 "Can't get better options for the price!" 2009-07-21
By David H. Christiansen
Researched my GPS purchase for 2 weeks and couldn't find a better deal than this one! The 265T has lifetime traffic (the ads are super small so they don't distract), bluetooth that works great with my cell phone, text-to-speech for all streets AND has a voice dial feature I didn't even know about! Received promptly and Garmin support was excellent when I called to get my free map update. You can get 1 free update, but you must provide them with Amazon proof of purchase because it's factory refurbished.

 "I'm not lost anymore" 2009-08-18
By James Hendershot
I travel to Chicago, St. Louis, and many other mid-western cities and with all the construction it is sometimes really hard to get around. I finally broke down and bought the Garmin GPS. I cut miles and time off of my commute from airports to clients. Like I said above in the title I'm not lost anymore.



Great Product

 "Brand-name, mediocre unit. Good for tech challenged, not for keen users" 2009-08-12
By Tathagata De
Pros:

1. Free lifetime traffic



2. Next turn arrow at top corner



3. Free one time map update



Cons:

1. Limited routing choice: Faster (Highway) or shorter (back roads). There is nothing in between. Faster choice will give extreme high preference on Highways; As a result, faster routes are not always faster.



2. There is no choice of avoiding U-turns.



3. When you start entering address, it will not show you recently used cities. So even when I am entering a street address in home town, I have to re-enter city name every time.



4. Compound that problem with non-QWERTY keyboard. I never guessed a non-standard keyboard is such an annoyance. If you need to search for characters when you are in a hurry (may be when you are stopped in a traffic light), you will feel the pain.



5. Routing does not consider delays at intersections due to traffic lights. As a result, ETAs are incorrect.



6. You can not customize to display distance to your destination (instead of ETA)



7. Navteq problem: For highways with a physical divider, it will ignore crossovers as a valid route. To understand: enter 9513 N Tryon St, 28262 in Google map. Navteq will not recognize N Tryon St (northbound) and Barton Creek Dr as a valid intersection. As a result, Garmin will not allow a left turn across the crossover.



8. Trail color is pink (an eyesore)



Summary: I am keeping this as a back-up unit since it has traffic information and latest maps. I will use 3yr old Mio as my primary GPS.

 "Great features for the price" 2009-08-10
By Wyxgsjm (California)
I have only used my first GPS for 3 days, but I already enjoy the great features

(1) Free traffic - It works surprisingly well for me in east SF bay area, it accurately and promptly reports conditions of 680 and 880. Even though I use 680 and 880 every day for commuting, I am often hit by traffics on 680 and 880, but today, 265T guided me correctly. This saves me time and money - I think those global warming guys should provide rebate for FM equipped GPS!

(2) Bluetooth - Works well with my Samsung Beat. It supports address book as well. The only problem is that the Beat always ask for accepting GPS or not even though security is off. I am still trying to find a way so that Beat accepts GPS without asking for confirmation(It always works if the phone tries to connect GPS, no question asked)

(3) GPS - Response time is very good. Speaker is loud enough for me.

The only problem I had with this unit is that there is a pixel always stays as dark blue at lower left corner. But Amazon staffs have been really helpful on resolving this issue. All in all, I am very happy with this unit and Amazon service.

 "Signal strength issues" 2009-08-03
By John Doe
I bought this GPS from Amazon specifically for a trip to Hawaii. During road tests in southern California, it worked fine - I periodically saw Walgreens ads etc related to the free traffic reports. It does seem to take longer than my car's built-in GPS to locate satellites etc though.



In Hawaii, I expected signal issues, say if we were in the middle of the towering hotels of the Waikiki area, but out along the north shore where there are no obstructions, I had no signal for 50-60% of my trip. We would be driving in the same open fields and the signal would get lost.



Aside from the signal strength issues, the 265T is very nice to use. But given that you need a signal for a GPS to be useful, I couldn't rate it highly.

 "It works great" 2009-08-03
By J. Rogers (Mill Creek, WA)
It worked great on our trip. It was easy to use and I liked that it was portable. The bluetooth option was nice for the long drive and saved me from having to use the speaker phone. The voice prompts worked well, sometimes they were a little slow, but if watch the screen it will show you the next road coming at the top of the screen. I especially liked hitting the places to go button when looking for a place to eat or get gas on our long trip.
