I used to have the Garmin 260W. Was fairly happy with the performance. from Amazon.com I'm using the default selection for routing ("fastest") so it's not like I chose eco-route or anything odd. By contract, a Navteq unit I'm comparing it to never has gotten me lost once. Unfortunately, that unit has terrible TTS, so I may use distance and direction announcements only and skip the street names, but I got this thing to keep from getting lost and I've taken more bad turns and odd routes with the Garmin 1300 than I ever did on my own. Back it goes. from Amazon.com the one star reviews listed are almost all a waste of typing. I have had 3 Garmins and this works as well or better than the 660/880/885. Only the features are different. from Amazon.com Tried my friend's Garmin 1300 before ordering mine. Wonderful simple unit with rapid acquisition and some new very practical features. from Amazon.com I bought this Garmin because it seemed like it would be easy to use. My daughter has a 350 and she loves it. from Amazon.com Anyway, on to the review: First of all, I have the 1300T, which is identical except it includes lifetime traffic. That being said, I have had this going on a month now and find it to be one of the best, if not THE best GPS Vehicle Nav I have come across. from Amazon.com I received my Nuvi a week ago for my birthday and am thoroughly delighted with it! It's very easy to program and provides nearly flawless directions. from Amazon.com I have Garmin 200W and wanted to upgrade to 1300 due to finding sats quicker and that part works, but this GPS takes you in very very strange directions. Not sure what they did to the route engine, but its nuts. from Amazon.com This GPS declared that one 3.3 miles away as the nearest. There are 10 Petsmart stores in my city. Nuvi couldn't fine even one. For at least one address, Nuvi went left instead of right at the last turn; wild goose chase, except I knew it was wrong. from Amazon.com I agree with the previous reviewer: it is way cheap that Garmin doesn't include a USB cable with the unit. However, mine came with instructions (and was very easy to set up, much easier than my previous Garmin, a nuvi 360) and found my current location quickly and accurately. from Amazon.com
