Great GPS for the price

Overall this Garmin 265WT GPS is full of features for the price. The initial setup was relatively easy, however it took a little bit longer than I imagined (about 45 minutes) just to reach the first contact with the 3 satellites. The unit comes with lifetime traffic updates, which I will have to wait and see if that is useful or not. Most features were easy to use, but the user manual is not detailed enough for me. I went right to my computer to easily connect & register the unit and download the one free update to the maps. Keep in mind that the download for this unit was over 2 GB. After installing the updated map, the GPS stopped working properly as it had no idea of where it was (in this case Ohio). I contacted tech support, who were able to help me solve the issue in a friendly, polite manner. It turned out that something wasn't quite right with the new uploaded map, which was downloaded to a PowerPC Macintosh iBook. I re-downloaded the map from a Windows XP computer, installed  more

Ughhhhhhh

I swore never to buy sony again after my last DVD cam screen stopped working but here i am again.
What sucks;
Can only film i wide screen format.
Must use SONY PICTURE UTILITY to import video. IT IS SLOW AND ANNOYING AND GENERALLY SUCKS. THEN THE VIDEO MUST BE CONVERTED TO ENABLE TO USE ANY PROGRAM OTHER THAN SONY.
AGAIN THIS IS SLOW AND ANNOYING AND I FEEL UNNECESSARY BUT FOR SOME REASON SONY CAN NOT RESIST DOING IT THIS WAY. MOST LIKELY I WILL THROW THIS CAMERA INTO THE TRASH JUST FOR THIS REASON.
Only Adobe sucks more when it comes forcing library features down the throats of the consumers.
I can only assume this is because we would never use their software unless forced to.
If you still feel you must buy this camera, email me and i will sell you this Piece of **** for half price

Good GPS

Overall the unit is a good GSP. I feel it is a great buy for the money. It has all the important features that I need for my delivery business. I have not used the POI much. The blue toothpoor quality. It is poor because of voice quality and background noise. I do not recommend anyone buying it for that feature. Also, as with all GPS devices, the maps are one to two years out of date. Even the recent down load missed several new streets in my area that have been in service for one to two years.

Great GPS...all the features for the price

this is a great gps...the Google search is priceless...pretty much unlimited points of interest...it is durable and the interface is much improved over previous models...the weather and Google search work well but the gas buddy shows prices that seem a little dated...the movie look up is awesome...it even gives a synapses of what the movie is about and current show times...the blue tooth volume is a little low and multi-route option is nice...the ability to send locations to your gps from Google maps via your PC is just sweet...so far no problems or crashes( i have had this for about 3 weeks)...oh and it is miopocket mod-able with a little tweaking.

great gps

Everything about this is great except the traffic delay notification. That sucks, I cant even use it, it tells me theres going to be a delay after the fact, doesnt give me a chance to reroute before I get on the highway. Other than that, its great. The speed limit indicator is very helpful and the text read function is also nice.

More bang for your buck

My wife has had the Nuvi 755 for a couple of years and when I bought the 255 I expected to see a dramatic difference,because of the cost difference, and I did not. This unit gives you a lot of bang for your buck.

BEST CAMERA EVER

I purchased the camers for a trip to Disney with wife, children, and grandchildren. I recordered everything in high quality HD. When we got home we could not believe the quality of the picture and sound. It even shot great in low light conditions. I shot the fireworks and they came out great. I took movies of the night parade and they are great. I could not believe the differance between this and a regulad camcorder. THe only thing is you need a blue ray burner to record the movies. A regular dvd only hold 30 minuites of HD high quality. It took 10 DVD's to put it on disk. I have since upgraded to a blue ray burnner and everything is well. I would highly recommend this camcorder to anyone who has the money.

Great GPS, Buy Lifetime map update

This is a great gps unit, but I would recommend getting the garmin lifetime map update for this item. I got my lifetime map update at Autonavdirect.com

Very Good GPS

This GPS unit is replacing an older unit of a different brand that was ok, but had some issues... Overall the Garmin is all good, and the online acess and software is compatible with apple, so that is a plus for me, no complaints as of yet, I'll keep you posted!!

It's great!

This being my first gps unit I've had, I can't compare it to others but I'm very impressed with it's accuracy. Except that, after we arrived at our destination, I set it to the return home directions and it took me to some very bad roads. I was familiar with the homeward route but I wanted to 'check out' the unit by following its suggestions. But the bottom line is that it got us right home to our driveway. As to other features, I'm still learning.

There must be better units out there for the money

The first time we tried using the unit it could not find Greeley Colorado. After much work on our part, it finally located the city but only had one route to get us there. Both features "shortest distance" and "fastest route" turned out to be the same paths given althought the Interstate (which it wouldn't use) would have been the best choice.

Garmin 60csx

This GPS was a huge improvement from my old Garmin 12. It is easy to navigate around the system. I haven't used it a whole lot yet but so far I really like it. The battery life is exceptional compared to my old GPS. I don't like the fact that it seems I have to recalibrate the electronic compass every once in a while for it to give me the right direction but other than that I don't have any other complaints.

Much better than last year's version

I used the 2008 Insignia Internet GPS for nearly a full year. When the new one came out, I upgraded to the 2009 model. This year's version is much better. The maps are prettier, and the overall user interface is much improved over last year. My main complaint is that it is still too bulky for me to carry in my purse. Overall though I've had no problems and would highly recommend this GPS.

Pretty awesome toy!

After doing extensive web research, this was the best GPS at a great price. My only CON is that I can not get my Treo 650 to work properly on it through the Bluetooth. Otherwise is great.

Great mount

Bean Bag mount fits nicely on dash; very good quality. Makes GPS much easier to use and see. It's much better than mounting on the winshield. Stores easily in my glove box.

GOOD UNIT

The only problem I encountered was to make a turn at a road that was dead ended. It was never opened. I like the feature were if you miss a turn the unit re-calculates and has you directed back to your destination.

WONDERFUL PRODUCT

Found this product on sale at my local Best Buy for $199 and decided to give it a try. I had never thought i needed a GPS having the typical male mindset about directions but told myself i was buying it for my wife to use. Was i wrong!!! I ended up using this wonderful piece of equipment every chance i get mainly to help me get around the constent traffic jams where i live. Its always accurate, stays connected, updates at blazing speeds to find alternate routes, bright screen for sunny days, very easy to learn interface, simple menus, long battery life on one charge...I could go on and on about how much i love my Garmin nuvi 1300T but i will end this by saying go buy one and see for yourself. You wont be dissapointed!!!

Great gps

I picked this up for a great price and it works great. Acquires signal fast from within my home with 9 satellites. 5 inch screen is great, though it still has the resolution of a 4.3 inch screen. I dont use hands free calling or voice input (not hard to plug in data). Has alot of POI which is a big plus. Storage is 2gb internal memory. It routes very fast, in a manner of seconds. The retail price is $299. I would not pay that much for this. If you can get this gps for $200 or less then pick it up.

Good Buy for Price

Worked great out of the box. Set-up was easy and works well. A good value for $80. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but super for the casual user.

Works like a charm

Works just like one would expect a GPS to work. Nice features for the price. But I cannot figure out the traffic option (but I have not played with it that much yet). The manual that comes in the box is almost useless. It would be nice if it came with a wall charger also, you can only charge it through USB or automobile power.
