great gadget, poor traffic aid
This is my first gps and I had big expectations.
The nuvi 265t is easy to use and I was able to just switch it on and go find a NobHill shop in the area…

Insufficient or out dated maps
I have owned a Magellan GPS but needed to upgrade due to the unit no longer receiving support from Magellan ( 4 -5 years old )….after registering the Garmin ….

Happy but not perfect
I recently purchased the Garmin 265T 3.5 and I researched alot of GPS’s, I did not want to spend a ton of money but wanted simplicity with specific features.

I love this GPS! It is always accurate! The only trouble we are having is changing states. We travel out of state alot.

Little direction and no support
This is my first GPS. I am appalled at the almost total lack of directions for the unit. The very small booklet purporting to tell you how to use it is a joke.

good product
The only con, I would say, the free real-time traffic loads very slowing. It usually takes 30-40 minutes. But the Garmin tech support is immediate and responsive.

Great product!
I bought a refurbished unit and received the wrong clip with it (to attach it to the windshield). I was not happy to have to repackage and ship that back to the store; I thought…

Disappointed!
I am very disappointed with this product! It does not have the features most of its competitors have, such as calculating multiple routes.

This is my 4th Garmin GPS and I love it! The other writer mentioned the extra "tumor" for about 3 inches. If that bothers you, well I am NOT that anal and it is hardly even obvious. Who cares about the power cable any way? The unit's screen is clear, bright, easy to read. Lot's of improvements. Considered the 265WT but frankly just prefer the smaller screen for walking or riding a bike, just fits in pockets better and still large enough to see easily in an automobile. I agree that the start-up is FAST-FAST. A great improvement over several previous Garmin models. I highly recommend this one!
**I have now used this for a few weeks. The screen is actually brighter and the colors much more vivid than previous models I have owned. Up-to-date locations and the voice is an improvement over prior models as well, much easier to understand street names and names of saved peoplelocations. For the money-you can't go wrong. When I go to Europe again in the future I am getting the 275 model which is the same as this but has maps for Europe as well. Again, I do prefer the 3.5" vs. the 4.3" screen size. It's very easy to see in the car and so compact for walking, hiking etc. Garmin keeps making improvements and this little unit is a GREAT value, highly-highly recommend it.
***OK, I have used this for months now and it has NEVER gotten me lost, never. Previous models at least got me lost once. I am more than pleased I made the investment in this little puppy. Fast, easy to see (even in bright conditions, better than prior Garmins I had). It's worth the extra bucks to get this vs. others, well worth it and I could not be more pleased now.

Garmin gives great directions
I’ve quite happy with my Garmin 265t. It’s nice and compact, and the directions are second to none.
