It also has this cool feature

Garmin has done the competition one better with the 265WT by offering free real-time traffic updates for the life of the unit.


And its widescreen! Go for it!

I have a lower model and its This one can only be better.

On the Marriott site, it costs fewer points than the 255, which is normally a less expensive model.

All the more reason to snap it up.

^ That's why I'm wondering if there is something wrong with it. You know what they say about deals that seem too good to be true...

I don't need a lot of the features that are available today. This has blue tooth which might be good in the S for hands free talking, but with the top down, i bet it will sound like crap. This also has traffic update for the life of the unit. I'm guessing that means it receives traffic information at no addtitional chage, but who knows. That would be good to get for free, but I would not want to subscribe to any service.

I just want to know if it has any problems.

The ratings on amazon are largely positive. There are always a few who trash a product for whatever reason but a large majority gave it 4 or 5 stars. (out of 5)
