Garmin Nuvi 260



Today Garmin announced the new Nuvi 260 model: device with the function "text to speech", which is expected to arrive on the shelves at a very small price. The device fills the gap in the Nuvi 200 series is essentially the next step in the fight with strong competitors, offering a very high quality product for a reasonable amount. The main rival of the novelty is likely to be the Nuvi 350, which is still a very popular Navigator, humble despite his age, his price is about 365 dollars.

For Nuvi 260 manufacturer's suggested retail price is $ 499, which, naturally, does not go to any comparison with the price (with many discounts) on the Nuvi 350. Although at first it might seem that the cost of Nuvi 260 and Nuvi 350 will be relatively the same, especially considering that the online prices on Nuvi 250 (North American maps and no function "text to speech") fluctuate below $ 300.

The novelty will appreciate the presence of maps of North America, 6 million POIs, and everything you need to easily dock the Navigator on the windshield of the car.

Some excerpts from the official press release:



Like other models in the 200 line, the nuvi 260 offers all the conveniences of embedded systems of premium class at an attractive price. Unlike other 200-x devices, the novelty is able to pronounce the names of the travelled streets (e.g. "Turn right on the Projected travel" instead of "Turn right in 100 meters"). This feature helps the driver concentrate better on the road and not be distracted by looking at maps.
The Nuvi 260 includes a built-in gps antenna, so it looks very compact, and very easy to install in the car. Special "hot" button on the welcome screen allow the driver to quickly find a specific street or building or even to set a goal for a certain category. In the case of missing the right turn Navigator will automatically rebuild the route to return to the planned path, uttering the names of all of the nearby streets. In the nuvi 260 will be pre-installed maps of USA, Canada and Puerto Rico, as well as about 6 million POIs.

In addition to the navigational virtues of the product and has functions of image viewer, calculator, currency Converter and units measurements and world time. For greater security the device has a patented feature is the Garmin Lock, which will not allow to use the Navigator without entering 4-digit pin code or not being in "key" location.
The only button on the device is on/off, all the rest of the place was given a 3.5-inch touchscreen: nothing more. Of course, not forgotten, and a slot for SD cards.

It is expected that the nuvi 260 will appear in August 2007 for a suggested price in 499,99$. Included are mount, car charger and user manual.

This small Toolkit collected some useful queries that give some idea about how to use this "hidden knowledge", which constantly accumulates. These queries can be used to monitor the status of PostgreSQL (manually or with plugins for monitoring systems like Nagios, Cacti or Zabbix), to search for bottlenecks in the server and many other similar tasks. Remember that this is only the tip of the iceberg; in the documentation you can find descriptions of several dozen system ideas that can also be useful for the PostgreSQL administrator.
