Garmin Nuvi 265WT

The Garmin Nuvi 265WT offers integrated Bluetooth and a lifetime of free traffic alerts. The portable GPS also has a spacious touch screen and text-to-speech functionality

We wish the audible traffic alerts and route recalculations were a little faster. Call quality was mixed

Despite some minor performance issues, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT is a good value GPS, offering a number of high-end features for an affordable price.

Design The Garmin Nuvi 265WT looks like the latest Nuvi models, which is a good thing since we like its slim and simple design. The Garmin Nuvi family of portable navigation devices (PNDs) is growing constantly, and the GPS manufacturer has added...

Garmin Nuvi 265WT

By Joe Eitel

GPS devices are finally coming down in price. Does that mean you have to give up functionality? Not if the Garmin Nuvi 265WT is any indication. Keep reading for a closer look at this relatively low-priced device; you'll be surprised at how well it ...

Developed as a flagship model for the Nuvi 2x5 line, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT was meant to wow consumers with its price and functionality. Sure, it's not the cheapest system out there, but which is better… paying $100 for a device that's crap, or paying ...

Garmin nuvi 265T

By Craig Ellison

Award: Editor's Choice!

Given the current state of the economy, not everyone has the budget to spring for a GPS device. Fortunately, last fall Garmin revamped both its entry-level nüvis in the 200 series as well as its midlevel offerings in the 700 series. I took a look at ...

Includes maps for the U.S. and Canada. Text-to-speech. Lifetime free traffic. ecoRoute feature can save you money on gasoline

No multisegment routing or Lane Assist. Bluetooth interface didn't read contacts/call history

The Garmin nüvi 265T offers a lot of bang for the buck, including free traffic updates and features for smart spenders.

The Garmin nüvi 265T offers the Garmin navigation experience at an affordable price. And given Garmin's history, it's not surprising that its entry-level nüvis, like the $219.99 (list) nüvi 265T, offer a lot of bang for the buck and are excellent...

Garmin Nuvi 265WT Review

By Nick Mokey

A blend of useful features and a clean interface make this unit one of the best values in GPS.

Free lifetime traffic; solid mount; quality Bluetooth speakerphone; intuitive interface; quick to find location; quality text-to-speech

Garmin not forthcoming about built-in ads; POI searches can be slow; somewhat bland styling

Garmin Nuvi 265T GPS Device

The Nuvi 265T packs in the features--so many that its 3.5-inch screen feels small.

Includes lifetime traffic service ; Lots of extras, like hands-free calling

3.5-inch screen seems small

The Nuvi 265T lists for $300, but you can find it for about $275 online. That's a reasonable price for a full-featured GPS--especially when you factor in the lifetime traffic service

The Garmin Nuvi 265T packs a lot of features into a very small case: Like some other models reviewed recently, this GPS unit delivers lifetime traffic service, hands-free calling with Bluetooth, a hefty points-of-interest database, and more. Would...
