I had this unit for about a month. I returned it, after being frustrated with its slow ability to acquire a satellite signal. There where times when I would arrive at my destination before it even acquired a signal! Its great when it does find the signal. But don't purchase it unless you have lots of patience and time to wait for it to acquire a signal!!!

The Garmin Nuvi 260W is a great little GPS:
The text to speech is clear, the screen is more than bright enough, the maps are large on the 4.3 inch screen. Route calculation is fast.
I regularly use it on battery power which is long, 4 or 5 hours, even more if you turn down the screen brightness.
However, it seemed at first that satellite acquisition was very slow, sometimes as long as 12 minutes.
I think I found a way around that.
If I turned the GPS off at home, it located satellites within 30 seconds of being turned on again at the same location; if turned off before arriving home, which I was in the habit of doing, it took about 12 minutes to acquire the present location.
It seems it did not know where to look for the satellites, and took a lot of time finding them. A software fault probably, but workable.
After I discovered this, I left the unit on up to my destination and the problem was solved.
Something nobody seems to have mentioned; when a store or restaurant is located

I needed something for trips and unfamiliar territories. I didn't want to drop $4-500. I got this one one sale for about 270. No bells & whistles (bluetooth,mp3,etc) . It's not perfect, but it gets me where I need to go, and has gas stations/restaurants/etc already loaded in. I've used it in a few cities - and it's been great - helped me find my way around.
