Comments about Garmin nuvi® 265WT Portable GPS:

Easy to program and on screen picture is very helpful. Visual arrow tells you which direction you will be turning next and voice tell you when to turn and the name of the street to turn on. I especially like the favorites list where you can program more than one destination before travel and just push the favorites list and selection the correction location, quick and easy.

Comments about Garmin nuvi® 265WT Portable GPS:

I am using this unit for sales visits to cities where I don't know my way around very good.

I am still learning how to use it and navigate around on it. I have to remember that this unit is not set up to work like a computer based map program, once I get used to that idea I'll be able to set up my trips better.

I have tried the blue tooth for my phone, works ok if I am not going very fast and have a good signal. Haven't used this feature enough to say yea or nay on it.
