The Garmin nüvi 265W/265WT 4.3-Inch widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator with traffic might easily be Garmin’s best deal in their lower priced models. Right now the Garmin 265WT is selling for about $150 at Amazon. (That’s about the cheapest I’ve found it.) What’s so cool about the nuvi 265 WT is all of the features you get for the price.

Garmin nuvi 265WT Features

The Garmin nüvi 265W/265WT 4.3-Inch widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator with traffic, of course, has the 4.3-inch widescreen. If you’ve never owned a GPS before, and if you’re thinking about getting one of the smaller screen sizes, be aware that the 4.3-inch screen gives you a whopping 60% more viewing area! When you’re in unfamiliar territory and you’re looking for a road sign and glancing at your GPS at the same time, that extra 60% can be really meaningful.

In addition to the screen size, the nuvi 265 WT also has Bluetooth™ connectivity, so you can use it in conjunction with your cell phone. Another feature I really like is the fact that the Garmin 265 WT comes with a lifetime subscription to traffic updates from Navteq. You might have noticed that the Garmin nüvi 265W/265WT 4.3-Inch widescreen Bluetooth portable GPS navigator with traffic has a “T” after it’s name. That means that the normally optional traffic receiver comes with the device. There’s nothing else to buy.

Of course, you get the super slim design that all of Garmin’s 2X5 series has. You can take the GPS from your dashboard and slip it into your pocket or purse. It’s rechargeable battery makes it really convenient for pedestrian use.

When you get your Garmin nuvi 265 WT, it will come pre-loaded with Garmin’s City Navigator NT maps for all of North America, lifetime traffic subscription, FM traffic receiver with power cables, a suction cup mount, USB cable, and a dashboard disk.
