Yet again another great and satisfying purchase I have made from garmin, the nuvi 270 is the third unit I have bought from them and the first from the Nuvi ‘pocket-sized’ versions. The market it as a simple entry level model, but if you are a first time buyer or a veteran alike, you know that any gps system from this company is anything but value orientated and you always get more then yours money worth in the long run, which I guess is a major reason for the explosion and popularity of the Nuvi gps systems in vehicles these days compared to just 1 year ago.
Things to be aware of before buying the garmin nuvi 270 gps over others is a) there is no included documents or manual in the box, you can download and online version – however most people wont even need a manual to get started and using their garmin 270 if you have any sort of electronic comprehension. Other things like an apparent lack of ability to disable rerouting when you miss turns, and lesser quality voice prompts then on my other gps systems are things to be aware of.
