nuvi 265T North America City Navigator GPS
(GRNUVI265T)
Pros: Easy Menus, Easy To Read, Simple Controls, Reliable Performance, Compact, Easy To Set Up, Acquires Satellites Quickly
Cons: Wrong directions
Other Comments: This product has been great so far. Only had a couple of times it gave wrong directions but it was mainly the exact location, it got us on the right road just not the right house number. We purchased this one for our son in college because we have one & he really liked it.

(GRNUVI265T)
Pros: Compact, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Easy To Set Up, Easy Menus, Reliable Performance
Cons:
Other Comments: I use it to find specific addresses in cities. I use the vocal turn by turn instructions as it is distracting to read the screen while driving. I also preview the route as the GPS sometimes doesn't pick the best route such as taking you through town when there is a bypass.

nuvi 265T North America City Navigator GPS
(GRNUVI265T)
Pros: Reliable Performance, Easy Menus, Compact, Easy To Read, Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls
Cons:
Other Comments: Good all around GPS with extra features. Blue tooth w cell phone works pretty well but like voice directions could be a bit louder when in noisy situation. Traffic warning feature OK so far, not sure if great value to me but, OK for free. Basics items like menus, controls, display, directions etc good enough but not perfect. Unit is a good value for low 100s.

Cons:
Other Comments: I used the Garmin for the first time on a trip that we had made several times before and always failed to take the correct exit around Norfolk, VA. This time with the Garmin we were able to navigate around Norfolk without any trouble. This is the reason for purchasing the Garmin.

Great GPS System

nuvi 265T North America City Navigator GPS
(GRNUVI265T)
Pros: Easy Menus, Compact, Reliable Performance, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Read
Cons:
Other Comments: I was born and raised in San Diego, but had to travel there last week to plan my upcoming wedding and was unfamiliar with the addresses as I'd never been to a lot of them before. I experienced few problems. There were times when the GPS lost the satellite signal due to overpasses, entrances onto freeways that are round, or military bases. Also, there were a few times where the GPS chose surface streets as opposed to a freeway. Overall, I'm pleased, but also believe there are improvements to be made.

nuvi 265T North America City Navigator GPS
(GRNUVI265T)
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Compact
Cons: Difficult Menus, Inaccurate
Other Comments: Have predecessor version of this Nuvi 200 series. The primary improvement that this model offers is it indicates both the distance and direction of an upcoming turn and reads aloud street names. This product claims to offer live traffic updates via an FM receiver. Unfortunately, have not found this function to work very well--one of the main reasons I bought this product. Also, opening menu layout requires a little more scroll through then I would like. Otherwise, pretty easy and intuitive to set up. Satellite acquisition better than previous--no delays and offers instructions at appropriate times so you can anticipate rather than react to upcoming turns.
Yes, I recommend this product

nuvi 265T North America City Navigator GPS
(GRNUVI265T)
Pros: Acquires Satellites Quickly, Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls, Easy Menus, Large Screen, Compact, Reliable Performance, Easy To Read
Cons:
Other Comments: I use this product to find places I have never been as well as for the traffic reporting feature. I have a long commute to work and it is helpful to estimate my arrival time and also warns of severe traffic. The only thing I do not like about this product is that it does not necessarily take you the shortest route because it will not allow you to go past your destination (ex. on a highway sometimes the exit after your destination is faster to backtrack then to take the exit prior).
Yes, I recommend this product

Pros: Compact, Easy To Set Up, Large Screen, Acquires Satellites Quickly, Easy To Read, Simple Controls
Cons: Inaccurate
Other Comments: Product adequate for most needs. Since we are unwilling to put Home into system, we enter our address instead, which this GPS states does not exist. WE know how to return home, so this is not a major problem.
