Garmin nüvi 265W/265WT 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic Review
On the first day we used it, we traveled from St.Louis, MO to Long Neck, DE. The address in DE wasnt found right away so I plugged it into my laptop and tranfered the address over in about 3 clicks. As soon as we started driving the traffic device recognized that 70E was shut down and took us a different route, saving hours of travel time. With the built in bluetooth I made every call along the trip hands free. And the built in POIs allowed us to find different types of stores easily--and then even call them from the device (with the bluetooth turned on).
This is a great device and I would recommend it to everyone.

A must have -if you often get lost, like me.
Very easy to use. This one is is good buy from Amazon.
Remember, when using a GPS, the satellite signal is cut off or weak -under bridges or tunnels.
Correct item - scarolina -
Wooks fine. I haven't used the blue tooth but may daughter has a similar one and she complains about the sound quality. But what do you expect for 0.00?
Good value but database is poor - Animesh Ray - San Diego
I've had this for one month only, but have used it extensively in LA and SD traffic. I have the latest update of route map. This is a fine piece of equipment and good value for the money, but the database is not good, in fact it is worse than the two years old database I had in my previous Gramin GPS which I never updated. While the new database that this machine uses has more coverage of newly constructed routes, the algorithm that this one uses to find the optimum route is rather poor, often choosing slightly slower and more complex alternatives (even without traffic) when the alternatives are nearly equal. The previous Gramin GPS used a better algorithm to optimize the routes. Moreover, the database to voice translation is often wierd: e.g., the voice translates "Del Mar" as "Del March" when calling out the off highway exit, but corrects to "Del Mar" when the GPS is reading it away from the freeway. This means that the translation program is supposed to recognize abbreviations on freeway markers (and not on off freeway markers) but not adequately programmed to override the abbreviation recognition feature if the semantic is unrelated to traffic signs (e.g., name of a month). Again, the previous Gramin GPS had no such problem. Another weakness is that to make a telephone call with blue tooth, one has to do two steps: menu--> telephone-->. It would have been better if the telephone touch button were available on the live map screen itself. I do not yet know if the reception is good even in cloudy weather or under trees, which used to be a problem with my previous Gramin GPS--the weather has been pretty clear here lately, and you don't have much large trees in LA areas. Overall, a good value for the money.
