Great Gadgets: Garmin nuvi 265WT GPS Navigator

Black Friday may have come and gone, but there are still many deals to be had online for a variety of different products. Helping you get around town is the Garmin nuvi 265WT, a portable GPS navigation device that comes loaded with all the latest features.

For starters, the “W” part of its name indicates the inclusion of the 4.3-inch wide-aspect touchscreen color display. The widescreen display allows you to see more of the surrounding area as you drive down the road. This WQVGA TFT display has a white backlight and an effective resolution of 480 x 272 pixels. Second, the “T” part of the model number indicates the inclusion of free real-time traffic information. This way, you can skip the rush hour gridlock and find a more effective route to your business meetings.

Going through the rest of the features, we find Bluetooth wireless technology for hands-free calling, an ultra-thin design that fits easily in your pocket, text-to-speech for reading real street names in the navigational instructions, and up to four hours of battery life. The nuvi 265WT comes preloaded with maps of the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Alaska, and Canada.

While it normally sells for over $400, the Garmin nuvi 265WT is currently on sale for $116.34, including free shipping. That’s a 71% savings off the regular price. If you don’t need widescreen, the Garmin 265T has the same features on a standard aspect display and it is on sale for under $100. Both sales are on until December 2.
