Or Best buy has the 260 for 250$ right now and you get the same system except with "text-to-speech".

I have the 250w but Im think of upgrading to the 260...

Bigger screen or TTS???????????????????

decisions,decisions.....

I’m not sure what the advantages of wide screen GPS are but I’d refer to the smaller display units.
First, most of the time, I don’t look much at the screen. I used more on the guided voice and TTS does help a lot, you don’t even need to look at the screen. You can't really look at the screen while driving anyway.
Second, units with a larger screen can obscure more view of the road. For driving safety, extra care needs to be taken in where to mount bigger units.
Also, I usually take the GPS with me when leaving the car. The smaller unit will fit well in my pocket.
