I started looking into getting a portable GPS a few weeks ago. I soon learned that there are a whole array of models available and it seems the number of manufacturers keeps increasing almost daily. To say the least, there are a bountiful number of good GPS devices currently available for purchase. Most all are discounted, some considerably. I finally settled on the Garmin Nuvi 260. It has text to speech and was reasonably priced. Most of the reviews that I read were favorable and the negative comments weren't deal breakers - not for our usage.
We've had it about a week now and it has come in handy on a couple of occasions. Today it was useful for finding a business that we thought we knew the location, but subsequently found out that we were off by a mile or so. The GPS put us on track and got us to our appointment on time.
Next month I plan to take the Nuvi 260 with me to Portland, Oregon. I've never been to Portland and the auto rental company that I use doesn't offer the option to rent a navigation device. The Oregon trip should provide a thorough test of it's capabilities. You can see a picture of the Garmin Nuvi 260 to the right and at the bottom of the blog page.
