 All you need November 19, 2008
This Garmin is all the navigation system you will ever need. Feature rich, good price and intuitive to use. I don't leave home without it.
Just the other day I was in unfamiliar territory when I got a nail in my tire. Found out from the Garmin I was .3 miles from a national tire shop to take the car to for repair of the tire.
Great product!
 Garmin Nuvi 260 November 19, 2008

Just a typical female who wanted some saftey and security to travel from Calif. to Utah. Since it's certainly easy to get lost this was a good choice. The nav. device started up quickly and I did'nt have to have a degree in high tech. to get it going,a real added plus! It was quick and effortless to set up. The only real problem with it-and I did conciter this a real problem-was that if you did'nt take the route it wanted you to,it would reroute you back to were it felt you should be. Even if the route it wanted was 60 miles out of the way! I did like the fact that if you missed an exit it would give you the next-but again in a "round about way" that cost alot of time,gas and some frustration. Bouncing you all over the side roads rather than puting you on the nearest freeway entrance. The maps need to be "updated Badly". So if you decide to take a small diverstion (after you get there)turn it off. Then re-enter the address you want-it will be easier on you and the car,hahaha.
Fantastic GPS November 18, 2008
I bought the Nuvi 350 for my girlfriend's birthday present and we both love it! It's very accurate and recalculates very quickly should you miss a turn or search for a detour due to traffic, etc. The text to speech is a major help in keeping your eyes on the road and just listening to the gps instead of having to look at the screen while driving. I've used a few other gps's in the past and this one is definitely the best...and for the price, it's an excellent deal! Highly recommend this unit.
Pretty darn good November 18, 2008
Made me a much more relaxed driver especially when I saw it could adjust for changes in route. The only perplexing part is that it seemed to get confused in some parts of Manhattan - I knew how to get where I wanted to but it didn't on several occasions.
Thank goodness for my Garmin! November 18, 2008
I bought this Garmin about 2 weeks before moving to Los Angeles and it has proven invaluable here. I have a poor sense of direction and get lost all the time, but the Garmin has solved this problem! The screen is easy to see, voice command is clear and accurate, and mounting hardware included is really all you need. Also comes with cigarette-lighter power adapter. This is really a great value. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to get it to avoid certain streets. Maybe it doesn't have this feature, not sure?
