    The Nuvi 265WT is pretty sweet. Bluetooth, free traffic indicator, and a nice big screen. When on battery, it takes a min or two to search for satellites, but when plugged in it finds them instantly. I have it mounted next to my radar. Easy to see, and don't need to look down for speed anymore. It's nice to have a GPS, I use it more than I thought I would. Costco had them for $169, I've found them as low as $125 online.

    Thanks Shawn. As far as use goes, is it easy to use. I ask because my mom is not big on "complicated gadgets". lol

    I got my mother a Tomtom and comparing the two, the Nuvi wins hands down. The Nuvi gives more constant directions. Both are fairly easy to use IMO.

    The Nuvi 265WT is the bang for the buck GPS IMO.

    Yeah they are simple to use. When mine starts I can view a real time map or go to a screen to enter a street address or many other points of interest.

    Ok now I found the free stuff, thanks Shawn!
