Garmin Nuvi 255W or 265W: Am i right?

I want to know the same thing. I would like to try the Bluetooth, provided the 265W is as good and reliable, and has as good reviews as the 255W. Anyone had bad experiences with the 265W? Thanks, Gary

The way to tell for sure is to find the same product on the Garmin site, where there is a very long list of compatible devices (most if not all of the ones that have a micro-SD slot). I'm sorry I didn't notice the 1350, but it does support my Nuvi 2555LM.

AFAIK, Garmin uses the same routing algorithm as older units. However, I've heard complaints that the new ones can take you to routes that mystifies some users. I can't confirm this (my 765t pretty much routes me like my older 260 ... all things being equal, i.e., same settings). This is not to say my Garmin units' routing are spot on, they aren't always.

Really don't know but the Garmin nuvi 3597 LMTHD is awesome -- the best one I have ever owned

Good info...and thanks for the link. I have an 8GB Class 6 and it is working fine in the nuvi 855.

The 255 has a better processor, so it diplays information quicker and hold the sattellite signal much better. It also shows the speed limit of the road you are on. Other than that, there is nothing to speak of.

I wondered about that too .. although I'd trust Garmin's website and other 3rd party discussion sites ... the ?70 units are built to contain maps for both continents, and the ?80 are the first one's with MSN Direct. Perhaps there'll be a future ?90 (390/690) range that combines the two sets of new features? :) For now, I'm just wondering whether tot ake the plunge with the 660 and its FMt raffic/preloaded POIs, or wait for the MSN-direct 680 to be released (April?)!

Looks to me like they're pushing Nuvis. Type garmin in google and go to the manufacturer's site. You can compare 4 side by side at a time.

I have used this card in the Garmin Nuvi 660 and the Garmin Nuvi 265W. It works great in both devices.

I guess it would - mine is a Nuvi 255w, and I would guess there's not a huge difference between that and the 265w. The card is supposed to work in all Nuvi's.

Thank you. Sounds good. Now I want to find it in combo with the NuMaps Lifetime. Nuvi combo have the NuMaps Lifetime for $50 extra, but I can't find this with a combo yet.----------------Garmin said the one with lifetime update for maps (3790LMT) would be out in September, keep checking their website. Said the cost was $499.99. I hate to spend that money, but am getting the voice activated one for safety reasons. Said it was shipped to Best Buy, but I can find it only in Canada...

Sorry, I have no idea. My Garmin is a 255W, so I can't help you. Again, sorry.

I'm actually gathering info to buy one right now. I ruled out the 200 & 205 because I really do want the voice directions while driving rather than having to read the screen. Right now I'm looking at the 250w, 255w, 260w & 265w.

Please read my earlier post which explains why your unit is the 265WT if you received the FM traffic receiver cord with your device. When I turn on my garmin it shows 265W but it becomes the 265WT when the FM traffic cord is attached to the GPS.

Anna sorry I don't know. I bought for a Garmin Nuvi 255W, which it works perfectly for.

Thank you!I was worried because I saw those SD card maps on Garmin's web site are quite expensive.In fact, I had been checking Costco web site for 650 for the past few days, but it is always out of stock .....I will come back and purchase 250W is the 650 is really unavailble to meThank you

My read of the customer reviews supports the notion that the 255W is a terrific unit. Thanks for your reply.
