Cons: Garmin Nuvi 260 wont let you prefer expressways

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 ...

Cons: If you need maps of Canada and other accessories consider the next model: nuvi 350
