   Very good GPS. Have purchased the same item several times due to a crime wave in my area. Occasionally, the diretions miss their mark. I also wish garmin would update their systems more frequently. One system purchased six months ago had the same data as my recent purchase, even though several roads were changed 5 months prior to my newest purchased. Getting a little lax garmin.

   This is my first GPS unit and it is great. Very intuitive and simple to use. Doesn’t have all the fancy bells and whistles but gets the job done for the price. Not too big and bulky also, very portable. Would definitely recommend this unit to anyone who wants a basic GPS device.

   I bought it as an upgrade to Garmin c330. I am so not impressed with features, quality of the screen and sound. The routes it pick are terrible, with many unnecessary turns. The older model c330 was way better. Even my cell phone Droid provides with more navigation features and picks better route.

   And the main reason I hate it. It broke during the trip within the second week of usage. If I didn’t have my Droid with me, I would be lost in the middle of nowhere after midnight.

   Very disappointing product.

   To be honest, I really haven’t had a chance to put this Garmin 265 through the paces I think it needs to really prove itself.

   So far, it’s been rather frustrating that it calculates a route and if one doesn’t follow it exactly (like, say, deciding to take another freeway from the one the Garmin thinks you should), that when it recalculates, the unit tries to get you back onto ITS originally calculated route.

   Well, that shouldn’t happen. It should recalculate based on the freeway you’re on (in my opinion). If there is a way to tell it to do this, or NOT stick with its original route, I haven’t found it. Anybody know?

   The above examples are, of course, testing the GPS while going to places I’ve already been. I would imagine that I will think it will work splendidly if it’s telling me to find a place that is new to me, because I won’t know any different route.

   I’m planning to take it to Philadelphia and Washington DC and work in its pedestrian mode. Might try to update this review after those trips.

   I know it’s not much help to anyone, but I’m finding my purchase to be just okay at the moment.

   I choose this garmin based on consumer magazines recommendations and it was well worth it. The blue tooth feature is the best.
