What was most impressive was the ease, pleasure actually, of returning a product to Amazon. I was amazed that they even returned my expedited delivery fees! Did not like the product much, but Amazon.com gave me the warm fuzzies! returned product

My wife wanted one for herself so I started researching GPS's to find the best one since it's been 2 years for me. After all my research, for the price, functionality, size of screen, the 260W is still the way to go. Nothing fancy, no features that are like "oh...it does that?", but you never use it. It's a straight up workhorse GPS with a big screen. 260W is an original, but remains the best

My in-laws have a Tom-Tom that I have borrowed and I like the Garmin better. It is more user friendly. I purchased the Garmin 255W for my son that I really like also. I would recommend either one.

Have only used it for two long distance trips thus far. For the most part, it was great. However,it doesn't seem to be able to distinguish a road detour from a traveler's deliberate change in direction. On 85 South there was roadwork and traffic was shifted to a parallel road. The GPS saw that as an entire change in routing. The "manual" is not very helpful for use of anything but the basic features. Nevertheless, I am still hopeful that I'll be able to figure out the other features and am looking forward to trying them. For the price, I think that an A/C adapter should also have been included.

The information it gives for points of interest ie. restaurants and shops has been incorrect 98% of the time. We were on a recent weekend trip and not one of the restaurants out of 4 were where were we were directed. We spent over an hour driving around because we were going by the directions given by the Garmin. I had borrowed one from a friend a couple of months before I bought this one and it showed the "speed limit" on the roads, which this one does not. Just another reason I am thinking of sending it back. My son-in-law has another brand and it has been much more reliable. I would not recommend this item. Very Disappointed.

I am glad I purchased this product.

Was warned by a friend to make sure it announces street names for turns instead of just

telling you to turn. That is a great feature.

Since the price is coming down, it is a good buy but

if you can hold off buying one, these things may become obsolete

if your smart cell phone will do all this and more.

Newer models will let you know about traffic which this one does not do.

Then you will not have to worry about removing it from your

car each time you park.

However, when heading home I clicked on "Home" and it took us way way south of where we wanted to go. I don't know what happened to it and wonder if I can trust it in the future.
