Garmin Nuvi 265T

Garmin’s Nuvi 265T is a multi-featured GPS navigation system designed to provide drivers and travelers with precise turn-by-turn directions. The device’s 2D and 3D mapping system is complimented by an integrated text-to-speech system, allowing motorists to keep their focus on the road instead of the GPS receiver.

Released in late 2008, this GPS has been designed to improve upon the 200-series predecessors, by adding free (ad supported) real-time traffic updates as well as hands-free Bluetooth connectivity for compatible mobile phones. Compared to the earlier 200-series, the Nuvi 265T also features faster satellite communication, a redesigned 3.5” antiglare screen interface to provide more information, and photo navigation so one can use landmarks for added confidence when navigating. The Nuvi 265T comes preloaded with North American maps and includes a mini-USB port to update map information. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery should suffice for the average trip, lasting approximately 4 hours.
