A very helpful product.,

One of the main things that I was looking for in a GPS was one that would be simple to program and use and the Garmin nuvi 265WT 4.3" Screen GPS Navigation is very easy to use.
I bought the GPS for my next vacation to help me get around city streets. In the mean time, I have been practicing with it on routes that I am already familiar with. It doesn't always give the best routes to take. It has taken me to some remote, round-about ways and through traffic, but it will get you to where you are going. And, that is important if you are in unfamiliar areas.
I like the way it tells you in advance which way to turn, calls off the name of the street, and then when you approach the turn, tells you again. You have plenty of warning in advance of all turns to take.
I like the larger screen, and I am glad that I paid a little more for it.
It shows how fast you are going, and also gives the speed limit of where you are at.
If you miss your turn, it will quickly recalculate and get you going again in the right direction, so it would seem to be impossible to get lost with it.
With a touch of the finger you can scroll the map and see your planned route. The street names come up before you approach them and makes it easy to know where you are going.
Overall, I am very pleased with it, and would recommend it to others.
