Garmin 260w pedestrian mode? Does this model operate in a pedestrian mode?

There is pedestrian mode. My husband used this in NY city this past week to walk around town. I didn't ask for details but he seemed happy with its functionality.

I'm having the same problem with my Garmin 260W. I got mine from a seller on eBay and believe she knew she had a faulty device and just sold it that way. Any suggestions other than purchasing a new one, let me know. Thanks!

I'm sorry I can't help you. I never got it working. After an hour on the phone with Garmin they recommended that I return it, which I did. I went back to Polar.

AFAIK, only the 7x0 series and up have multi-point routing. The other Nuvi units allow for one waypoint to be added. Larry, if the 265wt has multi-point routing, it's the first I've heard about this.Edit: Larry, I just checked with some people on gpsreview.net and they agree with you. This is a undocumented feature. Thanks for your input!

Well I've got the 255W and have tried all of this stuff. It used to display the Garmin logo before turning off completely. Now it is just dead. Pressing any of the corners of the screen while sliding the powers witch for 8, 15, 30 , or even up to a minute. Does absolutely nothing. It has been charged with the provided car charger as well as a USB and still it is stone dead. Judging from my experience and the posts on this thread the 255 is a dud.

Does the Garmin 250 or 200 come with Street name announcements, or just "right & left turn now?" Is the voice annoying? Henry

Looking at the specifications, it appears that it does not have a camera mode. To be absolutely sure I would recommend you call Garmin and ask a technican there.

I don't know about the 1300 model, but I emailed the Garmin customer service folks and they were pretty responsive. The one thing I wish they had mentioned early on is that in order to update maps, I needed a microcable that plugged directly into the GPS unit, and not the cradle. So you may want to verify that with Garmin.

I have the same question. Garmin's version is 2013.10. Some reviews here were complaining about the maps being out of date. Could this be the reason this one is so cheap?

Sir , I have a Garmin 2597 LMT 5" inch Bluetooth portable , it has life time maps, traffics all the bells and whistles ,I picked mine up for a song only$167.00 + 12.19 shipping so, around $180.00. I am happy with mine! Don't know about 2577 models!

My guess is 255W speaks street names in North America version only. You can see it on www.garmin.com when you do side by side comparison.

I don't know. Mine died last fall. Less than a year old.customer support sucks! I have a Garmin unit now that works great. FYI: I also have a Calloway UPRO (dead!) It was only a few months old. So crappy they've abandoned it as a product. Needless to say, I've gotten some good stuff via Amazon Prime..,ALSO SOME CRAP!

I wondered about that too .. although I'd trust Garmin's website and other 3rd party discussion sites ... the ?70 units are built to contain maps for both continents, and the ?80 are the first one's with MSN Direct. Perhaps there'll be a future ?90 (390/690) range that combines the two sets of new features? :) For now, I'm just wondering whether tot ake the plunge with the 660 and its FMt raffic/preloaded POIs, or wait for the MSN-direct 680 to be released (April?)!

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this one. I purchased a new unit but can tell you that all of the user information and map updates are readily available on the Garmin internet site.

Yes, you can set it to pedestrian mode and it cuts through plazas and parks with ease. I've used it for walking in Europe and it's very good at it. Just be sure to set it back to driving when you get in the car or it will take you to impossible turns. Ask me how I know! :(
