i got this for navigating through New York City area, but found that it did not pick up any of the traffic jams we ran into. in the DC area, it has worked for me, re-routing around traffic jams on main routes. but for city streets at rush hour, it was way off. another complaint about long distance travel-- it often would tell me that i was turning in X miles onto... the same route! just annoying. but I have to say, it does get me where i want to go. i've had no problems with accuracy of maps. the refurbished unit i got seems like new.

Nom de Plume
Just bought this, and I love it. It's very easy to use and to set up. The only downside is that I have a convertible, and with top down and surrounding noise, it's a bit hard to hear sometimes. I live in an area where cars are regularly broken into to steal GPSs, so I like that the suction cup holder is easy to remove from the windshield..and that the GPS itself is thin and fits into my purse or into the glove compartment. "Daniel" realizes quickly when I get off his route and recalculates quickly. I suppose it would be nice to have a "stay off major highways" option, but I'm not sure if any GPS offers that .

It is a great GPS. It is my second. After over a year, the first one fell & hit the gear shift cracking the internal screen. Didn't find another for the features & price I liked better. Searches could be better. Sometimes when you look for a spelled out name at another location, it searches forever and never seems to find it.
Garmin Nuvi 265 WT September 5, 2010

After starting our trip using AT&T Navigator on my cell phone and having it freeze up for most of the afternoon, and even worse, just as we were pulling into Washington DC at 11:00 PM, I knew we had to have something better. I checked reviews for GPS units and found that the Nuvi 265WT had excellent feedback from professionals and other users alike. I immediately ordered it and had it sent to my hotel. The rest of our 2 week trip driving all around the eastern and mid-west portions of the country was great.
The only problem we had was in finding one particular street in Buffalo, New York. For some reason, it did not come up on the 265WT. Other than that, I love this unit!
I love that the 265WT shows both speed limit and actual driving speed. I was even more impressed when I would see a change of speed limit sign upcoming on the road and find that the 265WT would update to the new speed as I was passing the sign. I love the traffic alerts and rerouting option. The multiple waypoints are also very handy for drives having multiple stops without having to re-program the unit after each one. I have not tried the bluetooth capability so cannot speak to that yet.
Overall, I have been extremely happy with the Nuvi 265WT!
