Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I received the nuvi 260 today. It was every bit as I expected. Not a scratch on it, protective film over the touch screen. I powered it up, connected it to my laptop and went through the registration process. In doing so, Garmin pushed the updated software to the unit. It also came with 2009 maps. I then took it out for a test drive and it performed flawlessly. It says refurbished product, but it looks and acts like new. No regrets here, I would buy a Garmin refurbished unit again. I saved lots of money vs a new product.
