Good unit for the price Spent a weekend reviewing various GPS devices to replace my less than 1 year old Mio C320 (avoid these like the plague) that had its battery die about 4 months after purchase. Went back and forth along the entire line of Garmin devices, and finally settled on this one for the blue tooth and traffic, neither of which I'll probably hardly ever use, but nice to have when I want them.
I was disappointed with the map, the "new" 2009 one, because I have some streets in my neighborhood th...

Awesome Bought this Nuvi 1 week before Christmas and had to drive from Dallas TX to NJ. I have Microsoft Streets and Trips on my computer and the Nuvi actually took us a better and quicker route. It was awesome. Just plugged in the address and hit GO! It was sooooo easy to operate graphics were easy to read directions were right on and never lost satellite. This is my first GPS and would highly recommend it.

Best GPS I have ever Owned I have owned quite a few GPS units all including Phone, Laptop and Dedicated. Flat out before I even get started the Garmin Nuvi 265WT is the best I have ever owned. Let me just make a couple of comments on the most important features.
Touch Screen Interface
Very intuitive and easy to use. Touch screen is responsive but not instantaneous. What I particularly like is the ability to switch to a top down view by touching the screen. Once done you can use your finger to drag th...

Impressed! After doing extensive research I decided on this unit. Mainly because the 265wt is one of their newer NUVI products and it had the features I was looking for. If you look at the sites that have reviews on the 265wt, most are from nov/2008. I think this unit was released about 6 months ago. Anyway, here's my opinion on some of the key features of the 255WT.
1. Windsheild mount - works great. The suction cup is very high quality and I have no concerns that it will accidentally detach ...

Best GPS for the $$$ Without a doubt best GPS for the money. It was definitely worth spending the money to get a GPS with the traffic receiver. The ads which pay for the free traffic service are not intrusive and do not interfere with the use of the device. My one dissappointment is the notification of upcoming turns is a bit short and should be longer.

This rocks! I waited waited and waited to buy a Nuvi. Glad I did. I bought it on BlackFriday for $250.00 and well worth the wait. The unit is dead on accurate. I live in a very rural area in Maine and its database is right on. Only neg thing is when using a bluetooth phone sometimes the speaker does not work. I am going to exchange it. Ruled out my phone as a possible culprit. Other than that this unit rocks!

EXCELLENT GPS ! This is one of the newest garmin units and it performs well. I liked the speed limit sign and current speed displayed on the main page as you navigate. This is an excellent feature and can save you from a speeding ticket by keeping you advised of changes in the speeding limits as you travel. Navigation is just about flawless. The 265WT is an excellent buy
with significant improvements over earlier nuvi models.

Great GPS with advanced functionality The 265WT is (literally) THE way to go! It's an easy-to-use GPS. It has voice turn-by-turn instructions (including street names), free FM traffic for life!, and hands-free Bluetooth capability. The graphics are great too. The antenna is built in and very sensitive.
The FM traffic is a great feature, and unlike other models, it's free for life with the 265WT. While commuting, I can easily see where traffic is congested or stopped, and my Nuvi 265WT routes me around it. Isn't tech...

I Love It I went from a TomTom One XL to the Nuvi and there is no comparision. I love the Nuvi. Easy to useand it tells you exactly where your going and I like the little car instead of an arrow. Overall a really sweet unit.
