Garmin
nuvi 265WT GPS Navigator
Product Overview
Like all of the Nuvis in the 2x5 series, the Garmin 265WT is
slim and compact, making it possible to tuck the device down
into a pocket or handbag while not using it on the road. Unlike
its predecessors in the 200 series, this model is equipped with
free real-time traffic updates from Navteq for as long as you
own it. It also contains more than six million points of
interest (POI), which are places such as gas stations,
restaurants, and hotels, as well as the ability to accept
custom POI from users.
Equipped with a SD card slot, but not the actual card
itself, users can add pictures, travel guides and extra maps to
the 265WT. Included with the purchase of the Nuvi 265WT by
Garmin is the Quick Start manual, USB cable, dashboard disc,
vehicle suction cup mount and power cable, and the FM traffic
receiver.
The rechargeable lithium ion battery in the 265WT will
operate the device for up to four hours, depending on what it's
being used for, without it being connected to a power source,
allowing you to take it along with you when leaving the
car.
Actual user review :
• "The Garmin 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 nuvi 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!" - C.Smith (CT,USA)
Notable Benefits and Features
With nüvi 265WT's widescreen display, you'll always get the
bigger picture as compared to the nuvi 265T. View map detail,
driving directions, photos and more in bright, brilliant color.
Its 4.3-inch display is easy to read from
any direction because of its sunlight-readable screen.
Hands-free calls are possible with the
Nuvi 265WT as it is Bluetooth compatible, and when paired with
a Bluetooth compatible phone, the unit allows users to talk
hands-free and make or receive incoming calls all by touching
the onscreen keypad or tapping the screen and talking into its
built-in microphone. This, along with the turn-by-turn voice
directions feature makes it even safer to find your way without
being distracted.
The integrated GTM traffic
receiver delivers alerts about upcoming traffic
congestion, areas of road construction, and tie-ups along your
route without any extra equipment needed. In most areas, the
alerts are continual and all that's needed to view the
information is a few touches of the display's icons. Lifetime
coverage is included with purchase, so as long as you own the
device, the Nuvi 265WT's traffic alerts and broadcasts are
free.
Never fear getting lost in unfamiliar territory again as the
265WT contains the "Where Am I?" feature that displays your
current location with a touch of the screen's icon. See your
proximity to the closest major intersections, address, or
emergency personnel, and even get your exact latitude and
longitude. Also taking the worry out of travel is Garmin Lock,
which is a built-in antitheft device that renders it inoperable
without being in a predetermined secure location or without the
user's personal identification number or PIN.
With HotFix capabilities, the Nuvi
265WT receives satellite information faster than ever before,
and with maps of the continental U.S. plus Hawaii, Canada, and
Puerto Rico, there are plenty of places to explore. Also, if
you're interested in viewing actual pictures instead of 2D or
3D map views, the Nuvi 265WT is compatible with Garmin Connect
Photos that houses millions upon millions of pictures provided
by Google's Panoramio, making geo-location a part of your
navigational tools.
Even if you can’t afford to buy an expensive sports car in
'real life', with the Garmin
Garage feature you can select from a number of
'expensive-looking' car icons to represent your position on the
map display. Choose from a variety of icons and change them
anytime you like to suit your mood or for personalizing your
GPS experience.
Actual user comment :
• "I bought the nuvi 265wt before Christmas, liked it
and bought another one for my daughter. I liked the fact that
this model has the features I wanted: It has the pronunciation
of the street names, so that you don't have to look at the
screen if it is not convenient. It has the lifetime traffic
information free, which is the feature I had waited for. It
also has the Bluetooth, which allows me to conduct handsfree
cell phone conversation. I also owned nuvi 360. Compared to
that old model, nuvi 265wt has traffic information. The new
model is made of dull black plastic that feels cheap, compared
to 360's solid aluminum case. The advantage is that it is
lighter to carry around, and that it is probably cheaper to
make and the cost savings are passed along to consumers.
Overall I think the nuvi 265WT is a good compromise for less
than $250."
