Get the big picture and big features for a small price with nüvi 265WT. This widescreen navigator takes you there with preloaded maps and turn-by-turn directions that call out streets by name. It adds a crisp, widescreen display to the nüvi 265WT and comes with lifetime traffic and hands-free calling to simplify life on the go. Like the rest of the nüvi 205-series, this portable navigator is priced right and ultra-easy to use.

No Sorry I didn’t get it so I can’t help you out there. I always recommend people to watch a c-net video on it. I’ve always found their services to be quite helpful. Hope you find what you’re looking for…best of luck with it.
did yoi byu 1302T, how is it? I thinking to buy NUVI 1350T
Great with subtitles in spanish!! gracias por el comentario ahora si me voy a comprar uno!! gracias por ponerlo en español!!
lol if its stolen its not hard to completely restore it
Thank for the tip but that’s not what I’m looking for. I just found the 265WT for $169.99 @ Radio Shack but I noticed that it didn’t have the lane assist feature and a couple of others. I’ll have to see if it’s worth spending more money for only 1 or 2 more features. Last year my sister told me about Black Friday…I woke up at 3AM to go to the store & I don’t think I’ll do that again. It was a zoo in there.
Then you need to look at dropping prices on the Garmin nuvi 4.3″ screen 755T (765T w/Bluetooth) or 855T with Voice Recognition. Also, do a Google search for “Black Friday GPS Sales”. You’ll see the 265 through 265WT series going for $119 – $169.
Ahuh…just noticed that. I already bought one for my youngest sister’s birthday so I stopped looking into this product about 2 months ago. I might get a Garmin Nuvi 1390T for my oldest sister. I saw it on Wal Mart’s website for $254 and I liked that price because I haven’t seen a GPS unit with traffic and the lane assist feature for that price.
The Garmin nuvi 265WT also has a 4.3″ screen. You’re confusing it with the Garmin nuvi 265 which has the standard 3.5″ screen. Recommend checking out GPS Magazine (dot) com for reviews, rankings and Buyer’s Guide.
When I was looking for a GPS unit this was one of the first places I came. I learned a lot more about these gadgets after doing some research. Personally, I think the Garmin Nuvi 780 is better than this model. They’re pretty much the same but the 780 has a 4.3″ screen instead of 3.5″.
No, because it’s considered to be part of CENTRAL America
Yes. That’s what the “T” in 265W(idescreen) T(raffic) stands for. It’s free in exchange for some occasional and unobtrusive ads/coupons that pop up, usually when you’re stopped in traffic.
I am getting this because of the lifetime traffic alerts.. Better than paying for the service every year, being in the Delivery field, it is nice to know where the trouble spots are in the DALLAS / Fort Worth area..
Oh, I forgot to ask in my last comment box…at Wal Mart’s website they say that you can get a lifetime of traffic updates with this model but this guy said absolutely NOTHING about it. Anyone know if that’s a free feature or if it requires a contract with monthly payments? Thanks.
He was right about 1 thing…I have a Garmin Nuvi 200 (the cheapest model out there) and I LOVE it….it is the best electronic device I have ever purchased. I just love every single basic feature about it. My two favorite features are the phone numbers that it provides when you find a point of interest (that’s nice because it’s not just a location finder but it’s like having a Yellow Pages with you) and the automatic route recalculation when you miss turns or make a wrong turn. Great stuff.
They say this covers North America. Mexico IS part of North America but often not included. Can anyone verify for me that Mexico is indeed included on this unit? Getting ready for a 2+ month trip and need it.
Hey guys, check out my video of this thing on a plane during take off and at cruising altitude.
online at mynewcheap, exellent price, excellent service
179.99 at dell with online code coupon: J8?LCPQ2Q5909T
I agree that this isn’t a comprehensive review, but after reading several other online reviews, I jumped on this. Can’t wait to get my new gps device.
does this have canada maps??
How does this work for hunting where there are no roads? Can you mark the fishing spots? How about geocache?
You have to be really scatterbrained if it has to remind you of red light cameras. if you input the warning, won’t you get a ticket as you run the red light ? A fat ticket will remind you so I don’t see why it would need to do that.
I’ve since done two videos covering the Free Traffic reporting on the 265WT. Check them out! Search “265WT Traffic” or my username.
does the traffic feature indicate speed? also, if there is a traffic jam will the garmin provide an alternate route?
If any GPS made on the planet does NOT have (serch by coordinates), it isnt worth squat! Only TomTom and Garmin has these features as far as I know. Coordinates allows you to pin point anywhere by using google earth. I enjoy fishing and most boat landings have NO address. Also, theirs lots of home addresses that are not accurate to a gps unit. Im amazed other companies have not picked up on this!
we got a megellen for $100
its got 3d map text to speach, voice commands
we dont need hands free because we have headsets
and voice command reconition is not justifiable for an xtra 150$
and most of the time when we actully need it, its a long trip and there is a passenger who can use it
