 Great GPS! November 23, 2008
The (free) traffic update feature has already saved me time on several trips. Interface is intuative, love the ability to associate my own pictures with "Favourite" locations. My son especially loves the "Black Pearl" as the 'car' icon.
Highly recommended.
Great Unit for the $$ November 22, 2008

I'm really happy with this as my first GPS unit. I haven't fully explored all the bells and whistles but it was very easy to get this going and start using it out of the box. The turn-by-turn voice directions are great, the screen is easy to read and the voice is very easy to understand. So far it has been very accurate everywhere I've gone with it.
I have enough MP3 players so I don't really care about that functionality and didn't want to pay for it. I haven't tried the Bluetooth speakerphone yet but don't really expect to hear high-quality voice from a GPS and I have a Supertooth already. It's nice to have either way but I doubt I'll use it much.
I would have given this 5 stars but I have to agree with others that the documentation is almost non-existent. Also I found the process of loading favorites a bit confusing at first. But these are minor issues and don't detract from the performance or value. Overall this is a great unit if you want voice directions, wide screen, and integrated traffic reporting.
Great GPS with advanced functionality November 15, 2008

The 265WT is (literally) THE way to go! It's an easy-to-use GPS. It has voice turn-by-turn instructions (including street names), free FM traffic for life!, and hands-free Bluetooth capability. The graphics are great too. The antenna is built in and very sensitive.
The FM traffic is a great feature, and unlike other models, it's free for life with the 265WT. While commuting, I can easily see where traffic is congested or stopped, and my Nuvi 265WT routes me around it. Isn't technology great!
For the price (purchased on Amazon <$300), the 265WT is a great value considering the advanced functionality. I can't think of a better GPS with all of the features I need and will frequrently use. The hands-free Bluetooth speaker quality is okay, but not great.
Note: Like all Nuvi's, the 265WT is fairly intuitive to use, so you won't need a printed manual. You can download a PDF manual from the Garmin website. Garmin saves lots of paper annually by not including a printed manual with the unit. Way to go Garmin!

This is my first portable GPS navigator and I'm not quite sure what more you really need. Honestly, this provides all the features you can reasonably use...anything more seems a lot like needless luxury. oh, BTW: manual shmanual...does not knock a great product to 1 star.
 No manual included, print your own! What do you expect for $300..... November 8, 2008

This might be a good product, but the documentation is lousy.
Not only does it NOT come with a manual, but when you go to the Garmin site to download a "current" manual, it covers multiple products, and is designed to print on 4.75" square paper. Don't know about you, but my printer doesn't use 4.75" paper.
Nothing like buying a new $300 product and having to print your own 60 page manual! Thanks a lot, Garmin! Good job saving 15 cents!
(Yes, that's right, I'm a crotchety old dude.)
