Garmin Nuvi 260Whether you follow technology or not, you probably always hear about new gadgets upgrading.  This is so true, especially when it comes to GPS systems. They always seem to be upgrading into better and more intricate systems.

The company, Garmin, comes out with its new Nuvi 260, the first in its class to come with text-to-speech ability. This means while driving, the Nuvi 260 will call out turn by turn directions as well as street names so you can keep your eyes on the road. Other than that, it basically comes with all the other features the other Nuvi’s come with, a 3.5 inch touchscreen and pre-loaded maps of the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Expect the Nuvi 260 to hit the market sometime in August costing around $499.99.
