Garmin nuvi 265WT GPS

LOVE IT!!

Posted 4 months ago - Have had my unit for about 6 months now and couldn't be happier with! Even the small backroads are on map so nav is easy. Gets me where I'm going and back again - absolutely no major complaints. Will replace with same if it ever dies. Traffic is a bit slow to warn but still works and allows you time to slow down when approaching. Bluetooth works amazingly well - keeps you handsfree; people having problems with speaker my have to change location so speaker is unobstructed. Mapquest directions sometimes lead you in circles - not Nuvi!! Highly recommend!

Garmin 265WT

Posted 1 year ago - I purchased this GPS unit a few weeks ago and it operates pretty well. The unit is fast and picks up traffic quick that's on route. I really don't have any problems with it other than sometimes the search time over broad POI takes some time. If you need a good GPS that has free Traffic that you don't have to pay for, then this is your unit.

nuvi 265WT

Posted 4 months ago - Hands free calling has been legislated and it is important that the Bluetooth capability be functional. The speaker distorts voices so badly they are hard to understand. No complaints on the other end of the line so the microphone must be OK. The NAVTEQ traffic control works well and almost justifies owning this device. Albeit, I will return for another GPS with similar features that I can understand when it speaks --.

Love it - but nothing is perfect

Posted 1 year ago - This is the best GPS I have used. In some ways I like the built-in vehicle GPSs since you dont need to shuffle this thing back and forth to your car and plug it in (due to theft possibility), but it is nice to be able to program your destinations on your couch before you go out. Despite shortcomings, Nuve 265wt is highly recommended.

Posted 1 year ago - Overall - It is a good buy. The shape is especially nice. It will fit in your shirt pocket. The Where to is an excellent feature as is the Waypoint feature.

gone to the dogs

Posted 5 months ago - All in all the unit is good as far as features but garmins quality control has gone to the dogs. Got me lost many times on a 4000 miles trip but it will eventually get you to your destination. Also froze up on me several times. would not recommend this unit to any one until they fix the kinks.

garmin nuvi265wt

Posted 1 year ago - I owned a streetpilot c330 prior and that was a great unit so i thought i'd upgrade to a NUVI 265 WT .I would like the unit if the maps were as good as the c330 which had never been updated even.the traffic thing might be a good thing but to test it i drove through some high traffic areas to test it and it said there was heavy traffic where there was none.and heavy barely rolling traffic with no indication.quite dissatisfied...

A GPS Loaded With Features

Posted 5 months ago - The Garmin nüvi 265WT is your basic GPS but loaded with features that are normally found in more expensive units. It works great right out of the box. On its main display, you can view your vehicle's speed, map of where you're going, arrival time, next turn, etc. The included bluetooth and traffic receiver are valuable add-ons that are costly when added to a unit. The traffic receiver is usually around $100 just for this one option! Only complaint with the unit is its mapping software update. It needs to be more current. For example, I found several movie theaters that closed 2 years earlier that are still listed as points of interest. Of course, if you just have to have the latest map, Garmin can accommodate you for the rip off price of $100. The nüvi 265WT is a real bargain in a GPS. Sure, you can buy a GPS for less money, but not with all the bells and whistles found in this one!

Don't buy if you're looking to add more maps

Posted 3 months ago - Bought this unit for N.America and Europe travel. Works OK in N. America. Bought the Euro maps ($99 more) but can't load them onto the unit. Follow the instructions but nothing happens. Dialog says it's successful but there are no Euro maps on my Garmin. Tech support useless.... ask a bunch of questions but no solution. Wasted my $99. Maybe TOMTOM is better.
