Garmin Nuvi 265 - Which? best buy at £80 from amazon - only £50 at Asda online

Duane_Dibley

it is 60 days after you register online with Garmin and a one-off upgrade.
The only problem is that the download or cd(extra cost via airmail) is too large for the inbuilt memory so you have to purchase a 4gB microSD card to put in the satnav as well.

Did the Which report compare TomToms too as I'd always thought the TomToms were considered better?
TIA

Which 'best buys' list has 21 Sat Navs of all makes - the top 9 are mostly Garmin except for 2 Tom Tom at 4th and 7th.
The cheapest in the top 21 is this one at 18th. But still with a score of 68% compared to 74% of the top one Nuvi 3760T £245

The Garmin Nuvi 265 Best Buy is as accurate at the best sat navs and it recalculates quickly if the driver goes the wrong way.
It’s easy to mount to the screen and it is also dash-mountable, for those wishing not to obscure the view through the screen. It is easy to program and the menu system is clear.
The screen and the map graphics are quite small, but the contrast of colours and shapes is good and it’s clear to read.
Audio directions are clear and timely. There are speed camera alerts and it tells you when it is recalculating the route. As you approach your destination, it will tell which side of the road that is on. The voice on our unit had a tendency to hiss a little when pronouncing the letters s, soft c and z.
Pros: Clear audio and visual prompts
Cons: Slight hiss in the speech

I had 255WT and I was very happy with it. Unfortunately I gave it to my wife and need another one, this 265T would be perfect for me.

None available in all the ASDAs in my area, called 5 stores.

T=traffic

W=wide

265T is not a widescreen, bot for this price ... anyway i got TomTom XL for 72 pounds as I travel a lot due to the nature of my job ...

Garmins ok........Except for the price of the new maps........which will cost nearly as much as this S/N..........but then you can always buy a new one instead.
