for Nüvi Series and StreetPilot C5XX Series GPS Navigators (C530, C550 and C580). This mount worked very well, easiest way to remove the unit and mount when you want to.

Recommended, in spite of the shortcomings listed below.

Missing:
(1) Can't program multiple waypoints for trips where you're visiting lots of places not in a quickest route to the end point, so doesn't estimate trip time accurately until the last waypoint is entered, 3/4 of the way through the trip. Workaround is to select each new waypoint one a time after you have reached the last one. This is easy if you've already set up the points in your favorites, BUT not having your travel time estimate right is a pain.
(2) Takes 5 clicks to mute the voice and get back to the map - needs a mute toggle for when you are off the route it wants you to take and you know and intend it.
(3) Some addresses aren't placed right, such as when a highway is also a named road and then splits off from the named road - addresses on the named road were bunched up at the join point.
(4) Need a zoom to trip, zoom to destination.
(5) Can't seem to understand addresses unless it's in an incorporated city - have to enter city name first. Had lots of trouble trying to enter addresses, had to go to a map to find the location then enter it as a location rather than by address.
(6) I can't find a way to exclude a link from a route or the data base. Can exclude all ferries and toll roads for example, but not specific ones, so have to get around this by programming a way point, but that's limited as discussed above.
(7) Search ignores spaces in its database, so makes some things hard to find (search for "REI," for example, turned up things that had a word ending in "RE" and the next word started with "I")

- neat little gadget
This is a cool gadget. Shows upcomming side streets as you hit them. Screen turns black when it gets dark to show night navigation. How cool is that. It is off with directions though. You'll get there but not always the most direct route. It did have me turning onto a one way street.....from the wrong end. The trip I took today, I knew where I was going but had it map it for fun. It send me a route that would have traken me 20 mins longer and kept redirecting me back to that route when I turned where I was supposed to, untill I passed the last side street I could hit to go the way it wanted me to. Then it rediredted me the way I intened..except for the wrong way on the one way street (a short street, cut off from 2 main rds.) So a few glitches but I like it.
