As considerably as the Nuvi 265WT is the matter, it's been functioning nicely. I think I've had one crash in the couple months I have been making use of this Garmin, but it seemed to reboot itself instantly and continued right exactly where it left off, without having me obtaining to retype in destination. The current interface is all round wonderful, but I skip the integrated compass route I recall the 350 obtaining.
3Dimensional View
The 3Dimension land point is a lot more of a hype in my opinion, as it minimizes contrast of the map and can make it harder for me to see the shown info. "Display map" pulls up a Three-Dimensional land zoomed out huge roadmap of the all round road dialed in, subject matter to the very same cluttered show with bad contrast mentioned earlier. It would also be great for right away-following directions to be listed appropriate right after the following route under the common map + path hybrid view, eg. Consider exit ramp on proper, and immediately get above three lanes to the left after you merge onto the next highway. So that you can bring a left turn at the traffic-light a 100 yds right after the merge.
Following utilizing an older Nuvi 350 for a couple years, the more rapidly response and shorter startup times for the Nuvi 265 WT GPS Navigation are appreciated. Even though this is regarded as to be portion of the inferior series of the Nuvi's, it comes with attributes that much surpass a basic model, traffic, picture viewing, blue tooth cell phone link). I cannot fault Garmin, as it's a matter of broadcast hitting the individuals who process the FM traffic report.
One more thing to point out is that the traffic rerouting would seem automatic ONLY when you initial turn on the Gps, or when your existing path is just extremely very negative. This indicates that I'll seldom use the unit's constructed-in battery, and also that the battery will most probably have a shorter lifespan considering that it'll continuously be in charging mode (assuming it behaves like laptop batteries).
I have not employed the blue-tooth features and have gone through that the Gps is limited to acting just as a speaker/mic and dial-pad. Importantly, access to the phonebook doesn't seem to be available through the device according to other users, but yet again I can't fault Garmin, because I envision it would be a nightmare to assist increased performance with each and every bluetooth-capable telephone, as they all appear to have diverse O.S. interface.
Disappointingly, the mounting program is really standard (you must bend the plastic clips to remove it)and not nearly as good as the spring-loaded release mechanism featured in the better Nuvis (our older 350, and the really comparable appearing 750). This, coupled with the reality that the electrical power/FM transmitter is plugged directly into the backside and not centered (so it is somewhat unbalanced) creates one particular-handed detachment of the Gps navigation practically extremely hard. I miss how the electrical power plugged into the cradle of our older 350 that produced it genuinely basic to carry the Gps navigation with us when we left the automobile.
