Feb 18, 2008 - The Nuvi 260 has text to speech.

Feb 18, 2008 - yes it does, certain messages are not perfect like I 90 would be I nine... missing the OH or TY but at least you can keep your eyes on a road butstill not 100% trusted.

Feb 19, 2008 - does it worth the money to get a wider screen "w" instead of a 250? And is there any other difference in terms of functions between these two? Thanks in advance~ thinking of purchasing my first GPS

Mar 30, 2008 - How do routes work from Mapsource?
scalespeeder Says:
Mar 30, 2008 - You can't use mapsource to input routes.
scalespeeder Says:
Mar 30, 2008 - It's bright enough in normal conddition, but if you're driving towards a low sun you'll have trouble seeing any GPS display.
scalespeeder Says:
Mar 30, 2008 - If you have large fingers the W version helps, otherwise it doesn't make much difference.
pf126p Says:
Mar 30, 2008 - Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking more when the sun shines on the screen. (For instance, my iPod is good in the sun, but I can hardly see anything in broad daylight on the iBook.) I wouldn't want to be constantly cupping my hand over the display and leaning in...

Mar 30, 2008 - Another question I have pertains to the maps. I do travel between North America and Europe, and with my car (see my vids) at that. How region-specific are the units and how feasible is it to localize? Can I have the US and EU maps loaded simultaneously?Similarly, for how far east can I count on map data? Poland? Thanks so much.

Apr 1, 2008 - Buy a Garmin Nuvi 270, it comes with Europe and the USA maps.Poland is covered, and other major cities in Eastern Europe.

Oct 4, 2008 - Does anyone know if there are any monthly payments or anything on GPS devices?
jimboychoi Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - No, theres no cost at all.... it connects directly to the satellite.. its not like a mobile phone that you have to pay credit from your phone in order to use the gps capabilities.
