The 265W has quite a bland design, but it is compact and slim. This is also true of the window mount, which is small and easy to remove; a benefit should you use the unit in multiple vehicles. A power slide key is the only button on the unit; operation focuses entirely on the touch screen. An SD card slot allows extra maps or other data to be uploaded, and a regular mini-USB connection handles charging and synchronising. Less

The Value of Navigation

by nachodehopkins , Feb 13, 2009
Pros: Traffic

This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: With the economy in its "G.B. state" and many consumers tightening their belts, manufacturers have had to improve the value of their products.  Garmin, already a company known for making quality products, has decided to raise the bar by keeping...

Very nice basic navigation system with a couple extra bells and whistes

by alanp , Jan 5, 2009
Pros: Full-featured for a budget model.  Navigation routing works well.  4.3" display is a good size
