Good Unit
This is my second gps unit, the first being a Magellan 3070, which, also refurbished, has been a very good tool.
I updated the maps on it two years ago, and for the most part, it hits the bulls eye. Occasionally it gets a
glitch and goes off on a short tangent, but usually gets me back on track. This Garmin nuvi 265WT is a much
better unit, with a larger screen, better graphics, and of course, traffic reports. There are banner ads accompanying the reports, but not bothersome. My son bought one of these last year(also refurbished) and has
been extremely happy with his.
Annoying Issues for the Novice User
Generally the unit is fine, and a great travel aid. It has some nice features which are not obvious, and one has to stumble into them with use. A few issues cropped up in use for me that are worth mentioning:
1) I find the traffic info really marginally useful. I began a trip from Baltimore to Arlington VA with about a 50 min initial ETA which actually took 120 min. Never did the traffic indicator show more that about 10 min delay.
2) One has to use a little care with finding things like gas stations en route. I was running low on gas and, selected a gas station that appeared to be in the right direction, and was 2.1 miles away. Must have been as the crow flies–and not by route mapping, because it took more than 6 miles to get there, and a river crossing. Was quite a bit out of my way–though I selected it because I thought it wouldn’t take me out of my way.
3) Traveling in not very northern Canada–there is a strong tendency for the unit to select small cut-offs to save time in its routing, which can take you over many unpaved roads. In reality, this often saves no time and puts a lot of unnecessary wear on your car.
4) Most of the time the unit pops up quick and can find satellites. I had one occasion in California when it took about 120 seconds.
Its definitely good to keep a paper map along.
Wrong cradle size 
I ordered this GPS unit from Amazon. I got the maps upgraded from the garmin website – not a big deal. But later I found out that the cradle which was inside the box was of smaller size. The GPS unit would not fit into the cradle. I got the package replaced by Amazon within 3 days. Everything seems to be working fine inside the new package. Just a waste of time upgrading maps in 2 units!
Great product, when it works
Randomly goes dead upon initial start up. Sometimes freezes enroute. Maps are 90% accurate. Nice equipment other than reliability issues. Purchased a few months ago and will replace with TomTom soon.
GARMIN NUVI is a good product overall.
Expect to use 2 hours of set up time. You will have to connect to the internet to download updates initially. This Garmin Nuvi is easy to use once it is set up.
Pros: VOICES: There are other voice choices other than the standard voice. I like the Squirrel voice as it sounds like one of the chipmunks and on long drives will make random statements (such as “do you see any trees?”). This breaks the monotony on long drives. BLUE TOOTH: The Blue Tooth phone option is great for driving as the Garmin also acts as a speaker phone. SPEED LIMIT: There is also a display that tells you the speed limit. This is a good feature when you don’t know the speed limit and are on long drives. MOUNT: It also came with a mount that holds the Garmin securely. CHARGER: The Garmin Nuvi also came with a car charger, although the internal battery is good for about 2 hours without a recharge.
Cons: It is about 80% accurate on the speed limit display. I have encountered some occasions where the speed limit was 70 and the display stated 65. If the Blue tooth on the Garmin looses connection with your phone, it does not automatically reconnect. You have to go to the screen option and reconnect. The reconnect is not clear and will require either playing with the controls or turning off the Garmin and turning it back on to reconnect to the phone. (It may lose connection while traveling if, while wearing your cell phone, you go inside a convenience store or go beyond 30 ft from your car). On residential homes, sometimes (not always) it is off by 2 or 3 houses, but it gets you within a couple of houses. If you have the house address, this is no problem to overcome.
