Navteq coverage mapTraffic updates are becoming an increasingly popular feature and I think you will find a considerable improvement in coverage within the next year or so. Reports about the bluetooth are that the audio quality is not that great, but being able to have "hands free" calling is a nice feature. Not all phones are compatible with this feature.

Supported Mobile Phones Another feature that rated high with users was "Where am I" which will give you your present latitude and longitude, the closest address and intersection, the nearest hospital, police station and fuel station. An often overlooked feature that is provided with these units is the QWERT keyboard. The slim design of the Garmin nuvi 265WT and the Nuvi 265T makes these portable car GPS systems easy to take with you. Among the most mentioned complaints were the call quality and the units were slow on route recalculation. Best portable GPS?

Cons: The only one at this point is that the traffic thing doesn't work in my city. Dell: Pros: Easy to use. Just mount, turn on and go.Free traffic.Bluetooth. Easy to add Europe maps. Build quality is excellent.Graphics are clear and screen is sharp. Bluetooth works very well.Speaker is loud and clear. This model tells you the street name to turn on not just "turn right." Most important, this unit works and performs very well. PC Advisor: By Liane Cassevoy The Garmin Nuvi 265T packs a lot of features into a very small case. The Garmin Nuvi 265T is a reasonable price for a full-featured GPS - especially when you factor in the lifetime traffic service.
