Published on August 6th, 2007 in garmin, gps navigation
Garmin just announced a new entry level GPS navigation system called nuvi 260 that is supposed to hit the stores this month and cost only! $500. The 260 differs from the other 200 series buy only adding the text-to-speech functionality. The rest of the specs are standard with a 3.5″ touch screen, maps of North America (United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico) and six million POIs. We don’t have any info on the battery but if it just like the others you’ll be able to get 5 hours of life out of it.
Nuvi 260 also includes a built-in picture viewer, calculator, currency converter, unit converter and world clock. The SD slot for memory expansion is a good idea but this $500 navigation system does not even include a simple MP3 player!!!
For a real budget GPS navigation system check out our gps navigation systems for $200 or less article which we update as much as we can. But if you must go with a Garmin nuvi you can also refer to our “which nuvi to buy?” article.

What a joke. $500 for this. Give me a break. I’d rather give the TomTom 720 a chance for $500.
