Great first GPS
After much research and deciding rather I really needed a GPS I bought the Nuvi 260W. I knew I wanted the wide screen and street name announce, other than that my needs were pretty basic. The 260W fits the bill. Power it up out of the box and you're ready to go. The on-screen prompts are simple to follow.

This little device makes driving to unfamiliar destinations a breeze...no more trying to follow a map or printed directions, especially at night. I also purchased the Friction-mount which makes it easy to put the GPS out of view with no suction mark on the windshield when parked in a public area.

Don't forget the one-time free map/GPS upgrade, I don't think it was well advertised in the paperwork. I learned about it reading the reviews and specifically looked for the upgrade after registering. Mine came loaded with 2007 maps so I'm sure there have been quite a few changes.

GPS Garmin
It is the best. I can't imagine getting by without it now that I am used to it. For people who have to go places where they are not familiar it helps immensely. It is much better than Mapquest because if you take a wrong turn it corrects your error. The only problem is that it once took me to an address a few blocks away, but that problem is rare I would think. It tells you how far you have to go and how long it will take. I recommend it .

An amazing Guide!
I haven't had it very long, but I am amazed at how accurate my Garmin 260 is. I'm really looking forward to using it a lot more this summer.
I don't think you could go wrong buying this Idem.

gps review
The Nuvi 260 is easy to use and a wonderful tool for finding
what's in the area, addresses to stores, restaurants and attractions.

It works well.

Garmin GPS System
Really like this Garmin - it is easy to program and has been accurate so far. Occasionally in areas that I am familar with it will take me a different route, but then, I'm using a short cut and wouldn't expect the Garmin to do that. Overall performance is great.

Flip Ulta Series Camcorder
Pretty easy to use. Don't turn the camera sideways to film. Pain to download to save to computer...The size makes it very easy for traveling. It does an hour worth of taping. Surprised how well it works in low lighting. Sound is pretty good also. Great cheap camcorder for just around the house and party type events.

THIS THING NEVER WORKED
Flip sent me 3 camcorders, none would record when I pressed the red record button. Amazon ( a great company) finally had to return my money. Flip refused to send me a refund. Thanks to Amazon I got my money back. I would not use a flip if they gave me one.

Fun for travel
I took this with me on a trip to Europe last year and it worked great! The picture quality and sound are pretty good, but I wish it had been a tad smaller. (Note - there is a smaller version Flip Mino Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Black), but the Ultra was recommended to me as having better quality.)

Solid product, but build quality could be much better
Video Quality: Obviously, a big factor that people worry about is video quality. The video quality of this camera is pretty nice, especially for the price that I paid. However, it is a bit washed out (especially indoors). 36/40

Audio Quality: The mic on this is also pretty nice, but it is a bit muffled. The mic on this is also pretty prone to wind noise. All else considered, the audio is still fairly crisp and clear. 17/20

Memory: While memory consumption is extremely efficient on this camera, better than you would find on most digital cameras that shoot in standard definition, the memory is completely non-expandable. The memory expandability is a pretty big factor when you only have a fairly limited amount of memory to work with. 14/20

Durability: Upon first impression, this camera does NOT feel very well built. Not to mention that it broke after a fall from chest height. 6/20

Features: This camera has what you need, but the zoom sucks (2x optical) and the features are very basic (no macro). 5/10

Portability: This camera is reasonably portable, it will fit in most pockets, but it is slightly bigger than your average digital camera. 8.5/10

Battery: The battery life on this is pretty nice, you will rarely have to change batteries, but the fact that this uses AA batteries is a slight negative point; however, on field replacement can be seen as an advantage. 9/10

Aesthetics: It's not an eyesore to look at, but its Fisher Price-like look isn't necessarily attractive. 2.5/10

Overall: 73% (3.5/5)

Summary: Overall, this is a good product for freelance videographers. However, I would not recommend it for anybody else or if you need a camera that can take abuse. If you need a product like this but with better build quality, I would suggest the similarly priced Kodak Zi6, which shoots in 720p HD.

FLIP VIDEO DOES NOT LAST LONG
At first I loved my FLIP upon receiving it as a Christmas gift in 2008 - not even one year ago. Went to use it recently and the camera is FROZEN - this must happen often because it is on the Q and A of frequently asked questions. I email the support staff at FLIP and they instructed me to remove all batteries from camera for 48 - 72 to see if Camera would automatically reset. Batteries have been out for a little over 72 hours, camera still frozen. FLIP support told me that because it is over 90 days ther is nothing they can do. This viedo camera, although small and portable, is nothing more than a disposable video camera that won't last long. I personally feel whenyou buy something like this the expectation is that it will last a few years at least. Would not recommend.
