Reviews of the Garmin Nuvi 260

CNET Review
The Good: The Garmin Nuvi 260 boasts a compact design and is easy to use. It offers accurate directions and some nice tools for the traveler. The Nuvi 260's text-to-speech reads street and POI names aloud.
The Bad: Though the Nuvi 260 is more affordable than other models in the series, we wish the price was slightly lower based on the included feature set.
The Bottom Line: The Garmin Nuvi 260 offers drivers and travelers a more budget-friendly version of the popular portable navigation devices and includes text-to-speech, but we think the price is still slightly high for what you get.
