Great Features and Easy to Use
»
I choose this GPS after researching different GPS systems and features on the major review websites. What I wanted was something easy to read and use and that I could use outside the US. The LARGE screen is great! The bluetooth is great, although I am not completely accurate in making some calls, some come through the GPS and some do not and I have to redial(need to read the booklet-I know). I like the free traffic for life, although we are not in one of the 50 major areas. However, I have noticed when I do get close to the major area 90 miles from here, the traffic information pops up.
OVERALL this is an excellent system-well worth the money!

Good deal for price... but NO advanced navigation
»
Bought the Nuvi 265WT because of good price for the features... Wanted Bluetooth and 'speak' mode - free FM traffic was a plus. Sorry that I overlooked the advanced navigation being missing - didn't realize that multi-leg routes were not allowed and some other features were missing that I had seen on a friends 660... especially ability to see next 3, 4 exits when on interstate highways - good feature for rest stops etc... Good unit, though - works well as do all Garmin products.

Excellent Purchase
»
The Garmin nuvi 265WT is the best GPS Navigator I have ever used. It is easy to use and it has several options that I have not seen on other navigators. It shows the speed limit for Interstates and Highways and even gives you information on delays, such as heavy traffic and construction zones. It is easy to add stops on your trip or to find attractions, food, gas stations, banks, hospitals, etc. You can search places nearest to where you are currently or you can look for them around your destination. This is, by far, the best purchase I have ever made!!!

Wrong Instruction Manual Sent
»
The nuvi garmin is great, but I have not been able to utilize the traffic feature as I was sent an instruction book for a unit that does not include the traffic feature. I have been unable to obtain the correct book to date, and wonder if the traffic transmitter even works!
