The Garmin Nuvi 260: A Godsend for the Cartographically Challenged

by ChrisJoker ChrisJoker is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Electronics, , Jul 05 '08
Pros: Compact, easy to use, accurate, intuitive menus, easy-to-read maps
Cons: On-screen keyboard doesn't have a QWERTY mode, which can take some getting used to
I’ve always been easily disoriented when thrown off a planned route in unfamiliar territory. I really can’t explain why, but my internal compass never oriented itself. Online mapping services with turn-by-turn instructions are helpful—but ...

Very easy to use Garmin nüvi 760 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator

by walkerpkw , Mar 07 '09
Pros: Most features I've seen in a GPS priced below $250 and getting cheaper each day.
Cons: Discontinued. The hotdog sized 12v plug is a little on the long side, 4.5 inches.
If you have a list of "must have" features in a GPS this Garmin 760 should be very accommodating: The Garmin 760 is being phased out soon if not already and the model 765T will take its place. The visual differences are noticeable and the ...

Just What I Need - Another Back Seat Driver

by gamblin_man Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jan 13 '09
Pros: Small, light, efficient
Cons: Not many
Over the years I have had a lot of experience with GPS and mapping software. My first mapping software was something called Taxi. You had to buy a package for each city you wanted to navigate. It was fun, and slow, to watch the software try every route ...

Pros: easy to use, very intuitive, reasonable price
Cons: have to get used to the instructions it gives, not always accurate
When my mother asked for a GPS for her car one year for Christmas, the entire family laughed at her because she never even leaves town! We all laughed and laughed... and then started making reservations to borrow it for upcoming day trips, vacations, ...

Good GPS Device, But Not as Good as My TomTom

by vemartin Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jun 01 '09
Pros: Detailed map of the U.S. and Canada; spoken instructions including street names.
Cons: Limited on-screen information; speaker volume is too low.
I travel, a lot; not only back and forth to work, but for personal reasons as well of course.  Most of my travel is confined to the area in and around Chicago, IL, but that is an immense area covering the better portion of northeastern ...

Garmin Nuvi 260 ReviewI originally got a Garmin nuvi 200 for Christmas 2007. I fell in love with it and so did my family. My daughter was borrowing it all the time and I was going to get her one of her own when a friend of mine told me ...

Portable Mapquest - The Successor

Pros: Many features, Faster calculation, easy mounting
Cons: Questionable routes.
The Garmin nuvi 760 is my replacement for the aging Ga rmin StreetPilot III I have owned since the early millennium. The old workhorse did it's job, but newer models have more map data onboard, faster calculation times, ...

Nuvis are for consumers

by bramfrank , Jun 14 '08
Pros: Excellent form factor, sensitive receiver, quick turn on, simple interface
Cons: Poor speakerphone, can't configure display fields, no carrying case, tech support full of itself.
I now have a Nuvi 760 installed on the windshield of my car. I happen to like Garmin navigators in general, but the Nuvi and Zumo series miss the mark for the 'experienced' among us - and quality is lacking somewhat in some areas as well. I used ...

by ngurevic Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 10 '08
Pros: Large screen, good volume, good interface, loads of useful information, expandable
Cons: If you need maps of Canada and other accessories consider the next model: nuvi 350

An experienced GPS RoadWarrior is not impressed with Garmin

by njronbo , Apr 27 '08
Pros: Pretty map display. Shows speed limit where available.
Cons: No chime at turn. Actually got me lost.
I was probably among the very first consumers to own a GPS unit when they first appeared on the market several years ago. I was completely turned on to them thanks to renting an AVIS vehicle with their included "never lost" GPS unit. I ended up buying ...

Outstanding GPS with solid features!

by markjrenna , Jul 08 '08
Pros: Beautiful and bright 4.3" screen with “Text To Speech”, Traffic, and Bluetooth.
Cons: No carry case or house AC adapter are far from show stoppers.
My wife and I have been using Garmin C320 GPS in each of our cars since 2005. It was time for an upgrade. I purchased the Garmin Nuvi 760 and we love it. Here is a little overview about how I decided what to get and some of the key features we had to ...

Unimpressed. Bad Information, but nice statistics

by wpennington , Jul 25 '08
Pros: Nice trip features and active MPH. Ability to find many businesses.
Cons: Too many incorrect responses to searches. Poor battery life. Cannot send addresses by bluetooth.
I received the Garmin Nuvi 760 as a gift. What I asked for was a bluetooth GPS to use with my T-mobile Blackberry 8320 to use with Google Maps. Since this was a gift, and significantly more expensive than the item that I requested, I decided to be open ...

Garmin 760: Will Show You The Way!

by noslein303 , Jul 21 '08
Pros: Accurate, Awesome Features
Cons: Expensive
I have been using the Garmin 760 while doing my job as a police officer. Prior to this, I had been using a much bulkier Street Pilot ColorMap for the past 8 years before it finally died, and also a Garmin 200W. I was immediately impressed with the 760 ...
