I'm a pilot and I entrust my navigation to Garmin, specifically a GNS430, which is about $10,000 installed. This little guy is great for getting around in the car. I had a Garmin C340 until not too long ago, however, some thief thought it was better that he had it than me.

As far as using the device goes, it is absolutely easy to use. Telling it where you want to go on the QWERTY key display is much easier than on the C340's ABC key display. Points of interest are up to date and are very accurate. Though, I haven't tested it too much, but it has my grocery store and office, so I'm pretty good; as my primary use is for ETA rather than way-finding. You can directly enter co-ordinates into the Nuvi 260w, which is nice, when hunting down some silly thing a friend has sent you to find.

The only drawback is the suction cup mount. The old mounts had the power built into the cradle so you could take the unit out without disconnecting the power cord, which was handy. This on the other hand uses a mini-usb adapter which is plugged into the back of the device directly.

All in all, I'm secretly happy a thief came my way, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought this.
