GPS Garmin Nuvi265W
Garmin 265 in real world
 
Review Date: July 29, 2010
Reviewer: DrMark, CA, USA
Bought this Garmin a month ago mainly on the good reviews it had received and the reasonable price. Took it on a trip to the Bay area, CA. Overall, it performed well. The initial satellite acquisition in a new area takes longer than normal but that's to be expected. Subsequent acquisitions were fast. As far as the routes, except for one hiccup where it kept trying to exit on a non-existent exit on the highway, it performed OK. I noticed though occasionally it went "crazy" going around loops and so forth. Best to re-start the route calculations in those situations. The maps are fairly up to date. The traffic worked OK in one situation but for the most part, it's not the feature I would base my purchase on. For people who rely on reviews, having read dozens of them on various GPS devices, you will not find one with a perfect score. There's no such thing as a perfect GPS at any price with the current state of technology. Even with the "best" one purchased, one should not blindly follow the instructions. Commonsense should be exercised as to where the GPS is sending you. For the money, Garmin 265WT is an adequate unit.

Garmin nüvi 265W


Garmin's nüvi 265WT improves upon its 200-series predecessors by adding free real-time traffic updates from Navteq (for the life of the device) as well as Bluetooth connectivity to your cell phone. Other significant improvements in the 2x5 series include a predictive technology that provides faster satellite lock, a redesigned screen with more information, terrain maps, and an exciting new photo navigation feature. The 265WT provides complete maps for North America and the handy Text-to-Speech feature, so you get turn-by-turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. "turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way", rather than merely "turn left in 50 feet").

The nüvi 2x5 models all sport the slim design that Garmin introduced with the 200-series last year, so they all fit comfortably in your pocket or purse, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that makes them convenient for navigation by car or foot. All of the models include useful travel tools like a JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. The 265WT also offers a wide 4.3-inch (diagonal) screen that displays 70% more of the road around you.
