They should fire the head of marketing; this is horizontal market segmentation to the point of annoying. I have owned several GPSs, including a Garmin when they first came out. They should choose, low, middle and high-end and not everything in between. When you have so many models it confuses the consumer. This is why Apple is so great; when I look at a notebook, I have mac-book (low), mac-book pro (performance) and mac-book air (ultra-compact). Please Garmin, take some lessons from Apple.</p> Great post! They should fire the head of marketing; this is horizontal market segmentation to the point of annoying.

You would think the 750 model would be nicer than the 265, but really it’s just a minor choice of features. Bottom line, too many Nuvi’s (oh, sorry.. Nuvi®)
