Garmin today announced a new wider version of the Nuvi 260, called Nuvi 260W. Nuvi 260W will have very similar features to the older 260 such as the text-to-speech, but will have a screen that measures 4.3″.

The rest of the features for 260W are same as the 200 series such as turn-by-turn, voice-prompted directions, preloaded maps of U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico and over 6 million POIs.

Other not-so-important features include picture viewer, calculator, currency converter, unit converter and world clock. In the box you’ll find the vehicle suction cup mount, car charger, dashboard disk, and the user manual.

The new ‘budget’ 260W will cost about $400. But keep in mind the MSRP from Garmin is usually very high; specially if you wait 2 - 3 months you can probably get it for $100 cheaper.
