Garmin Nuvi 260 and 255w Reviews?
Hi. I am interested in purchasing a GPS for my car and to carry around when I’m not the driver. The two I have in mind and from Garmin. The first one is the Garmin Nuvi 260 http://shop1.frys.com/product/5489249;jsessionid=19cRLqWgv9Hf0wN1fabtLw**.node3?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
The second one is the Garmin Nuvi 255w http://shop1.frys.com/product/5567570;jsessionid=g4zAHAkdwvlTTtqNn3b8cQ**.node3?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
For those of you who know something about GPS systems, which is better or which ones have you used and had positive/negative experiences with? Also what does the “w” at the end stand for? There is a $50 difference in price. I was told by the sales associate that the 255w is a newer model. But I have read around that the sound quality isn’t as great as the older model. The one I was going to buy is 3.5” so if anyone has any suggestions please help. Thanks.
The 255 that i own is great, no complaints about it. The major difference between the two is the updated map. If you’re someone who travels a lot you might want to invest in the newer version. You can go onto the Garmin website and click on the products you want to compare and they show you a very detailed chart with the products side by side so you can actually take a look at where they differ. The W is for wide screen. Usually more money, but since you’re looking for a 3.5, you can go without the W. The sound quality of my 255 isn’t that bad, you get to choose the voice you want; although the voice doesn’t sound as human as the older versions, it’s not that bad. It’s a trade-off. You get better features, but you lack the human sound (it’s a bit more robotic)
Hope I answered your question!
