This is a refurbished GPS. Refurbished generally means that the unit has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the navigator back to like new conditions. Some GPS may contain cosmetic blemishes.
Garmin's nüvi 265WT 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 265WT 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").
Integrated Traffic Receiver
Steer 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 Calling
In 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.Key Features/Benefits for all 2x5 Series Navigators

New -- Improved Interface
| One of Garmin's key product philosophies is to make extremely complex technology easy to use for anyone right out of the box, and perhaps nowhere is that better exemplified than in the user interface for Garmin's portable navigation devices. Garmin's interface is a key to their success part of what makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D or 3-D maps and smooth map updates as you navigate. This year, Garmin has redesigned its interface to include much more useful information. | |
Old Interface | New Interface |
New -- HotFix™ – aka: Satellite Ephemeris Data Prediction
 | Your GPS device locks onto transmissions from a dedicated network of Satellites in order to determine its position. Until the device gets a "lock" on three satellites, it can't effectively navigate, so decreasing the time it takes for your device to get "satellite lock" is always a goal of GPS manufacturers. With Garmin's new HotFix technology, your Garmin GPS remembers the position of all satellites it is tracking when you turn it off, and calculates their movements in order to predict where they should be the next time you turn it on. This gives the device an idea of where it should look for satellites, and dramatically decreases the time it takes for your Garmin to get its position and start navigating. HotFix can predict satellite positions for up to 3 days after the device was last turned off. Using Garmin’s unique Web site — Garmin Connect Photos — users can choose from millions of geo-located photos provided by Google’s Panoramio photo sharing community and download them to the nüvi for a richer navigation experience using pictures as a guide. | ||||
New -- Navigate by Photo

Widescreen -- See More of What's Around
| The super-bright, 4.3-inch (diagonal) touchscreen display gives is anti-glare for ease of viewing during the day and automatically changes its color profile for easy viewing at night or in dim light. It offers 2d or 3D perspective views. The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push. | |

By Jessica A. Gillespie (Dallas, TX USA)
It's been awesome. This is an upgrade from our last Garmin and we love the new features--tells your current speed limit and what the speed limit is in the area (though it's not always 100% accurate so be careful), shows delayed time when you get into traffic, and has multiple destination routing. My husband says he's used up to 10 at routes at a time because he is a property manager. His job is made much easier because of this GPS. We really like it a lot.
By Max Smith (Helotes, Texas)
I had trouble with this unit from the start. Fortunately, Garmins customer support was no less than outstanding! I can't say enough about the excellent service I received. I had a replacement unit within a week of contacting them. Sorry to say however, this unit suffered from the same issues and was ultimately replaced with a new one. Finally, the review:
Easy setup, the unit came online and paired with my Iphone without any problems. The bluetooth speaker and microphone work great. Conversation is nice and clear. Voice directions are great and maps are easy to read. Traffic delays are sometimes inaccurate, but not too bad overall. I am very pleased with the device and would definitely recommend it to others, although I would say to buy new instead of refurbished.
By GenderEdGuy
new to the area where i live so definitely glad i bought something. This sometimes takes a few minutes to find where you are before the directions follow suit and I've had to download updates earlier than I anticipated
Otherwise, sometimes the audio goes wacky and sounds possessed. The info is generally good although I'm not convinced the traffic component always works. I've been sitting in traffic and yet it tells me there's none; I've also been on clear roads and it's told me there's traffic.
By John P. Lyrenmann
As many others have said, it's a great device and I've been very happy so far. As far as getting the free map update I had no problems at all. After registering the device it told me I had a free map update and asked me if I wanted to download it then, which I did and it worked fine.
By JHM (Flushing, NY USA)
This is my first GPS. I chose this model after asking others for recommendations, and doing some online research. When it arrived, I took it out of the box, plugged in my home location, and was on the go immediately. A simple and intuitive touch screen makes life easier. I'm also enjoying the POI's, and have added some of my own that have made this unit even more useful.
My only recommendation would be to be able to further customize settings. I'd like to know about upcoming turns or exits a bit sooner, since if I'm on a crowded highway, for instance, I might need more of a heads up to get to the exit lane. Also, I'd like to see a route before I hit "go" to see if it's really the way I want to go. This might be a shortcoming of all GPS systems, since this is my first, I'm not really all that familiar with standard GPS features.
The traffic receiver did help us avoid some serious traffic jams during a recent vacation, although the detour was quite lengthy anyway, I don't know if I ultimately saved time.
