      One thing to watch is the age of the maps on refurbs. Rather a pain to get a new GPS and have to fork over major bux for a map update...

      Not a bad price; $10 more at Amazon. Lots of features on this model.

      I have an older Nuvi, not this model; works well.

      I have owned this one for 6 months too. paid 280.

      Worth every cent.... Traffic is a joke on any of them. Your in it before it says anything.

      anything that has a winery button is a buy in my book Smile

      I got a refurb 265wt from Amazon about a month ago ($169). Works great, traffic feature isn't so great. If I could go back in time, I'd search for a GPS w/out this feature to save a little more $$.

      I bought this brand new from Amazon. I had it for about 2 months. Loved it... I live in the Virginia beach area. And the traffic feature worked great! I also used it in a trip to DC and it worked decent there too. I would recomend it. The bluetooth feature works great too... Lots of icon's for your gps too. Very good product!

      Does anyone know or know where there is a list of GPS models that know speed limits? I used to have a mio c310 that did this and it was great! It would warn me when I went 10mph over the speed limit on the main highway. I cannot find any mention of this feature in current reviews. thanks for the help.

      Navigon warns of speed limits but I don't know how accurate it is, didn't work on all streets, I think just highways.

      #5 I'm with you. I considered the refurb 255W over a refurb 265WT unit and saved 50 bucks at amazon. I think traffic report will be better in the future but I pass for now.

      #7 I remember both Amazon and Garmin websites post the speed limits and photo enforcements features in the descriptions. You might want to look closer.

      Just bought a brand new one from Cosco for $219. It's well worth it since it comes with the Garmin leather case.

      #7 I don't believe this one gives you verbal warning. It does show on the screen what the speed limit is (on major streets/avenues).
