does garmin city navigator for austria switz etc work in a 265w?

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.

Yes, I have a 1452 and my wife have the 52 and it works on most of the Garmin products.

I used it with my Nuvi 255w. The product is a micro-SD card, but you can buy an adapter to plug a micro-SD card into an SD slot. That's what we used and it works fine. In fact when I glanced at the product page on Amazon just now, it showed such an adapter as an item "frequently bought with this one". Just a caution: we used this during a driving trip in Portugal last year, and while I was glad we had it, it was painfully dated in places. Portugal has been aggressively building lots of beautiful new highways, and Garmin apparently doesn't know about all of them yet. If I were doing our trip over, I would still use this, but I would also get a quality current paper map (e.g,. Michelin) and plan my routes ahead, rather than entirely relying on the Garmin to pick the best path to a destination.

I have a 255w some times it goes crazy taking you to a different place then you plugged in. The map update is close to $100.So I'm Locking for a GPS that advertises when there product maps were installed.

I am not sure, I haven't looked for it. Check the feature/details of the unit and see if it includes Europe. Updates are free as are downloads so you may just have to download the Europe maps and be good to go. If you just go on the Garmin site you can look up the features of every gps unit they sell including those that are no longer sold to see what it included as a feature. I do recall the 2577LT as having the ability for Europe but I would not want to say for sure.

Well I've got the 255W and have tried all of this stuff. It used to display the Garmin logo before turning off completely. Now it is just dead. Pressing any of the corners of the screen while sliding the powers witch for 8, 15, 30 , or even up to a minute. Does absolutely nothing. It has been charged with the provided car charger as well as a USB and still it is stone dead. Judging from my experience and the posts on this thread the 255 is a dud.

Thanks for the update, dsrussell. I'll take your advice and check out the review of the 765 that you mentioned at gpsmagazine.com. It's too bad that the folks at Garmin didn't include this info about the 765 in their owners manual. Must have been an oversight on their end. Again,thanks a bunch!

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...

I have a Garmin Nuvi 265W and bought the Garmin GTM 36 traffic receiver to replace my Garmin GTM 25 traffic receiver. So far I have not had a problem with it. It should work with your 255W.

Yes it will work with your nuvi 255w. I bought one last summer for my nuvi 295w and it worked flawlessly. Both the 255w and the 295w have Micro-SD slots. The City Navigator UK/Ireland comes as a Micro-SD card inserted in an SD adapter so don't panic when you see an SD card that is too big for your Micro-SD slot--just pull out the Micro-SD chip from the adapter.

Only if you have installed the original NuMaps. It is an upgrade wich did not work on my Garmin. Returned it and got the actual program which worked

Do not know what your Nuvi2559 maps are like, but the City Navigator took me throughout Germany in big cities like Frankfurt to doorstep of addresses in Munich as well as small rural towns. It also worked super throughout Austria including finding small B&Bs in rural towns down small roads. Gave me speed limits and lane info which was very useful at Autobahn exchanges and turnoffs.

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.

Yes, it will work with a Nuvi265wt. It has a 4.3 inch screen. My Garmin 2595 has a 5 inch screen and it holds well.

I don't think so. Check out the compatibility Device list at Garmin https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/maps/on-the-road-maps/city-navigator-nt/city-navigator-middle-east-northern-africa-nt/prod73267.html Select "Compatible with SD card" for list of approved devices These cards are encoded and need to be decoded by the firmware. If the firmware is incompatible your GPS will never be able to decode the map file.

I' m using the South American maps with a garminNuvi 1370 successfully. Do not know about other models, but Garmin may be able to confirm compatibility-- good luck

mine would not work, had to send it back. i am in europe now and would recommend you get a different brand. its not a very good gps. all the maps are outdated. sorry, wish i would have bought something else. when i sent mine back it took a couple of weeks and they sent a refurbished unit. bad news...
