I got the Nuvi 260 from Amazon also. I paid $208 with free shipping a few months ago. I love it. I was shocked at what I could see on the sides of where I drove. I never new so much existed. I also love that you can just search for a craving. If you want KFC.... it can find it. If you want steak, it finds that too. I have driven all over Western NY with it from Cooperstown, Binghamton, Rochester, and Buffalo. I’ve even taken it canoeing to see how fast I could paddle.
Yet it didn't help you escape.
We look for attractions and things to do in places we've never been. Like browsing the 'net for something to do on vacation.
