Garmin E06680 - Garmin nuvi 265WT GPS w/ 4.3" Diag. Screen,Case& Traffic

Need directions? Follow the leader! From one of the leading manufacturers of personal navigation systems, this Garmin nuvi 265WT GPS device combines the features you want and the superior quality you demand--all at a price you can afford. Text-to-speech technology pronounces street names as it guides you turn by turn to your end destination. The integrated traffic receiver--along with a lifetime subscription to NAVTEQ RDS traffic info--alerts you to trouble spots so you can avoid gridlock and arrive where you're going on time. If you're still running behind schedule, don't worry: Bluetooth technology--compatible with numerous cell phones--lets you call from the road to inform friends, family, or work colleagues that you'll be a little late. The built-in microphone and speaker let you talk hands-free while you focus on the road. Plus, you can dial directly on the touchscreen keypad, and enjoy one-touch dialing for contacts and points of interest. To answer a call, just tap the screen and you're connected. Don't get steered wrong: get the GPS unit that's packed with performance functions, affordably priced, and backed by the name you can trust. From Garmin. Lifetime traffic extends for the useful life of your Garmin traffic receiver (as long as you own a compatible Garmin GPS) or as long as Garmin receives traffic data from its traffic supplier, whichever is shorter. Traffic content not available for all areas. See www.navteq.com/rdstraffic for traffic coverage areas.

"I was hesitant about spending the money on this item but I ordered it. My husband was upset when it arrived as he didn't think we would ever use it. It has paid for itself and he no longer thinks it was a waste of money. We were on our way to MI and there was a wreak and traffic was backed up for miles. I hit the detour button and it took us off the exit we were right by, around Dayton, OH and right back on the interstate in no time and the traffic was still stopped behind us. That one time and my husband thinks it is the greatest thing "we" ever bought. He had me buy one for our 26 year old daughter for Christmas this year so she can get around Nashville and doesn't call for us to mapquest. She loves it. I would recommend anyone who drives to buy one of these..."

"I have loved this product so far. It has been accurate every time I've used it. The battery lasts long enough for normal driving and car charger for long hauls. The only thing I didnt't care for was the voice prompts. They are somewhat difficult to understand. Still I would say it was wort every penny."

"I was replacing my Tom Tom because the Garmin voices directional turns and street names instead of distance in yards, I am a poor judge of distance. I used the nuvi on three occasions and every time had difficulty locating satellites which was a concern at times as I did not know where my next turn or turnoff would be. I am going back to the Tom Tom for now."

"This is not our first GPS. First of all, there is a distorted voice sounds like it has been fried or drowned that pops up randomly right out of the box. I can deal with that I think. Then while looking for real estate, it sent us on wild goose chases ending up in the ghetto, vacant lots or in a city park at a baseball field rather than the place we were to meet the realtor! Wasted day and opportunity. On the first trip, it was constantly loosing sattellite even tho I was on the major interstates where cell phones have no problem. I could understand if I was going into the country. The first Garmin was perfect, but stolen. The Tom Tom had better features but the volume was not loud enough to be heard while driving. BUMMER!"

"I am directionally challenged and from a small town so when I go to the city it's a scary experience. I used this and drove from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington to Utah and back (different routes) as easily as if I was driving across town. This has given me so much confidence. I LOVE IT!
The other great thing is when we got tired of driving on this road trip, I used it to find nearby hotels, then used the bluetooth to call them to check on rates and availability, with a simple press of a button. If I didn't know an exact address but knew what town I wanted, I would just type in Main Street (most places have one) and it would take me to the heart of the town. I would never have done that without this GPS. Since I've raved to my friends and family, two more of these models have been purchased and they love them too!

"I purchased since I was doing a lot of traveling for work in Boston, not sure how many of you have been there but to say the least its a challenge and map quest just wasnt getting it done--this has been a life saver, even if i make a wrong turn it quickly recalculates and gets me back on track and I really like the fact that she speaks the street names when turns are necessary as opposed to only the distance in other models--taking to San Francisco and Napa Valley next!"

"I've only really got to use this once, just got it about a week ago, but it sure was a lifesaver. I had to get to a surprise birthday party and was given vague directions but I did have the destinatation address and it took us right to it, no problem at all. Alot of other family members got lost and were late arriving. The only ones who didn't have a problem with directions were the ones of us who had a GPS device. My parents were with me and now they want one, they were impressed at how accurate it was. It even gives the arrival time based on the speed you're driving. Once my Mom passed a turn she should have made (her fault, not the Nuvi) and it immediately re-routed and began giving us the next turn we should take to correct it. I am very directionally "challenged" :) and I got it honest from both my parents, so I never want to be without one of these again! By the way, I bought the little bean baggie non-skid mount to use with it and it's great too. Didn't slide around even one time! I can just put the Nuvi in my purse when I get where I'm going and slip the bean baggie thing under the seat, very discreet. No worries about someone breaking into my car to try and steal my GPS! This is a must have nowadays for anyone who travels much at all. I hope they get more in stock because I know my parents want one now!"

"I love this GPS- it is easy to use, easy to read, good size screen. Only 4 stars as I find in my hometown there are a lot of newer roads, subdivisions, malls, restaruants not mapped- newer as in 2 years or older. And there is no update available. We are taking to Europe next month- cost 150 to download all of europe but if we rent a gps there- 9 per day- 2 weeks- same difference"

"Have been putting off getting this GPS mainly because couldn't afford it, but when I saw it on payment plan, decided to give it a try. It was easy to set up, took a little to find the sound, but, after I found it great. We live in Oregon and use it now instead of looking places up on the web. For, I use to use the Web, but a lot of times they were hard to follow. This is so much easier. In fact, when I travel I will take it with me. I really like the fact that I purchased the 4.3" screen. Anyone can use this and should even for everyday use its GREAT. I've put address in for the entire family just in case we ever get to travel. Great that it is portable and rechargeable. Nice not to have to have additional BATTERIES just plug into PC or Car. Plus, having Life Time Maps help, for I have priced those and they can get to be expensive. Haven't used the Blue Tooth yet, but, that is next."

"We had tried the other well known brand and hated it. It was terrible and we had to return it. So, being rather skeptical about purchasing another system, I was apprehensive about the Garmin. However, boy was I ever fooled. This system is great. Very, very helpful on a vacation we took (we had never been to this city). Would have spent half our trip looking for directions or, worse yet, getting lost. This unit had none of the problems we had with the other unit. I would highly recommend this unit."

"I purchased a Garmin Nuvi 260W last year from QVC to replace an outdated Magellan (does not support our new computer Apple OS X). I've been using this Nuvi faithfully for over a year, even took it with me to Norway last summer (using an optional Norway SD Map). It worked wonderful, and did not get lost once while in Norway. My wife has a Garmin StreetPilot C320 which we are replacing & retiring. I will give her the Nuvi 260W and I just purchased a Nuvi 265WT, from QVC, for me. I never got lost with either the StreetPilot or the Nuvi nor the Magellan - all three works great, but the Magellan was not upgradable especially since we purchased an Apple iMac which Magellan does not support. Wont opt for another brand will keep faithful with Garmin!"

"I love this Garmin; it's easy to use right out of the box. It's taken us to all our destinations and I love all the points of interest especially when traveling. It's even nice to look at restaurants in the local area ---- we usually go to the same restaurants time after time and this helps give us other choices of restaurants we've forgotten about. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the live traffic function since I commute into DC everyday.
The voice directions/speaker volume works great on my unit --- I've returned other units because the voice/directions were intelligible.
While there is Bluetooth capability it seems some of the less stellar reviews about this GPS unit is about Bluetooth issues (I've not had any problems). This is a GPS DEVICE ........ if anyone really wants a GPS unit, you should not hesitate to purchase this unit."

"This is an great item. I purchase this a few weeks ago and finally used it to my trip from Texas to Oklahoma City, and I did not get lost once, it was so easy to follow, with turn by turn instructions, made it so easy to get around, I loved it.
We found a church, shopping area, restaurants, and atm all with the touch of a button.
I love the blue booth, what a great feature; the clarity of the voice is terrific.
I would encourage you to buy if, do not hesitate, it is one of the best thing I have purchased at QVC, and at easy pay, you can not go wrong."

"I bought a Tom Tom without bluetooth, very happy with it, but saw this one, liked the features it had over my other one, and wanted to compare them and give the one I lke the least away, but the speaker is distorted sounding, apparently others have the same issue. Only used it for one short trip, 5 miles so cannot tell how well it works otherwise, I will keep the new one coming to me if it sounds better but if not will send it back and go with the tom tom. It is not as user friendly as the tom tom but once you get the hang of it it makes sense mostly."

"I have been doing a lot of research on which GPS to purchase and came to the conclusion that this was the one for me. There are so many features available in this particular GPS and the price is amazing. I cant really say what the bluetooth is like because my car is bluetooth enabled and that is what I use for my phone. This is very easy to use and very accurate. I like the fact it shows the speed limit where you are and simutaneously shows the speed you are driving. My husband owns a car with a built in GPS and this one has almost as many features as that one does, and his is top of the line. I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this GPS to anyone that is considering purchasing one. It is jam packed full of features, easy to use, ready out of the box . You wont be dissappointed"
