Garmin 260W - Complaints / Reviews / Scam Reports
Faulty hardware and software

Garmin continues to make and sell units that have insufficient memory to hold maps. They also have failed to allow the addition of secondary memory, in this case, an SD card. to store map updates. In addition to the hardware design flaws, the updater software does not allow the user to install the second choice in needed maps such as both upper and lower eastern US maps. I chose one and when I turned on the unit, there were no maps and I could not acquire satellites. I have to go through this mess each time updates are required. Now the unit is once again useless as it was after the last update. The support people could not fix it without a great deal of checking and escalating. It's their product and they don't know how to fix their mess. This company is ripe for a class action lawsuit.
