Details
The Garmin Nuvi 265 is similar to the Nuvi 255 with the added Bluetooth feature. The Bluetooth feature allows you to make and receive handsfree calls and also sending and receiving text messages via the GPS unit. Text messages and phonebooks can be syncronised to ensure the GPS uint is kept up to date.

Full mapping of Europe (incl. Ireland and UK), latest version mapping from Garmin, the City Navigator NT2009.

The Nuvi 265 also has the new HotFit function which guarantees faster satellite reception.

Get Turn-by-Turn Directions nüvi 265's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: "Where to?" and "View Map." Touch the color screen to easily look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that speak street names to your destination. It comes preloaded with detailed City Navigator® NT street maps, over 6 million points of interest (POIs), 2-D or 3-D maps and smooth screen redraw rates as you navigate. Its digital elevation maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain. In addition, nüvi 265 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs. With HotFix™ satellite prediction, nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.

Make Hands-free Calls For hands-free calling, nüvi 265 integrates Bluetooth® wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker. Just pair it with your compatible Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free through the 265 while staying focused on the road. Simply dial numbers with nüvi's touchscreen keypad to make a call. To answer calls, just tap the screen and speak into its built-in microphone. Enjoy convenient one-touch dialing for contacts and points of interest.

Take It With You Like the rest of the nüvi 205-series, nüvi 265 sports a sleek, slim design and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot. With its "Where Am I?" emergency locator, you always know your location. Simply tap the screen to get your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and fuel stations.

Go Beyond Navigation Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 265 includes many travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock, automatic time zone transition, currency converter, unit converter, calculator and more. With photo navigation, you can download Google® Panoramio™ pictures via our Garmin Connect™ Photos website and navigate to them. The 265 is compatible with optional enhanced MSN® Direct content (subscription and receiver required) and our free Garmin Garage where you can download animated vehicles that show your location on the map. It also comes with Garmin Lock™, an anti-theft feature. Enhance your travel experience with optional plug-in microSD™ cards such as Garmin Travel Guides for detailed data on attractions.

Not very impressed with this sat nav. Bluetooth connection to my phone (N95) is dubious. Sound quality is not great when the bluetooth connection does work, and the unit's volume seems to have a mind of it's own. If I get out of the car with my phone and it looses bluetooth connection, the unit will not reconnect with the phone without being restarted.
I have downloaded the latest maps (City Navigator NT 2010) and firmware from Garmin, and there are still roads and junctions that have been open for well over a year in Dublin that are not included in the unit's maps. Likewise some 'well known' hotels that are open several years do not exist according to the Garmin Nuvi 265.
I live in Dublin, Ireland, and if I search for the town of Tallaght in Dublin which has a population of over 100,000 people, it does not exist according to the Garmin.
It only returns a result for about 70f addresses that I search for.
Hopefully the Garmin Nuvi 265 will be more useful in Europe.
