Comments about Garmin Garmin Nuvi 260W GPS Navigation System:

I am still trying to figure out the features. The booklet is very sparse so seems to be more of a "keep trying you will find it" motive. Takes a long time to find satelites around my neighborhood. Can't wait to go on a trip and use in place of a map.
