    So this gives you all the features of a 265WT, but at $100 MORE??? Rolling Eyes

    Few things I've discovered while researching these Garmin GPS units with the lifetime traffic support:
    1. Free traffic support is advertisement supported (gotta put up with commercials from time to time), and is spotty, at best. You get what you pay for, in other words.
    2. Free traffic support is accomplished by adding an extra thickness to the power cable coming from the car's power point (cigarette lighter) to the GPS unit, so only works while the unit is plugged in (the traffic support comes in through an FM antenna built into the cable). Some people have complained about how tough it is to route the cable with the extra thickness.
    3. Points of interest can sometimes be incorrect, or lead you to a location further away from you than one you know is closer. Use this with a grain of salt, imho. The good thing is that you can add your own POI's to the unit.

    Lots of people also seem to complain that the tiny speaker in these Garmin units isn't very easy to understand at the highest volumes (>80% volume), and can get pretty broken up. No big deal, unless you like listening to heavy metal music at high volume while trying to navigate, imho.

    Personally, unless someone can give me a feature this one has, that the 265WT doesn't, I'd recommend getting one of those instead. Amazon has 'em for $210 (free shipping).
