Garmin nuvi(R) 260W

The Garmin nuvi(R) 260W Widescreen Navigation is a new GPS system with a unique twist on some outstanding features. This GPS device even speaks “street names”, so you know that has to be good.

In addition to features offered by other members of the nuvi 200 family, the nuvi 260W automatically calls out street names (saying “turn right on Main Street” instead of “turn right in 200 feet.”). This feature lets drivers keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy
traffic and tricky roadways. The nuvi 260W also sports a sunlight-readable 4.3-inch touchscreen display.

“The nuvi 260W gives consumers the most sought-after navigation features, while eliminating many of the premium add-ons,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. “The result is a PND that simply gets you from point A to point B — reliably, efficiently, and with
style.”

If you love taking a new look at an old problem, this Garmin nuvi 260W just might be for you.
