Garmin Nuvi 265WT GPS: First Look
Mid level car gps offer free traffic service, with a catch
Garmin continues to expand its popular Nuvi 2x5 series, rolling out new models that make evolutionary enhancements over the older 200 series. This new product line started with the
Nuvi 205, which has minor upgrades over the Nuvi 200. Refinements continue on the Nuvi 255, which combines spoken street names and traffic capability. Now, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT builds on these models by adding Bluetooth connectivity and most notably free traffic information.
Like those other 2x5 units, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT features the latest Garmin interface, with the updated touch-screen keyboard, speed limit icons, and the "Where Am I?" feature that provides nearest intersection and can help the user find or contact the nearest emergency services.
