I Phone Review

Modern day GPS units are loaded with features and purchasing the right one that fits the bill will require some thought beforehand. That new car you just decided to buy could well be shipped complete with a pre-installed Gps navigation. All fine and dandy you might conclude, however what if the GPS you've got fitted is not the one you'd probably prefer to use? In that case, then you may be more content searching for a easily transportable unit. You'll likely be surprised at how extensive the specifications are and how long it takes to research all the choices. GPS units just released on the market can take advantage of the most up to the minute engineering advances. To the technologically-challenged, all of this can seem relatively difficult to understand. Don't be concerned, the following is a straightforward review of the Garmin Nuvi 265W/265WT Bluetooth Portable GPS to make it simpler for you.

You don't have to keep checking the Nuvi 265W/265WT to be told the best way to reach your destination. The best way to navigate turns and roads en route is relayed by words to the driver. However it also sports a sizable screen nearly 4.5 inches wide that remains readable even in direct sunlight. The result is that no matter from which location or what angle you look at the display it will still be readable. On top of all this, it is easily carried around outside the car either in your purse or even your pocket. The Nuvi 265W/265WT relies upon the finest and highest resolution street maps - the City Navigator NT database. These routes have a incredible 6 million POI's or 'points of interest'.

The Nuvi 265W/265WT has Bluetooth cellular technology integrated that enables you to make calls totally hands free. Naturally, this is only achievable if you own a Bluetooth phone that may work alongside the GPS unit. For making phone dialling as smooth as possible, the 265WT has an remarkable touchscreen pad with easy to read emblems. To make dialing ridiculously hassle-free, there is also a built-in mic. To accept an incoming call simply put a finger on the screen and start talking.

Urban traffic jams may be avoided by paying attention to the unit's FM receiver tuned into the neighborhood traffic conditions broadcast. As a result you will be warned of traffic delays as they happen and will be advised to look at a diversion by the portable GPS. In cases where this occurs, simply touch the screen to obtain more details and find a way around the problem.

A great emergency capability of the 265W/265WT is the means to straight away pinpoint your place on the map. This "Where Am I? service is activated by touching the display screen which will then straight away flag up your map reference point on the display. If need be, you can quickly find the nearest emergency facilities such as a police station, gas station or a hospital. If you want to extend the abilities of your 265W/265WT then Garmin provide many more plugins to help you. Most commonly they are there to help you when on prolonged journeys such as when travelling overseas.
