Advertising on the Garmin Nuvi 265WT? I now read a couple times that there is advertising appearing on this model?

All models with the "t" suffix use the ad-based "free" traffic feature. I do not find them a bother whatsoever (YMMV). Matter-of-fact, I rarely see them, especially when driving, and it's something that does not take any user input (you won't have to mess with the touch screen). After I've reached my destination an ad will pop up, but usually I've already turned my Nuvi off. Occasionally, I'll actually read the ad out of curiosity. If you hate the ads, just turn off the traffic component via tools / settings / navigation / avoidances (and uncheck traffic).

sometimes it helps if you connect your gps to the internet via usb on your computer and visit garmin.com.they have this utility called: webupdater.i've upgraded mine to 265WT because i need the USB. hands down to garmin, i have no problem with this device (only minor glitch, such as bluetooth sound sometimes disappears). good luck.

Garmin has a really good customer service team. Call them...they can answer the question for you. I've never heard of nuvi 355

Garmin, here in Canada, has admitted the Nuvi 660 has a chronic antenna problem. My only solution is to have it replaced with a refurb unit at Garmin's Canadian tech contractor for $305.00That's a lot to spend on a $600 piece of technology only 14 months old.Shame on Garmin....and shame on me for making the purchase....

I would need to see these other ads you refer to, but my guess would be that some new destinations were added along the way and perhaps your 35 set was older edition of this model number?

Well after a couple weeks of going back and forth, I finally decided to buy the 765t. The deal breaker was the fact that the 1390t DOES NOT have a powered mount, so you need to plug the power cable in every time you mount it. I confirmed this with Garmin.

I should have waited on the new Garmin that was coming out. Not sure on your question.

Right on the Garmin site! I studied the features of both units, and further down, they have a comparison chart. That's where I saw something a bit different noted on one unit over the other, so I went back to make sure I knew what it was and sure enough it was the part about how that unit shows the actual highway signs. You might have to click on something in the details to see a demo of what you'll see on the screen. I loaned our portable (old)Garmin to our daughter & was caught without it, so going to get this upgraded one to replace it & let her have the old one...

Why are there so many refurbished Garmin GPS's for sale. Is it because they sella ton, and get a 1/2 ton returned ? Are people taking one trip and returning units?Any ideas????

@Edmund/Garmin UserI have a question for you. I currently own the 265t. I like the form factor and it seems fast enough, but for some reason, I get this feeling that the 265t does not use the most optimal routes, like my nuvi 360 does. With or without the traffic cable/adapter plugged in. Do you notice a strong difference between how your 255 routes and your 265Wt. I´m thinking about returning the 265 and just picking up a 255. What do you think about the included traffic? How accurate and upto date is it when you drive? I have coverage in my area, but I haven´t really tested it out yet. I´ve been waiting for more reviews of the 265t, but thus far, none. IF you could reply, that would be great! @Edmund/Garmin UserI have a question for you. I currently own the 265t.

Yes, I have. My old Garmin nuvi 650 was immeasurably better than the piece of crap 1350 LMT. --- See my one star review; "Garmin's Quality Has Taken a Nose Dive". --- If people can put up with the inexcusable problems and lack of quality of the 1350LMT, then maybe they can convince themselves they got a good deal. -- I sent mine back for a full refund, and wil probably buy a Tom Tom next.

I am not familiar with the garmin nuvi 265W. However, if it has a 5.2 inch screen it will work with the 265W.It might not hold the mounting bracket though.

yep - i agree - i ALMOST ordered it last night...glad I didn't. even more interesting will be the price they'll have when it's offered by amazon direct - i am still trying to decide between the 765T and the 265 WT, which, by the way has become 7 bucks cheaper than last night !!!MediaHub - i feel like we will both end up with a good in-car nav - let's keep in touch here and try to make a good decision. www.gpsrmagazine.com has a great review/analysis of 265WT and 765T...

No it is a ripoff. You have to buy an $89 card at BESTBUY to update the maps. It is worthless. I am throwing it in trash. I had 2 buy $150 Garmin at best Buy 2day!!!!
