If you're shopping for a bargain-priced GPS, searching for the previous year's models is often a good place to start. One of the current best finds is the Garmin Nuvi 265WT. While it still carries a hefty list price of $220 on the Garmin Website (as of 1/21/2011), you can generally find it online for $100 less.

Strengths: I find this product to be EXTREMELY HELPFUL, ESPECIALLY since I have a terrible sense of direction.
Weaknesses:I haven't experienced any problems with this.
Overall Evaluation: I rec'd this as a gift after traveling in the opposite direction and traveling approximately 200 miles out of my way. My son (who was stuck in the back of my seven passenger van) kept telling me I was going the wrong way. So since I didn't listen to him, he bought me this product for christmas and told me I had no excuses anymore..........p.s. My granddaughter (age 6) loves it also

Strengths: Works OK for N.America
Weaknesses:Takes hours to add maps for other continents
Overall Evaluation: Bought this unit for N.America and Europe travel. Works OK in N. America. Bought the Euro maps ($99 more) but can't load them onto the unit. Follow the instructions but nothing happens. Dialog says it's successful but there are no Euro maps on my Garmin. Tech support useless.... ask a bunch of questions but no solution. Wasted my $99. Maybe TOMTOM is better.

Strengths: Vocal directions great - can keep eyes on the road; bluetooth excellent; never gave wrong directions; great maps and display. Survives the FL sun!
Weaknesses:Have mounted near radio and suction cup releases once in a while. Don't like on dash - theft, vision and heat. Traffic warning is a little slow.
Overall Evaluation: Have had my unit for about 6 months now and couldn't be happier with! Even the small backroads are on map so nav is easy. Gets me where I'm going and back again - absolutely no major complaints. Will replace with same if it ever dies. Traffic is a bit slow to warn but still works and allows you time to slow down when approaching. Bluetooth works amazingly well - keeps you handsfree; people having problems with speaker my have to change location so speaker is unobstructed. Mapquest directions sometimes lead you in circles - not Nuvi!! Highly recommend!

Strengths: NAVTEQ TrafficEasy GUI
Weaknesses:Speaker is crap
Overall Evaluation: Hands free calling has been legislated and it is important that the Bluetooth capability be functional. The speaker distorts voices so badly they are hard to understand. No complaints on the other end of the line so the microphone must be OK. The NAVTEQ traffic control works well and almost justifies owning this device. Albeit, I will return for another GPS with similar features that I can understand when it speaks --.

Strengths: many good features such as blue toothe and where am I.
Weaknesses:voice tells you to turn in the middle of the turn half the time, tells you to turn then recalculates after the turn, the voice becomes garbeled and you have to shut down and turn back on to fix it.
Overall Evaluation: All in all the unit is good as far as features but garmins quality control has gone to the dogs. Got me lost many times on a 4000 miles trip but it will eventually get you to your destination. Also froze up on me several times. would not recommend this unit to any one until they fix the kinks.
