I would buy this product again

"Wonderful product. Very useful for finding places...like hole-in-the-wall restaurants that have been recommended by friends. The Garmin 260 has the ability to choose the fastest route or the most direct route. Would encourage the other user who was having difficulties with the route to check his/preferences settings. I would purchase this product again...." Read Full Review »
