I am now going to return my second Garmin. The first kept crashing and needed to be restarted often while driving. from Amazon.com The Nuvi 265t is my second Garmin and I am frustrated with the units inability to accurately report traffic. In fact I have gone back to using my Garmin Street Pilot 550C. from Amazon.com Unable to decide between the TomTom XL340s and a Garmin 265wt after looking at them both in stores, I ended up buying both. For the benefit of anyone else looking at these units or their siblings, here is what I learned ... from Amazon.com This is my first gps and I have to say it's quite idiot proof and very,very easy to use. I used it right out of the box with reading only the quick start instructions. If your phone is capable of bluetooth, don't go by what's on the web site, try it anyway. from Amazon.com Bought the Garmin Nuvi 265WT for my wife who travels around the state of Pennsylvania for her job. We used it only last week to take a vacation trip down to Myrtle Beach. from Amazon.com Bought this for my Wife to replace a Lowrence and she absolutely loves it. Quick acquisition of satellites and excellent routing capabilities are the major advantages over her old one. from Amazon.com This is my second GPS; the old GPS is StreetPilot c340. I really like the GPS because of the following features: 1) Light weight. Wide screen so more info. from Amazon.com This is the second 265wt I received from amazon with defects. The first unit would freeze up on a daily basis leaving me waiting on the side of the road. from Amazon.com The Garmin Nuvi 265WT was a replacement for as Magellan Maestro 4000 and it is much better. The reason I needed a new one was the inability to buy the map update on the Magellan (it was unavailable on the Magellan website). from Amazon.com This GARMIN GPS is excellent especially with the traffic integrator to tell you where there are traffic delays as you drive and allow you to recalculate or take an alternate route, EXCELLENT product for the money!!! from Amazon.com
