Details
NOTE: This item has been discontinued by Garmin. Try the nuvi 255W (click here) with a City Navigator Mexico card instead.
Vaya grande with the Garmin nuvi 260W Mexico that speaks street names. This widescreen navigator is attractively-priced and simple to use, plus it's loaded with maps for not only the United States and Canada but Mexico as well! Like the rest of the nuvi 200-series, you're just a few screen taps away from anywhere.
Navigate With Ease
nuvi 260W comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps for all of North America, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nuvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. In addition, nuvi 260W accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
Take It With You
Like the rest of the nuvi 200-series, nuvi 260W sports a sleek, slim design and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot.
Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nuvi 260W includes many travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. Optional plug-in SD cards let you add additional features. Pre-Order at T1ger GPS, where you can get them all.
