4 and 1/2 stars Garmin Nuvi 265wt GPS
I really like this GPS. I also had a MIO and hated it. Difficult to use and it doesn't have the maps directly on it. The Garmin Nuvi 265wt is great. Turn it on and it's ready to use. It's very easy to enter your home info and then where you want to go. It's also really easy to get the opposite directions. I love that it not only shows you what speed you're going but the speed limit on the road you're on. It's easy enough to change the car icon or voice. I love that the traffic info is free, no spending extra money to sign up for traffic updates (but if you want to you have the option.) The only thing I didn't like is that if you don't want to take toll roads it doesn't give you alternate routes (or at least I haven't figured out how to get that option yet.) That's why I really gave it 4 and a half stars not 5. Also, it's easy enough to download and print out the manual. Yeah it's for 4.3 inch paper, but guess what, it fits on normal paper (8 1/2 by 11)! So print it out and then cut it down to size if you want, but don't knock the unit because you didn't get a manual! That's just petty.

Bluetooth support lacking
I am a long time Garmin gps user and I prefer Garmin to other brands.
I bought my Garmin Nuvi 265 wt to replace my Garmin Street Pilot c550.
This unit is very fast to lock on to the satellite and it's response
is very fast and accurate. If you deviate from the calcuated path,
it will recalcuate right away. This is noticeably faster than
the nuvi 760. It's search for points of interest is also very fast.
The new user interface is much better and well organize as compared
to the Street Pilot and Nuvi 760. I especially like the speed limit and
driving speed on the same screen. The real time traffic update
is great and the advertisement is hardly noticeable.
The screen is bright and easy to look at even with sun glare.
Overall I like this unit very much, except for the bluetooth suppport.
I have a Samsung Juke (sch-u470) which I bought last year. This phone
is not offically supported on Garmin's website which I found out after
the fact. My old Street Pilot C550 works great with this phone but not
the Nuvi 265 wt. The 265 wt is able to reconize this phone in discovery
mode and even pairs with it. However, once it is paired, the bluetooth
causes the nuvi to continually reboot. So beware.
Overall the bluetooth issue cause me to give this GPS two stars instead of five. I am somewhat disappointed that upgrading to a newer Garmin unit cause me to lose my bluetooth for hands free calling.
