Product Description
Garmin nuvi 265WT 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Bluetooth & Integrated Traffic Receiver.
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").
Integrated Traffic Receiver
Steer clear of traffic with an integrated GTM 20 FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. No subscriptions or additional hardware needed. Just open the box, turn it on, and get instant access to traffic information--the traffic updates are free for the life of the device.
All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.
Hands-Free Calling
In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. WIth Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker, you can match your nüvi to any Bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone.

 Support falls constantly September 3, 2009

I bought one of these for my wife 18 months ago and we are both sadly disappointed. There are two main problems: firstly, the support to hold it in place whilst you drive is very weak so it constantly falls, making driving dangerous. We replaced the stand but the same has happened again. In addition, the reception in cities is dire: it can't deal with tall bulidings, MAKING IT FAIRLY USELESS. You have been warned...
 Great, but....... June 14, 2009

I purchased the "Garmin Nuvi 265 to use around central southren Mississippi associated with business needs to find adresses. This "Garmin" seems to work well, however, it is not as accurate as my wife's. The "265" gets a little confused and takes a minute to get its position correct. My wifes does not have this problem. The "265" screen does not show as bright as my wife's. There does not seem to be a really good place on the windscreen that does not have glear. It is difficult to glance at the screen and relate to ones location. The screen must be looked at for a moment to see the screen well. I paid twice as much as I did when I bought my wifes, thinking I was getting something better. It is not and my wife will not trade me either. Next time I will do additional research and try one in my vehicle prior to purchase...it may not be the Garmin Nuvi 265WT.
 Great GPS! April 12, 2009

This is my first GPS system and I love it! I tried doing a lot of research before I made a purchase and basically I chose this one because it had a wide screen and free traffic reports. I just moved to LA and I couldn't live without it! A lot of roads and a lot of traffic. I have my Garmin set at the shortest time, so if there's a heavy traffic jam, the Garmin will automatically reroute me through a different direction. Hasn't happened too often but who knows in the future.
It's pretty accurate to say. The only problem I had was when I used it in NYC because I would accidentally miss a turn and by the time it recalculates, I missed the next suggested turn. But I guess that's to be expected in NYC with its small roads. I haven't had any issues in LA.
The Garmin also has a very extensive list of POIs which I use all the time.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone. However, I bought mine on another website for around $230 I believe. At the time I wrote this review, Amazon has it listed at $300. Don't know why it's so expensive here. That's probably the reason that I'm the only one that wrote a review.
