This Garmin Nuvi is very easy to use, quite intuitive. When I took it out of the package, I was driving with it within 10 minutes. from Amazon.com I've had the Garmin Nuvi 260 for about ten days now. I've used it locally in the Chicago area going to places I really didn't need it but brought it along so I could take alternate routes than what it was telling me. from Amazon.com I purchased this GPS for my father who is in mid-sixties, and very computer/electronic illiterate. he found this very easy to use with little instruction from me, this is the 4th garmin gps unit i have purchased and garmin in general is and excellent product..... from Amazon.com This was a gift to a college grad living in a big city. The touch screen options are easy to use and she loves it. I'm a big fan of GPS units and Garmin. I recommend this product to anyone. from Amazon.com I have had GPS devices in the past, but the Garmin 260 is the best. It is easy to set up & operate. from Amazon.com I have had this product for over two months and with few exceptions love the unit. Only a misdirection or two close to home keeps from my giving it a five star rating. Quick start up and easy to use are the main points in my appreciation of the Garmin nuvi 260. from Amazon.com I live in a small midwestern community and though I embrace new technology, saw no reason to purchase a gps. A friend then told me how much she used hers so I ordered the Garmin nuvi 260 specifically for a short driving vacation my husband and I were planning. Now I don't know how we ever vacationed without it. from Amazon.com The NUVI 360 gets you where you want to go with clear voice instructions and the same visuals as previous Nuvis. There are a variety of limitations including the standard equipment that comes with it does not include a USB cable or wall charger. In addition the 260 takes an extremely long time to locate satellites compared to older versions (I have an older one I occasionally use which is much quicker). The small screen is OK as it is clear and has the advantage of being easily handled. from Amazon.com On a 2,000 mile trip over 5 states, there were two minor incidents of Garmin not knowing where we were. This was very short lived, and we were easily able to continue our navigation until the Garmin caught up. from Amazon.com I bought a refurb garmin 260. Does everything I need it to do. from Amazon.com
