Comments about GARMIN NUVI 265T Portable GPS Navigation System:

Great value for a great price. It adds Bluetooth, Spoken Street Names, and Lifetime Traffic to the popular Nuvi 205. The only thing I think could be better is that it often thinks I am still on the feeder when I get on a highway. It fixes itself after a while, but it is annoying when it says the speed limit is still 45 MPH when it has gone up to 70.

Comments about GARMIN NUVI 265T Portable GPS Navigation System:

Not only does the Garmin provide voice prompts with amazing pronounciation of street names (not just left and right), but the Bluetooth is great. Eliminates the need to wear the ear piece on long road trips. Integrated with my Samsung Phone even though it was not listed as an acceptable model of phone. Easy to use and set up.
