Garmin’s Nuvi 265WT is a multi-featured GPS navigation system designed to provide drivers and travelers with precise turn-by-turn directions. While very similar to the Nuvi 265T, this device features a 4.3” widescreen display, an SD Card slot (opposed to microSD), and the choice of a QWERTY or ABC keyboard. 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 265WT also features faster satellite communication, and photo navigation so one can use landmarks for added confidence when navigating. The Nuvi 265WT comes pre-loaded 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.
