Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Manufacturer's Description (August 26, 2008)Garmin's nüvi 265T improves upon its 200-series predecessors by adding free real-time traffic updates from Navteq (for the life of the device) as well as Bluetooth connectivity to your cell phone. Other significant improvements in the 2x5 series include a predictive technology that provides faster satellite lock, a redesigned screen with more information, terrain maps, and an exciting new photo navigation feature. The 265T provides complete maps for North America and the handy Text-to-Speech feature, so you get turn-by-turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. "turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way", rather than merely "turn left in 50 feet").
The nüvi 2x5 models all sport the slim design that Garmin introduced with the 200-series last year, so they all fit comfortably in your pocket or purse, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that makes them convenient for navigation by car or foot. All of the models include useful travel tools like a JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more.
Integrated Traffic ReceiverSteer clear of traffic with an integrated GTM 20 FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. No subscriptions or additional hardware needed. Just open the box, turn it on, and get instant access to traffic information--the traffic updates are free for the life of the device.
All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.
In most areas, the traffic broadcasts are continuous--there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions.
Hands-Free CallingIn more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. WIth Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker, you can match your nüvi to any Bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log.
Customer Reviews Garmin nüvi 265T Bluetooth Portable GPS NavigatorFrom Garmin
Intermittent Re-Booting Reviewed serval web sites and decided on the Garmin Nuvi 265T. I originally was going to purchase the Garmin Nuvi 205, but after review the 265T had BlueTooth and lifetime Traffic updates. After receiving my first Nuvi 265T, the unit would re-boot itself... this occured on a daily occurance and during a 60minute operation would re-boot 5-6 times. I returned the unit and received a second Nuvi265T, out of the box the unit tried to acquire satellites..after 15 minutes of looking for satellites the unit completely locked up. (yes, the unit was plugged in to a DC Power Source that worked). I returned this unit and purchased a Garmin Nuvi 205 (the original item I wanted). The Garmin Nuvi 205 has worked very well, no issues. I did purcase through J&R Electronics and their customer service was excellant and responsive.
We liked our C340 better! After having a Garmin C340 for several years, we've been a little disappointed in the Nuvi265. Directions are more confusing and sometimes downright inaccurate. We just returned from a 3000 mile trip, so we tested it pretty thoroughly and just do not find it as reliable as our C340 had been.
Powerful but handy! The Garmin 265T is my first GPS, but I have used several other GPS units owned by friends. I like my Garmin because it's small but very helpful. It has text-to-speech capability so I can just focus on the road while it tells me which road to take. It has Bluetooth capability and I tried it and it's awesome. I don't regularly use the Bluetooth handsfree capability but I'm sure it'll come in handy when I need it. :)
