Garmin nüvi 265WT Customer reviews
- Good unit for the price, John S. Dean
Spent a weekend in review the various GPS devices to replace my less than 1 years old Mio C320 (they avoid like the plague), the battery is dying around 4 months after the purchase had. In the coming and going along the entireRange of Garmin devices, and finally on it for the Blue Tooth and transport settled, none of which I ‘ll probably almost never use, but to have beautiful, when I want.I was disappointed with the card, the “new ” in 2009 because I have a few streets in my neighborhood who re more than four years and it ‘not found on this device. Even the piece of junk had millions of those roads.
But it ’s About the only disadvantage of the port only reason why I ‘ t5 stars given.
Were used for the IMU, and the horrible frame rate is a nice change, a liquid, scroll my vehicle is in motion to see. The ability to change the vehicle icon is nice, especially with the plethora of icons on the Garmin website.
The accuracy is very good, and even in the corners of the device ISN ‘t delay, so that it becomes annoying. And unlike what I had with the MIO, when I come to a standstill at the interface used, the map doesn ‘t start rotatinghappened to me.
The President is about to hear, as I expected, won ‘t much more powerful, but a stereo crank it up enough, you can hear at least if you keep the music a little.
The ability to easily download voice is also estimated.
He did well with my attempts to go from point to point, follow the instructions, and above all, you ‘re instructions in time. only once or twice he did not tell me “, turn right on a particular ” until I about 20 meters from the roadBut that was when I climbed up on the slow and stop signs, so that it can compensate for the speed factor.
Opinion recalculation is a bit embarrassing if my MIO again, sometimes it is called three times before it begins, the alternative route.
Still about 900 MB of internal memory for additional voices, symbols, maps and other, and with the SD slot, there ’s plenty of room to grow.
I have a Verizon XV6900 phone with Windows Mobile 6.1, and whileBluetooth paired well and he can see the phone status, battery, signal, and even from the list of missed calls, you will never find in the directory. it will be a random input, and there ’s it – so when I address myself is, I come from a user to choose, and c different every time. Still Haven ‘t follow that one yet. But all other options, Bluetooth worked just fine.
I ‘m not a fan of the cable thick double power, but as it, and it would be doubly a shame (no pun intended) when IThey rode on top of hanging somewhere in the window for the double cable.
I can see how ads will sometimes boring, sometimes (the market is free because it is advertising driven), but you ‘don t get at all when you turn traffic on, and as most of my behavior ISN ‘ t leave at the time that traffic may be a concern, I did once, if I really work for him.
Good response to the command finger, and the quality if the camera is typically much better thanMIO, I miss the IMU ’s ability to have an area in the last third of the screen and map on the first two thirds of it, if desired. But there ‘part of the information available within the bubbles of data on the top and bottom of survival for I ‘ ll.
Overall satisfaction with the device, it works well and worth the cost.
- Best GPS I have ever Owned , John K
I have this camera to Christmas 2008. Even if this is the first GPS, I ‘ve owned, ve I ‘ on many passengers travel with a friend, so I already Nuvi has for 350 with the Garmin. The camera, which I bought was the 2009 card and the firmware is fairly young. Firmware, etc. has been the latest version (s) updated.
My choice fell on the nüvi 265WT, 765T, or 760th The 760 is a premium device for one low price, because it ’s in the model in recent years, while the 765T has the features Iwanted, but it is still expensive, because it ‘the new model. Ultimately, I decided, because 265WT P / new features, the 760 didn ‘t have to spend to upgrade and price I was willing to. I do not really take into consideration other brands, but I think that other brands offer more than “frills”, but can be in the areas of usability and reliability.
The device works fine, no problems, per se, but my actual time spent has been limited (spent lotsjust enough time to “play ” with him, though).[Updated 9/11/09]
I ‘ve now used for a week of commuting to work or shopping. I used to travel because of the traffic reports.- Traffic n ‘ve met a backup, he didn ‘ t tell me, but they are commanded by a few non-existing backups. I ‘ve also found that it may take several minutes for traffic to be shown right after the start, sometimes * after * has chosen the path.
Routing – The route that gives meWork is very strange. It routes me off the freeway in the fast lane that has multiple lights. I tried it once, and of course it’s taken longer than expected, even with little traffic.
- Reliability The device, “glitched ” 3 times in the last week. Once it dissolves, another time he fell off the map on the display of the speedometer) (in itself, while the voice is very distorted, and even adjusting the backlight is not, as I had left.
[End of 9/1/09Update]My biggest complaint has to do with the database of POI. For example, I searched for local cinema ’s. .. it lacks the 20-screen cineplex, the closer to me. If I go to the Staples office locations offer the next was, he found himself 50 miles, although there are at least 4 at least 15 miles. I don ‘t show a group of weapons in the vicinity of Britannia. A large regional mall is still called by a name that was abandoned 5 years ago. etc. ..
The software POI management (such asIS) can use more flexibility. For example, in the search for Staples, the device is “Busy Search ” for some time. There seems no way to limit the search distance.
I think to update the policy map is required in a revision. In two months, “Grace ” is not really fair to the buyers. Most of them are sold in November and December, and the maps are usually updated in the spring, beyond the threshold of 60 days. Garmin should be updated to ensure the card for at least 6 months to one year. Or,A free update in 2 years or something like that. Another gripe is the call for a Garmin “account ” to register the device. But remember another username and password.[Updated 1/9/09]
At CES 2009 Garmin announced a new policy of the updated map. For $ 120 you will receive updates for life ( “on ” 4) times per year, while a single update is $ 69 which I think () is less than before.
