Garmin nuvi 260 GPS and Garmin nuvi 260W reviews and ratingsThe Garmin nuvi 260 GPS and the Garmin nuvi 260W portable GPS reviews found that both models offer the same features. The difference between the Garmin nuvi 260 GPS and the Nuvi 260W is the screen size, resolution and weight. Most everyone appreciated the wider screen of the Garmin nuvi 260W. The Garmin nuvi 260 is the first of the 3.5" units to have the "text to speech" feature. This is a very desirable feature if you are uncomfortable taking your eyes off the road to glance at the map. Other attractive features include ease of use and good navigation. Although these units include only the basic features, both the Garmin nuvi 260 GPS and the Nuvi 260W are rated the best portable GPS units of Garmin's budget series. The features are identical to those of the Nuvi 250 except for the addition of the text to speech feature. It should be noted that Garmin has discontinued this unit in 2009.
