Product Description
Garmin's nüvi 260 combines the thin profile and attractive price point
of other nüvi 200-series GPS with directions in real street names. As
with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of
a high-sensitivity integrated receiver, a 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.
The
nüvi 260 comes preloaded with maps for U.S., Hawaii, Puerto Rico,
Alaska, Canada and features an ultra-slim design. | Text-To-Speech
The text-to-speech feature of the nüvi 260 means that device
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. Smart, Powerful Design
The
nüvi 260W is built with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for extreme
accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and
additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data. All
this is wrapped up in a package that measures 4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W
x H x D) and weighs just 6.6 ounces. The nüvi display is
touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your
fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five
hours of battery life depending on use. Garmin Lock
Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit
from performing any functions until the user types in a specific
4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location Navigate with Ease
The nüvi 260 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City
Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels,
restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to
enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and
turn-by-turn voice directions. In addition, the nüvi 260 accepts custom
points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and
lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
Easy To Use Interface
Garmin's
interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes
their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens
make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about
your trip.
Beyond Navigation
Browse your stored pictures with an easy-to-use JPEG viewer. |  |
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 260 features travel tools
including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones,
currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also
comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle
icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on
the map.
This device is compatible with optional content plug-ins available via SD card, such as the
Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide
provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby
merchants offering discounts, so you can customize nüvi for your travel
needs.
Garmin has also added the ability for customers to
add custom points of interest (POI’s) from third parties such as school
zones and safety cameras.
Trick Your GPS Ride
Custom vehicle icons let you ride in style, at least inside your GPS. |
Like all nüvis, the 260 supports configurable vehicle icons. These fun,
customized car-shaped icons come in a variety of colors to add a
personal touch to your vehicle's position on the map. With
this GPS system on board you'll be prepared to steer clear of traffic
with the integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. The nüvi 260W is designed
to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that
might lie ahead on your route. All you have to do is simply touch the
screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any
problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a
detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's
sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.
Note: Like most USB Mass Storage Devices, the nüvi is not compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me.
