You probably one of many that got excited to see a GPS with a free traffic notification for life, well I was too. Last year I bought TomTom One for one of my cars and I was and still very happy with it. After reading the Garmin 265WT specs I decided to purchase one too, and let me say it in three words - Don't buy it. Here is why:
1. The free traffic warring is ABSOLUTLY useless, Yes even in NY-NJ areas. So now when it warns me of traffic I just ignore it. In most cases it is absolutely wrong and misleading. I was driving on one highway 65 MPH while the GPS "is claiming" that I am in a middle of traffic jam with 15 minutes delay. Or seating in back-to-back traffic jam for almost an hour and the GPS claims no traffic delays what so ever. If you use this GPS and always take their advice and switch route then I dare you to ignore it - you will find it more than 50% of the time wrong.
2. The instructions on major intersections (when you really need it) are worst then Tom Tom - in short very confusing.
3. It is hard to switch after getting used to a Human voice (in Tom Tom) to a computerized sound
4. This model is unable to overlay point of interest (gas station or Coffee stores) on the map (again like in Tom Tom)
I am not promoting Tom Tom (maybe there are better vendors) but I used them as a reference point. My overall impression that Garmin have too many versions and is not maintaining or even enhancing the one they sell. So, bad stay bad. So if you are like me who wanted a GPS with free traffic notification and consider this one then my recommendation DON'T pick this one. Once concern that I had that was not an issue at all was the advertising. It is true it is Very easy to ignore, but this is the only positive comment that I experienced with this model.

Bought it in April and now I'm on unit # 4! Garmin's acknowledgment is below.
THESE UNITS consistently loose the voice. When this happens it still navigates but the system starts to hang. Also the navigation will start to hang too if you alter your route. You need to shut off the unit and restart but then it will soon happen again.
The 1st replacement was a refurbished after they promised me a new unit. With the 2nd replacement, just like the first one, I made sure that not only did I have the most recent map but also that I had all the unit updates. On the 3rd replacement that I received yesterday I didn't update it and sure enough the same problems occur.
I have spoken to Garmin by phone about 8 times since May and many e-mails. I just contacted Amazon and someone at Garmin Corporate, I'm waiting to hear back. I'm just amazed that Garmin is still selling this unit, why don't they recall these?
Here is an e-mail from a Garmin support Tech from over two weeks ago:
"Unfortunately, there has been an issue with the latest software update
on these units. Our engineers are working on an update to correct this issue, and
we expect to see this very soon.
Your account is set up so that you will receive an email notification
when the update is available, but you are more than welcome to email me
if you do not hear about this soon."

Great product. Works well. Don't know that I would spend the extra money for the bluetooth version, but got it just in case. Wish the manual had a bit more information. Still learning how to use it, but am very happy thus far.

Bought this several weeks ago and took it to a trip in LA.
Managed to find an alternate route quickly due to traffic jam.
I am impressed. The interface is easy to use. Voice is clear.
There are newer models which offer 3D view in intersection.
In my opinion, the voice instruction is more important, because
most of the time, I look ahead, with clear voice instructions,
I hardly need to look at the GPS. I only look at it to check
for miles away from turn, the estimated arrival time ..etc.
There was one time it was not able to locate the satellite, maybe
due to the cloudy morning in LA.
Overall, I think is i a good deal and a good product.
Note that I did not get a chance to use the blue tooth feature.
