This is the base model Nuvi at its lowest price to date!
It is a great GPS (Very fast satellite lock, ultra-slim and lightweight design, great touchscreen user interface and points of interest, excellent battery life) but it only has built-in maps of the US48, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and it lacks text-to-speech, so it will only say aloud “turn right in 500 feet” instead of “turn right onto Main Street in 500 feet”
If you want maps of Canada or Alaska and text-to-speech then spend the extra $80 and get the Nuvi 260 which is also at a bargain price today!
You’ve got a point. I should know by now not to dought you. Thanks.
Buy.com wants $279 for the nuvi 260, almost $50 more than Amazon.
The 219 price is from a 3rd party (Electronics Expo) and I don’t believe the credit card will take $50 off that.
The reason for customer service would be if you weren’t happy with your unit or the price went down, etc.
Dan, sorry I wasn’t clear before the nuvi 260 is 219 before the credit card compared to amazon’s 235. also in this case do I really care about customer service
Are you serious???
You think it makes more sense to open a credit card and still pay more from a company with terrible customer service than just buying it in the first place for less money from amazon???
Would it be better to buy this at buy.com (around 219 minus 50 if you sign up for their credit card) or is there a reason to buy it at amazon. thank you
