Garmin nüvi 265W/265WT 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic

Let me just start by saying I really wanted to like this product and was disappointed I had to return it. It's a good deal for the price, but just didn't work when I actually needed it.

I used this GPS the first few days on my every day routes such as my friend's house and work. It was great and took me the direction I usually go anyway. The traffic updates were alright, but only work on major roads, so it's not really useful for everyday commutes if you are driving locally. Anyways, it was easy to use and accurate thus far. Also the Bluetooth was awesome, it found my phone right away and I was up and running in 20 seconds.

The real test came when my family and I took this to go to Atlantic City. It took us there alright, but was a nightmare on the way back. We came out of a parking garage in one of the casinos, so we gave it a while to see if it would be able to determine where we were, but it would just keep saying "Drive to highlighted route", the when we did, it would recalculate and say we were actually somewhere else now and say to drive to highlighted route again.

I was a bit annoyed that for half an hour as we drove around the same area, it could not figure out where we were where there were dozens of landmarks all around us. I returned it because I got the GPS so it would tell me where to go when I was in a place I wasn't familiar with. The fact that it did well on roads I already knew was of no use.

This my first GPS so I little to compare it to, but while the voice is clear, the volume could definitely be louder.
Appears easy to use.

So for anyone wondering about buying a Factory Refurbished Nuvi 265wt Let me just say there is no need to worry here was what you do 1st keep your e-mail reciept from amazon then call Garmin at 1-800-800-1200 select product support let them know you you like to register your product and they will walk you through the rest no problem. enough said.
One other thing I should mention is that if you have a newer vechicle that has bluethooth them save yourself a couple of bucks and get the Nuvi255 instead.

This is my first GPS as recommended by a friend, though I have used others in rentals and borrowed. I took it on a long trip where I was driving alone and I found it to be very frustrating at times. While in Durango Colorado it wouldn't find a road that was clearly there. I had to go on Google maps and get there that way. Some of it is not as intuitive as others. It takes me a few different tries to remember how to change states so I can put in a new location in a new state. And I haven't had any trouble with others I have used. And it didn't tell me to make a turn until it was about .3 miles from the turn and I could use a little more of a heads up when I am somewhere unfamiliar. But perhaps I need to use it more and read the manual - which is does not come with and I have yet to find the one for this specific model on their web site. I would have bought a simpler, cheaper one.

I absolutely love this navi system. I have been using it for almost 2 months and it is simple to use and does pretty well on the navigation. Sometimes, when you know the direction you are going, you might be able to find a slightly faster route, but usually not by much. I love the traffic feature, it is accurate and simple to understand. I have not used the bluetooth portion yet, not had a reason/chance to do any updates, so cannot comment on that. I like the feature which lets you save your own google map onto the system. From all of the navi's I have used and seen, this is the best one yet.
