    Nice little unit

    I really like just about everything about this unit. it's compact. I can easily read it while sitting in its holder attached to my windshield. Sometimes the charging cord is a bit cumbersome, especially when plugged in and in the way of hitting first gear in my car. Sometimes the unit doesn't totally find my destination. The hourglass icon keeps looking but won't give me written directions. All in all, It gets me where I want to go. I am very pleased with the purchase.

    Not all pieces in box

    Buttons harder to push than my last GPS and mount didn't come in box as described, so it is difficult to view as it slides around my car while driving. Also, the cord is reallllllly long, which I guess is better than too short, right?! LOL. But the cord is a bit much. I would NOT buy again. Esp from this seller.

  • Good but not able to update maps yet

    Battery is pretty much gone. I have not been able to update maps yet but still looking. This is what you need to be aware when you buy a used GPS. On the other hand, it does its job with 2012 maps and permanently connected power. It is ok for the price.

  • For the price, great product - Fast and Reliable

    The Good: - Like ALL Garmin GPS, easy to use with simple Touchscreen commands - Bright and Easy to read 4.3" LCD screen. - Easy to install (windshield). Alternative Dash mounts available - Catches satellite signal quickly and updates movement rapidly. Recalculates directions if you miss a turn or exit - Many features including Live traffic alerts (with included GTM 25 receiver/vehicle charger) - BIG list of POI's (also see Bad below) - While many newer cars are Bluetooth capable, this unit offers Bluetooth capability for older cars and, especially, for Rental cars (which many don't have) - Spoken and Text Language possibilities, including Spanish, French and Most European languages - International maps available The Bad: - No FREE map updates. Map updates are expensive, especially if you live in new construction areas. Also, POI's are obviously get outdated (yeah that restaurant closed 2 years ago) - Need more warning time for turns and exits - Like many other GPS, this is primarily used for driving. Battery life is not great to use as hand-held for city pedestrian. Use your smartphone for that The Ugly: - The battery may FINALLY fail and is NOT SIMPLE TO REPLACE without potentially destroying the GPS circuitry. Not subjecting unit to HEAT or COLD will extend the battery life. However, even with a dead battery, the GPS will continue to work when hooked up to a power source (in a car or even wall charger) Summary: Have been discontinued by manufacturer. While these are around with working batteries, they are great buys as used items. Eventually, almost all acrs will have built-in GPS. Until then this is a great gadget to have for the cost, especially for vacation travel

  • Works well, but without the original cord, the traffic feature will not work.

    I've always used Garmin and have found them reliable, and getting this one for the price I did was nice. The picture depicted what I would be receiving, which did not include the 12 volt cord. This unit can use any Garmin cord or others, but unless you have the one with the FM antenna in it the traffic feature will not work. I did have another unit in another vehicle which did have it, and when I tried it on this unit, the traffic feature did activate. I tried it as the unit said "W" on it, not "WT", so I thought it wasn't a WT, but turned out it was as long as you have the proper cord. If the cord had been included, it would have gotten 5 stars.

  • Would buy again... quality product

    In my opinion... I feel it's a great GPS! The magnet attachment is very useful. I don't like leaving the GPS on the dash overnight. In my neighborhood, which is a golf course community, it's surrounded by folks that love to break into the nicer cars and take anything (sorry off subject). The base and power cord stay together, I can just pop the GPS off. I ordered a Garmin aftermarket case with nice soft interior. So storing it is safe and easy, and I do use it daily. One of the very first things I did was turned off the map layer that had the 'up ahead'. I guess it's a nice option to have and Garmin probably listened to customers asking for this feature. But I don't need all the extra icons on the screen, when I need to find a gas station I'll search for it at the moment I need it. It's a really sharp looking GPS. and I'm proud to have it on my dash. My stereo has Apple play so I could use maps there no problem. But I still prefer to have my GPS do it's specific job of guiding me to my destination. The stereo is for music. My iPhone is for calls and texts ( not while driving of course). So with all the screens in my car at night I feel like a pilot or something. Garmin customer service has been great. They answer the calls and are always polite. I certainly will always buy a Garmin product for my GPS needs.

  • Great screen design

    Much better than another brand I was using. Clearly announces upcoming intersections for turns. very precise instructions for proper lanes to be in for changing Interstate highways and for proper exiting of Interstate highways to secondary roads. Only used it on 2 trips so I'm sure I will find more to like as I use it more.

  • Love the Nuvi 265w

    I have a Garmin Nuvi 265w in one of our cars and bought a 2nd one for the other car. Love the 1st so 2nd should be just as good. This Garmin does everything we need a GPS to do. Clear turn by turn instructions. Very accurate directions. Easy to use. Always lets me know if I miss a turn and gets me back on the road. I never go on a trip without it. Keeps me from getting lost. Would buy again.

  • Garmin 265WT

    I purchased this GPS to replace the one I had that got stolen. They seem to be a reliable Gps, I have not had any problems with them. Maps are kind of pricy but it is what it is.

  • Basic features are great, not sure about extra features

    The voice calls interferes with the car's hands free, so I disabled the GPS bluetooth. I have not yet seen any evidence of it adjusting for traffic.
