Garmin Nuvi 265WT review

 

It shares an otherwise identical feature set with its 3.5-inch-screen sibling. Although included in Garmin's 200 series of Nuvis aimed at entry-level buyers, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT includes features often found only in midlevel or premium-priced devices.

If you want an affordable 4.3-inch GPS device with the friendly Garmin navigation experience, it's hard to miss with the Garmin Nuvi 265WT. It doesn't bring much new to the genre, but it remains one of our favourites.

Garmin Nuvi 265WT review: Garmin Nuvi 265WT - Roadshow

 

Garmin Nuvi 265WT

The Garmin Nuvi 265WT offers integrated Bluetooth and a lifetime of free traffic alerts. The portable GPS also has a spacious touch screen and text-to-speech functionality.

We wish the audible traffic alerts and route recalculations were a little faster. Call quality was mixed.

Despite some minor performance issues, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT is a good value GPS, offering a number of high-end features for an affordable price.

Garmin Nuvi 265WT

 

With its relatively elegant traffic antenna and simple-to-use interface, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT makes a good case for itself.

Relatively neat traffic antenna ; Easy to use ; A QWERTY keyboard. Hurrah

Speed camera warnings are a step back ; Text-to-speech is not quite Australian

Conclusion With its relatively elegant traffic antenna and simple-to-use interface, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT makes a good case for itself. Our only real disappointment was with its speed light camera alerts, which are a step backward. Thankfully though...

Review: Garmin Nuvi 265WT GPS device

 

Navigation unit offers premium features at a budget-friendly price.

When it first shipped, Garmin broke ground by offering a built-in traffic receiver with subscription-free, advertising-supported lifetime traffic alerts. While driving, you'll occasionally get a pop-up alert for one of the advertisers, but it doesn't...
