With new technology surfacing every other month
it can be difficult to ascertain the best timing to purchase
a GPS device. This the GARMIN
265WT and is probably one of the best deals of
the season.
Prices for this particular unit are hovering around $100.00
and if you click the shopping tab on
www.Google.com and type
Garmin 265WT in the search field you will find around 150
stores that are selling the unit at that price range.
We have been testing this particular unit in a police
vehicle and found it serves as a vital tool. So vital
that we actually saw an increase in response times when
using the unit. The "WT" stands for with traffic and
the wire has a built in box that gives live traffic updates.
From our understanding GARMIN uses other drivers with GPS
units to determine where the traffic has slowed or stopped.
In the event a traffic jam is ahead the little green car in
the upper left corner turns red. If you push the red
traffic indicator it
will illustrate the delay and give you an option to push
detour. This is a great feature if you grind your life
away on the highway, or even a road that can quickly ruin
your day because of traffic.
The unit is also helpful even if you do not have a route
programmed. In the event you are responding to a call
in a hurry and are desperately searching with your eyes for
the street sign or approaching intersection, this unit
displays approaching street information nicely and can get you into the
desired location even if the local vandals ripped down the
sign.
