Garmin Nuvi 760 760T Car GPS Receiver

$353.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
every model that i looked at had strengths and weaknesses and there wasn't a product that made it a clear cut decision.
from www.amazon.com
it also doesn't have a "satelite map" mode like on the 660 when you press the signal strength, but this isn't a big deal.
from www.amazon.com
i turn it on inside my house and within seconds i have a full strength signal.
from www.amazon.com
initially it simply shows you a bar read-out similar to a cellphone strength readout.
from www.amazon.com
i found this nuvi well-designed and well-constructed.

Garmin nuvi 260W Car GPS Receiver

$235.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's alot thinner than the old garmin and that in turn makes it feel more fragile, i keep thinking i'm gunna break it so i'm extra careful when handling it.
from www.amazon.com
great gps -- works as advertised -- only downside is that map updates don't include all of the minor roads constructed/named in the last few years.
from www.amazon.com
i also purchased a dash mount for the unit and once again pleased with the stability of the mount.
from www.amazon.com
once given instructions, i was able to update the maps which still didn't have a few major retail outlets that had been constructed a year ago.

from BlazeFallow, www.newegg.com
it will also give you a run down of the signal strength and battery life of your phone.i previously owned a garmin c320 but the battery died in it and wouldn't run on anything but a usb plug in.
from www.amazon.com
it varies with satellite signal strength.
from www.amazon.com
compared to that old model, nuvi 265wt has the traffic information, but is not as well made.
from LostInSpace, www.newegg.com
this model lacks a (relatively useless but fun) feature on my older garmin that showed you the number and signal strength of the gps satellites.

as to physical features, the build quality is excellent and the mount represents a real improvement over the 6xx series.
from www.amazon.com
and my old garmin is durable.
from www.amazon.com
however, when compared to the nuvi 660 which i own, garmin seemed to have skimped on the build quality (materials) of this more recent nuvi.

it varies with satellite signal strength.
from www.amazon.com
compared to that old model, nuvi 265wt has the traffic information, but is not as well made.
from www.amazon.com
also, the fit & finish also seems to be far cheaper than the classic 350/360 which seem to be very well made.
from www.amazon.com
but for me, if the main reason you buy a gps--the maps and the map data--are no good, all the rest is just flimsy window dressing.
