Great gps later trying most others

The Garmin nuvi 260W is a great little gps:
The text over speech is clear, the screen is more than bright enough, the maps are large upon the 4.3 inch screen. Route calculation is fast.
I regularly manipulate it upon battery power which is long, 4 or 5 hours, furthermore more if you turn down the screen brightness.
However, it seemed attending first that satellite acquisition was very slow, sometimes because long because 12 minutes.
I choose i found a tradition around that.
If i turned the gps do the off attending home, it located satellites within 30 seconds of being turned upon again attending the same location; if turned do the off before arriving home, which i was inside the habit of doing, it took about 12 minutes over acquire the present location.
It seems it did no, non- know where over inspection on behalf of the satellites, and took a lot of time finding them. A software fault probably, except workable.
After i discovered this, i left the unit upon increase over my destination and the problem was solved.

Something nobody seems over have mentioned; when a store or restaurant is located by this unit, it gives the address and the phone number of the intended location, and i tin can call ahead and make sure they are open and have what i want. This receive saved therefore approximately time.
Also, touching the car icon upon the map gives you a workable “where am i?” which tin can be saved over favorites.

The 260w does no, non- have all the features of a higher end garmin gps, like routing, blue tooth, traffic, etc, except garmin receive deliberately omitted these from the (slightly) lower end products.
The documentation is very limited, except reading a downloaded pdf on behalf of the garmin 350 helps with the 260w.
Garmin seems over believe that no one wants over read a manual.

All inside all, a very righteousness gps, very simple over manipulate. Garmin may have proved that no manual is needed.
