Buy a better one
This is the 2nd unit I've received and it isn't working much better than the 1st that was replaced. It takes up to 10 minutes to 'locate satellites', well after you're already on the road. I've tried sitting in the driveway WAITING for it to gain it's bearings and it doesn't make any difference. I have a clear sky view (i.e., no building obstructions, not under a bridge or in a parking garage, etc.). I bought a nuvi 750 that works MUCH better and acquires satellites in <30 seconds. Either the nuvi 260W is a defective design, OR I am a lucky sole that has received two flakey nuvi 260W's in a row.

Great Support
First I love my new GPS. It even showed an address that Google and Yahoo Maps did not have. But what impressed me most was the technical service from Garmin. I was having problems getting my unit to connect to my computer. I ended calling Garmin Technical Support and we found the cable to connect was not working. Lucky I had another cable from my camera that worked. Once connected, Garmin Tech Support walked me thru all the procedures to allow me the full use of my unit. Thanks again the Garmin Tech Support ... You're the greatest.
