 Garmin nuevi 265W/265WT 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic September 3, 2010
Sim_Perf (Chicago, IL USA)
I bought this product as I was planning for my road trip to Canada. This product was very useful during my trip. As I was travelling with little one, I have to make some unscheduled stops but GPS was able to put me back on track without any mistake.
Free traffic information was useful but not accurate enough. Now having so many free traffic information websites and resources available, there is definitely room for improvement in that area.
Routing overall takes you to the destination but sometime those are questionable. Bottom line I did not get lost may have burned more gas :-) It could be good to have a feature where you can navigate the whole route map. As of now you can zoom in and out.
Overall, this product is user friendly, easy to configure, POI works great. It is very easy to mount on windshield. Traffic information is good to have. Re-routing calculation is fast and quick. I like this product by having the peace of mind, no matter were you are going.
Good value for the Money September 2, 2010

Got the 265WT two weeks ago. It worked well on my road trip to Maine. Picked up satellites quickly. Routing was fairly quick and traffic information was helpful. One issue involves updating the information on the points of interest function. We found a few of the points of interest were either closed or no longer exist. After my purchase I did see that Garmin started providing the traffic function on one of the lower models (255, I believe) and would have considered that model if I had seen it at that time which is 20 - 30 dollars cheaper.
Nuvi is great September 1, 2010

For general use, Nuvi is great. The traffic is not super accurate, but you can't expect it to know about a crash within 5 minutes of it occuring. But the yellow, orange, and red color coding is a bit inconsistant in the metro Atlanta area.
The screen can be hard to see in harsh sunlight and also with polorized sunglasses.
 love it September 1, 2010

I live in the DFW metroplex, and this thing will route me around traffic. This has saved me HOURS by routing me around wrecks. I love this thing.
Simply the best GPS that I have August 31, 2010

We have two 265t and like them over my other GPSs by different brands. Now, I got the 265wt with a larger 4.3 lcd for my wife. She really likes and enjoys using it. These Garmin 265's are simply the best GPS at this price.
