Hi I have read alot of articles about GPS so I want to tell you a story , I am from a small town in Canada 2000 people . I am in Ottawa Ontario and have got lost evertime I drive somewhere. I went and bought a Nuvi 260 and 30 minutes later I was working it and it is GREAT I can go anywhere all I do is enter the address and it tells me where to go , the voice is clear I love it . tommorrow I am going to try it in a walking mode.
