Garmin has added a great addition to its 200
series gps navigation devices with the Garmin Nuvi 260W 4.3-inch widescreen
portable GPS navigator device. The Nuvi
260 features the new ultra slim design and comes pre-loaded
with maps for the continental United States,
Hawaii, Puerto rice, AK and Canada. If you
where frustrated in the past with the small screen, then you will love the 4.3
inch backlit widescreen. This screen offers 70% more actual screen area than
the 3.5 inch screen which will give you a better view of the area you are
driving through. This is very helpful because it can now show you parks,
restaurants, gas stations and many other places that are nearby and it can also
let you know if taking that detour is a good idea. One last thing about the 4.3
inch widescreen is that the controls on the screen are spaced out more, which
makes it easier to push the buttons. Especially when you’re pushing the buttons
and trying to drive at the same time. This Nuvi
260w also has a great feature called text to speech. With this
technology the Nuvi gps device automatically calls out the street names, which
allows the driver to pay attention to the road instead of the gps device when
driving. A great feature that will get you to your destination quickly and
safely. If you simply want to get from point A to point B in a reliable and
efficient manor then the Garmin 260w is the gps device to look at. The Nuvi
260W gives consumers the most sought-after navigation features, while
eliminating many of the premium add-ons. All Nuvi gps devices come with Garmin
reliability and fast satellite lock. This slim, pocket-sized navigator with a
gorgeous display, detailed NAVTEQ maps that lets you search by name for more
than 6 million points of interest like stores, restaurants or hospitals, and an
easy, intuitive interface is great for all types of travelers.
