No USB cable???,July 15, 2008
By Petefrom Central New York State
"The unit is easy to use and works very well. My only complaint is the lack of a USB cable packaged with the unit. To register the product, you have to connect it to your PC. If that was a requirement, they should have included the cable."

Simply The Best,May 20, 2008
By bearclaw21from Olney, Maryland
"After researching and reading many reviews I purchased the Garmin Nuvi 260. What a great device. Very easy to use. You never have to take your eyes off of the road as the unit speaks the name of upcoming roads where you have to turn well ahead of time and then again when you get close. This is very helpful when you have to make your next turn or when a exit ramp is coming up. This helps to make sure you are in the correct lane before you get to the ramp. Exit ramps can either be on the left or right. Other features I like are it tells you the amount of time it will take you to arrive at your destination (last trip I was within 2 minutes of arrival time) and it also let's you know how many miles until your next turn. It also recalulates a route if you have to take a detour. I did purchase a weighed pad that I can put my GPS unit on and I have it on my dashboard. It's easy to reach and doesn't move even if I make a sharp turn. Plus I can move it from car to car or take it in when not in use. And there are no suction marks on my windshield. All in all this is the best GPS unit purchase I have ever made. I am thinking about buying one for my wife and daughter. A must for every vehicle."

Best Purchase for the price,March 7, 2008
By FishOnMarplefrom MI
"This is an awesome product. It's easy to follow and it recalculates if you have to take a detour. We've used this to get to fishing tournaments in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. I trust this map like it was being read out of a map book."

Great product,March 5, 2008
By pathfinderF7from Fayetteville, NC
"This product is easy to use right out of the box. You can search for a location or business quite easily with the unit's search function, many are already programmed into it from the factory. The suction cup mount that comes with it works great and is easy to install and remove. You can adjust the volume and the zoom. The maps are very accurate and voice prompts give you plenty of time to switch lanes. My wife and I love this product."
