This is a refurbished GPS. Refurbished generally means that the unit has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the navigator back to like new conditions. Some GPS may contain cosmetic blemishes. Garmin's nüvi 265WT improves upon its 200-series predecessors by adding free real-time traffic updates from Navteq (for the life of the device) as well as Bluetooth connectivity to your cell phone. Other significant improvements in the 2x5 series include a predictive technology that provides faster satellite lock, a redesigned screen with more information, terrain maps, and an exciting new photo navigation feature. The 265WT provides complete maps for North America and the handy Text-to-Speech feature, so you get turn-by-turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. "turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way", rather than merely "turn left in 50 feet").
Integrated Traffic ReceiverSteer clear of traffic with an integrated GTM 20 FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. No subscriptions or additional hardware needed. Just open the box, turn it on, and get instant access to traffic information--the traffic updates are free for the life of the device.All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time. In most areas, the traffic broadcasts are continuous--there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions. Hands-Free CallingIn more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. WIth Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker, you can match your nüvi to any Bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log.Key Features/Benefits for all 2x5 Series Navigators

The nüvi 2x5 models all sport the slim design that Garmin introduced with the 200-series last year, so they all fit comfortably in your pocket or purse, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that makes them convenient for navigation by car or foot. All of the models include useful travel tools like a JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. The 265WT also offers a wide 4.3-inch (diagonal) screen that displays 70% more of the road around you.
The best features of the Garmin Bluetooth GPS Navigation System are the voice-activated navigation and hands free calling capability. You can keep both hands on the wheel and tell the system where you want to go, because it listens to spoken commands. There’s no more lane guessing with this navigation system, because it guides you to the correct lane, especially when going through unfamiliar intersections and navigating unusual exits. The system is also available with a MSN Direct feature, so you can avoid traffic jams, check flight status and you can even compare local gas prices. Weather information, stock prices, movie listing and breaking news events are also available through MSN Direct.
The Garmin Bluetooth GPS Navigation System has a 4.3-inch 480 x 272 resolution screen and a Lithium-Ion battery with up to 4 hours of useable time. The Bluetooth feature offers hands free connectivity and the high-sensitivity GPS receiver with HotFix predicts satellite locations and records ephemeris data. The trip computer records maximum speed, mileage and total trip time and the built-in travel kit has a measurement and currency converter, a calculator and a world clock. There also an anti-theft lock on the system. The unit weighs 6.2 ounces and measures 4.9 x 3.1 x 0.7 inches.
The unit has standard microphone and headphone jacks, as well as a SD card slot and MP3 player capabilities. The Garmin Bluetooth GPS Navigation System displays speed limits, has a integrated FM Transmitter and turn-by-turn directions with spoken street names. Ten routes can be saved and the “Where Am I?” feature can be activated by a tap or by voice, so you can find the closest fuel station, police station, hospital or the nearest address. The system includes a quick start manual, a vehicle power cable, a vehicle suction cup mount, a preloaded City Navigator North America NT and remote for voice activation with battery, plus a USB cable. The unit also has a MSN Direct receiver and a dashboard disc.
