Garmin nuvi 265W

 

A mid-range GPS commanding a reasonable price, Garmin's nuvi 265W is a compact widescreen unit featuring Bluetooth and text-to-speech technology. Whil...

Compact, easy to use, simple map screen, Where Am I help menu, Australian text-to-speech voices

Unorthodox address input method, sluggish start-up time, no FM transmitter, lack of punch in volume, safety alerts aren't preloaded

Garmin's nuvi 265W isn't outstanding and does have a couple of faults, but its ease of use and simple operation will appeal to many users.

Garmin Nuvi 265w review

 

Garmin's GPS unit is bright and user-friendly

Easy to use ; Simple setup ; Good interface ; Easy to switch between 2D and 3D

Expensive

A good sat-nav for the money with plenty of features to make sure you get where you are going without having to keep your eyes on the sat-nav

Works Great!

 

I bought this to keep an eye on traffic while driving and to find the best route to my destinations in my new territory. Works pretty well, except when there are multiple roads and ramps, like at an airport. Picks up the satellite pretty quickly.

Best tour guide I've ever had.

 

I bought this to keep from getting lost in Kansas City, Mo. It notifies you of the upcoming turn or tells you not to take the upcoming turn at a comfortable distance. I used it as a map near Lincoln, Nebraska, trying to do a little sight seeing off the...
