If you take a look at the information on this unit (just above the large matrix chart) you'll find a short paragraph entitled "What's in the Box". Here is a direct quote: "What's in the Box nvi 260W, preloaded City Navigator NT for the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, Alaska, and Canada, vehicle suction cup mount, vehicle power cable, dashboard disk, and set up and go guide."

You should have a cord that connects into the computer. This should have been included when you bought the garmin. I would go back to the company and tell them you need everything that comes the the garmin.

Please read my earlier post which explains why your unit is the 265WT if you received the FM traffic receiver cord with your device. When I turn on my garmin it shows 265W but it becomes the 265WT when the FM traffic cord is attached to the GPS.

I had a 260W and I can tell you the Navigation was much more accurate then the 255W. My 260W was wiped out by Garmin Tech Support and they replaced it with a new 260W. There is only one problem my New 260W they sent me happens to be loaded with 255W software. According to other post I have read on the internet this is happening to others as well.It seems that Garmin has decided to install 2X5 Software on there remaining 260 Models. The mapping has been changed on the 255 series and it is NOT as ACCURATE as the 260 series. The new features are nice additions but I wanted a GPS for NAVIGATION NOT FOR A NEW PLAY TOY. Garmin has had several unhappy customers recently and I would advise looking into other choices as of this point.Maybe someday Garmin will decide to get some knowledgable technical People and start making a good product again. Read the reviews on POI Factory.com website to get accurate product reviews with people who have these units and can tell you about the issues thay are having. Thanks

No. Nor does it come with a USB cable (which you will need to register the unit and download free firmware updates as well as map updates). I guess that is why it is so inexpensive (Garmin gets their money one way or another).

FYI: I ordered a Garmin 660 and received it today. When I registered the product, it offered me a free download of 2009 maps, which I am presently downloading (takes a long time, even with a fast connection).

Mine already had the 2010 maps preinstalled so I didn't try to update. A little off topic, but one thing that bothers me however is that the 765t I got is a bit inaccurate for my home address. My nuvi 260W is right on target for my home address while the 765t shows that I am about 800 ft away from my house. I tried it out on non-residential targets and the 260W was always right on target while the 765t was off about 50 to 200 ft. Not quite sure what the issue is but the 260W appears to have a more sensitve/accurate chip set.

I was able to get a hold of Amazon support by phone today. I was told the Nuvi 350 units being shipped have NT 2008 map in it. I asked about the v.5 mentioned on Amazon website and he did not know about that. He would check and have it corrected. According to him, Garmin will start shipping units with 2009 map in about a month, starting with the 200 series, 300's, and so on. Based on this, I plan to buy one now even with 2008 map. Again, he could not confirm about free update from Garmin. If I can get a free update, that's great. If not, I'm still happy since price had come down significantly

Garmin, here in Canada, has admitted the Nuvi 660 has a chronic antenna problem. My only solution is to have it replaced with a refurb unit at Garmin's Canadian tech contractor for $305.00That's a lot to spend on a $600 piece of technology only 14 months old.Shame on Garmin....and shame on me for making the purchase....

Hi Jill,Thank you so much for this information. I was set on returning my Mio C520 because it didn't say the street name but the specifications mentioned that it did TTS. In any event, I am now keeping it. I was thinking about the Nuvi 250W with less features and more money, but I like the MIO C520 for the price. Thanks again.

Yes. It was included in the one I purchased. Some I have seen don't include it, so read the ad. It's very nice because the transducer plugs directly into the GPS unit. You don't need the 'black box' like the older units.

dsrussell; do you think that there might be to many issues with the the nuvi 255w right now? The ( system software missing ) occurance seems to seems to be showing up more and more on these units. Thanks in advance any thoughts you have on this issue.
