The Value of Navigation

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2009
The Bottom Line: Nothing everything is perfect, but this unit is a step toward the future of the new value.
Review: With the economy in its "G.B. state" and many consumers tightening their belts, manufacturers have had to improve the value of their products.  Garmin, already a company known for making quality products, has decided to raise the bar by keeping...

Very nice basic navigation system with a couple extra bells and whistes

Date of Review:  Jan 5, 2009
The Bottom Line: Handheld GPSs have come a long way so that even the budget ones have nice features and performance.  This Garmin is definitely one of those!
Review: First I have to say, as of today (01/05/08) the picture associated with this item on epinions is incorrect.  It shows the 265T, which is pretty much the same thing as the 265WT but not widescreen.  Regrardless, it is still the incorrect...

A good GPS for someone eho needs decent navigation that lasts long enough.

Date of Review:  Sep 10, 2009
The Bottom Line: Buy if you are looking around for a economic gps system.
Review: Had one other GPS earlier.First the power chord broke,later the sound on the GPA went off.Looked around for a good navigation system that would be both reliable as well as not cost too much.Then bought a Garmin GPS after recommendation from...

Reason for my final choice

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2009
The Bottom Line: One of the best GPS for the money.  Driver's essential gadget everyone should have.
Review: 265WT was our family's 5th GPS, and no doubt the best decision of the five.  With all our three cars having their own GPS I did not need another GPS.  But I got so frustrated with my 4th purchase which was the only non-Garmin product, that i thought...

Great car accessory!

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2009
Review: I needed a handsfree bluetooth phone adaptor and wanted a gps for traffic conditions. This Nuvi 265 is nice! This is my 5th GPS and all have been Garmins so I don't know about the other OEM brands other than the factory unit in the Prius. I'd say...

bluetooth and traffic alert do not work,

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2009
The Bottom Line: look elsewhere
Review: The map and driving direction are acceptable. Clear direction but it does not tell you the name of the road or the number of the exit or the name of the highway connection. It just tell you, say, in one mile, you have to turn or to exit. For this...

Garmin Nuvi

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2009
Review: I have this GPS system and I absolutely love it.  It has been very dependable for me and has always directed me to where I need to be.  The big screen is very clear and easy to read, and the audible voice is extremely clear.  To be honest, I am...

I love this GPS

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2009
Review: Bought this for the wife as an upgrade from a much cheaper Garmin.  I cannot fault this device in any way.  We love it and it doesn't seem to exhibit some of the criticisms from other Internet reviews, i.e., not a sensitive touch screen, volume can...

DO NOT BUY GARMIN

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2009
The Bottom Line: do not buy a garmin. garmin will get you lost as often as it will get you found. i'd be better off with a compass and a map.
Review:   Garmin-
I am writing this letter in response to your company's failure to address my complaint, and to inform you that as a paying customer, you will never do business with me again.
Last winter I bought a Garmin Nuvi 360, a gps unit...
