Description
Garmin's nüvi 260W combines
the thin profile and attractive price point of other nüvi 200-series GPS with
directions in real street names and a wide screen that lets you see more of
what's around you as you drive. Garmin's line on the device is that, "the
nüvi 260W gives consumers the most sought-after navigation features, while
eliminating many of the premium add-ons. The result is a PND that simply gets
you from point A to point B – reliably, efficiently, and with style." As
with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of a
high-sensitivity integrated receiver, a slim, pocket-sized navigator with a
gorgeous display, detailed NAVTEQ maps that lets you search by name for
more than 6 million points of interest like stores, restaurants or hospitals,
and an easy, intuitive interface.

Text-To-Speech
The text-to-speech feature
of the nüvi 260W means that device automatically calls out street names (saying
"turn right on Main Street"
instead of "turn right in 200 feet."). This feature lets drivers keep
their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky
roadways.
See More of What's Around
The 4.3-inch backlit
widescreen touchscreen on the nüvi 260W gives you 70% more actual screen area
than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the
area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you
what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you
know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger,
meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to
push.
Smart, Powerful Design
The nüvi 260W is built with
a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card
slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB
interface for loading data. All this is wrapped up in a package that measures
4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 6.6 ounces. The nüvi display
is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your
fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of
battery life depending on use.
