Amazingly Accurate
I bought the GARMIN nüvi 260W to help with work and family travels. After extensive research with Magellan, Mio and Tom-Tom, I bought the Garmin for three reasons. 1) Ease of use. 2) Screen clarity. 3) Amazing accuracy. And no, despite where I live, I have no affiliation with Garmin. I don't even know anyone that works for them. I am in the architectural business.
I have tried several GPSs while traveling with business associates, friends or in rental cars. As such, I have seen them in real world action. All of the devices saved me time and most found the place I needed to be. I could used any of them and been somewhat satisfied.The problem: I am a perfectionist. As such, I want the unit to be the best. So, after using a text-to-speech Garmin GPS unit earlier this year, I knew that was one feature I could not live without when I pulled the trigger on a purchase. Text-to-speech is a must have on GPS. A MUST. If you have never used a GPS, trust me, you have to have...

Problems with Satellite Acquisition and other Issues
I received the Garmin Nuvi 260W as a gift. I have subsequently read comments about many different GPS units and have concluded that:
-a hand held GPS is a complement to, not a substitute for a good road map and some common sense. All GPS units have positives and negatives; none are absolutely perfect. These are not toys, but they are not self sufficient navigational tools either. Given enough time, every owner of every unit will have a story about how he couldn't find a particular point of interest, or was directed down a dead end street or across a 4-lane divided highway!
-considering screen sharpness, ease of use and other features, the Garmin 260W is one of the best in its price class.
-Garmin also has the best customer service of any of the companies.
The purpose of this review is NOT to repeat what others have written but to discuss workarounds for the various limitations of this unit.

Very happy but some Nuvi glitches
I've used this product for several trips and I've never used another GPS. I love the text-to-speech feature, which is very natural; the instructions are usually very clear, but it is worth glancing at the green bar at the top of the screen to see the full instruction. The map with the graphics can often clear up confusion. The other great thing about the map is it labels upcoming streets so you are not peering at street signs.
I purchased the friction mount, which is great because I can take it off my dash and put it under the seat very easily. Around here, there have been a lot of break ins of cars with suction marks on the windshield.
A couple of glitches so far:
1. The Nuvi did not know the street that I was headed to in West Virginia.
2. Once in West Virginia in the mountains, the Nuvi could not pick up a satellite signal.
3. Out on a road trip, I stopped at a restaurant. I restarted my car and turned the Nuvi on...
