Garmin 265W Nuvi

Garmin has been the forerunner in the commercial GPS market and has consistently ranked among the top 10 GPS that are sold world wide. GPS products from Garmin are known for their quality, great user interface and for the safety features that are incorporated into each of their GPS systems.

Deciding on which new Garmin GPS to buy can be a difficult task.

A new Garmin automotive GPS will cost in the low one hundred dollar to the low four hundred dollar range. As you would expect, the less expensive GPS will lack the advanced features of the more expensive ones.

Garmin's GPS receivers shot into prominence during the the first Gulf War. Garmin handheld GPS devices were widely used during the War by the Coalition forces.

This helped the troops to find their bearings in the wide, open, featureless deserts of the Gulf where in unfamiliar territory the armed forces found their way and won the war.

With so much choice you can rarely go wrong with a Garmin GPS.

I have owned quite a few GPS units all including Phone, Laptop and Dedicated. Flat out before I even get started the Garmin Nuvi 265WT is the best I have ever owned. Let me just make a couple of comments on the most important features.

Great for the price. Even when updated to 4/10/10 it still left out some old country roads in my area. no big deal bc i dont use the GPS in my area, only when I travel. So far no glitches and no errors. The voice could be louder so make sure your radio is off and your windows are up. If not you will not hear the voice prompting. I love this GPS unit so far.

I purchased this item after using my girlfriend's 265t and am totally satisfied with it. The unit is easy to use pretty straightforward and the free traffic for life can save you a lot of time. I can't imagine paying more when I have 99.9% of all I want in a car GPS.
