Editorial Review :

Keep your nüvi in place with this portable friction mount. It'll keep everything in plain sight when you need it and out of the way when you don't.

Place the mount on any stable surface, and adjust the position of your GPS to your liking. The friction mount weighs enough to keep your device put on the dash, even when sudden maneuvers are necessary. It's ideal for states in which the use of windshield suction mounts is illegal.

In addition to its convenience, you can quickly place your GPS out of sight, and without leaving any residue on the windshield, both handy for any potential prying eyes.

As good as the other reviews say it is

Doesn't slide, easy to use, and doesn't involve the "telling" suction cup mount that can lead to car thefts. Really glad that I bought this for my husband's car.

Excellent Product..

This dashboard Garmin GPS holder is exactly what I was looking for.
Its very stable, not too big, and can be conveniently moved on & off the dashboard. Plus the price is right.

Rating :



I like it.

I was surprised how stable the friction mount is on my car dashboard. It is much better than having my GPS hanging from my car's front window.At first I was a little sceptical because the mount looked bulky, but I loved it once I tried it.

Excellent mount for GPS

This is an excellent mount for the Garmin GPS. It is simple and easy to us, stable in operation and easily concealed. I have several cars and it is easily swapped from vehicle to vehicle and removed to the house for security.

Love it!

I really love this product. It works so much better (and cleaner) than the suction window mounts which always fell off while driving. Great price too (half of what it cost on Garmin's web store).

Customer Review :

Wished the Touch Screen was more accurate.

"I loved my previous Garmin Unit and had high expectations of the 765T. It had all the features I really liked about my previous unit, Bluetooth, FM Transmitter, plus new features like Lane Assist and Free Traffic. Plus it came in a nice feeling shell!

I tested them side by side and it did seem to do better when I was taking a different route, it quickly recognized the new path vs. trying to re-route me back to the previous one (like my older unit). But one thing I can't seem to live with is the fact that the Touch screen constantly mis-interpreted my touches. Even when I was aware of the issue, and being careful with what I pressed, it would still get it wrong. My previous unit never had this problem. I would recommend that you test out your unit before purchasing...as this was unacceptable. Even when Holding the erase button down and not moving my finger, it would erase sometimes, and type a '0' the other times. Calibration didn't help at all either. I thought it was faulty software but upgrading the firmware didn't fix the problem. After thinking I had a defective unit, I quickly did a search online and found others with similar issues.

The Free traffic was nice feature, but everytime it stated there was a traffic concern, I would stay on route only to not have any issues at all.

Those were my biggest complaints...so I'm going to return it tomorrow. I'd love to keep it, but with those issues, I just can't deal with having to re-type something 3 times before it gets it right."

Functional but efficient it is not

Before you buy, you should know:

I do like the unit. I'm up in the air if I'd still have bought (probably - I'm on a two month road trip and it does work, technically). My major issues are:

Routes:
I turned it on for my first test route (one that I've done nearly 100 times and know very well. The unit wanted to me to route all kinds of weird ways and at first I thought maybe I had a setting wrong somewhere. So I changed from faster route to shortest distance. It still wanted me to take a much less efficient route. I stayed the course and it would recalculate (often). I was driving a straight line route on a major Interstate between two points; and it was rather insistent on a much longer (distance & time) route.

Traffic:
I've had it warn me of an issue that I hit. It also failed to warn me of another issue that I hit. Lastly, it warned me of a dire traffic situation that didn't exist. The only reason I know it didn't exist is because I opted for it's alternative route and saw that it was trying to send me 30 minutes out of the way, to avoid a 20 minute delay. Needless to say, I was NOT impressed. The concept is great... the implementation needs serious work!



This isn't to say it's all bad. If you don't know how to get somewhere it will absolutely get you there. The only problem is that it is money in the bank that it'll take you the most obnoxious way. I was staying with one friend and went to pick up another friend and it directed me perfectly to his place. Total time, 30 minutes. On the return, he directed me to turn onto a freeway and take the exit near his place. Total time, 12 minutes. Efficient it is not.

And yes, I've turned Avoidances off. Am I glad I have it? Yes. It -will- get you there. Perhaps my desire for Google Maps level accuracy in a handheld is a bit much, but I don't think so. Google if you're reading this; make a portable unit that is as accurate as your Maps (tm) and I'll buy it.

Great GPS

I researched GPS units for a year or so online and through motorhome groups on Yahoo and finally decided to go with the 765T. It has proven to be an excellent choice. It was extremely easy to learn to use. So far it navigates very well and I love it. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Rating :



Great features for a great price

I had to replace a GPS that I lost over Christmas - and fast. Went with the 765T because it had the same features I had in the other (think it was a 775T), but for the European maps. I guess I'll just buy those when the time comes for an EU trip.

Garmin 765 GPS

Very nice GPS unit with all the features I need. I bought this model instead of the 200 series because of the better display, bluetooth and traffic info. I havent used either the bluetooth or traffic feature. This is a great GPS if you need those things, otherwise, you can get the 260 model for quite a bit less money. And, it is just about as good as the 765.

Nuvi Love

This is by far one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon. And I have made many good ones! Purchased the Garmin as a Christmas gift for my newly licensed 16 year old daughter. It is a phenomenal little gadget, does exactly what it says it does and does it in a very simple user friendly way. Great buy, great price, great service. Thanks Amazon!

This GPS latches on to satellites quicker than my DeLorme GPS. It's verbal directions are clear and loud. Entering an address is easy and it infers your choice and offers suggestions. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Garmin nuvi 285W

This GPS was easy to install and operation is a breeze. I don't always agree with the directions in my local area (where I have developed short cuts), but it is very accurate in predicting how long it will take to get to a destination.

I also like the feature that it alerts you to traffic delays. That came in very handy one day when I was able to avoid a long wait by exiting the road and taking an alternative route.

285WT is a bang for the buck Garmin!

At $99.99, it's like getting this Garmin at Black Friday prices! I bought this when it was $129.99 and I thought I was getting a great deal but $99.99 is incredible. I wish I would have waited but I was afraid that Amazon would sell out and no longer offer this model. Get it while you can at $99.99. I just updated mine to the latest 2010 maps and I also updated the Garmin operating system. I used to have a 255W but sold that to a relative. I copied my favorites that I saved to this model also. I also updated my voices and vehicles. One more thing, discontinued models are covered with a full warranty by Garmin so don't let that stop you from buying this model.
Three things that make this Garmin more bang for the buck:
1. Price
2. Bluetooth (if it's compatible with your phone)
3. Latest map updates and Garmin operating system
Note: I don't care about the MSN feature being discontinued in 2012.

Editorial Review :

Garmin's nüvi 260W combines the thinprofile and attractive price point of other nüvi 200-series GPS with directions in real street names and a wide screen that lets you see more of what's around you as you drive. Garmin's line on the device is that, "the nüvi 260W gives consumers the most sought-after navigation features, while eliminating many of the premium add-ons. The result is a PND that simply gets you from point A to point B – reliably, efficiently, and with style." As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of a high-sensitivity integrated receiver, a slim, pocket-sized navigator with a gorgeous display, detailed NAVTEQ maps that lets  you search by name for more than 6 million points of interest like stores, restaurants or hospitals, and an easy, intuitive interface.

Wider screen lets you see more of what's around.
Compare these actual size views:

3-inch screen

3-inch (diagonal) screen


4.3-inch screen

4.3-inch (diagonal) widescreen



The nüvi 260W comes preloaded with maps for U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and features an  ultra-slim design.
Text-To-Speech
The text-to-speech feature of the nüvi 260W means that device automatically calls out street names (saying "turn right on Main Street" instead of "turn right in 200 feet."). This feature lets drivers keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways.

See More of What's Around
The 4.3-inch backlit widescreen touchscreen on the nüvi 260W gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.

Smart, Powerful Design
The nüvi 260W is built with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data.The nüvi display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use.

Garmin Lock
Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location

First Rate Map Data
The nüvi 260W comes preloaded with City Navigator NT North America--road coverage for the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico and nearly 6 million points of interest. City Navigator North America NT gives you everything you need to travel North America. Powered by NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality digital map data, City Navigator brings you the most detailed street maps available so you can navigate with exact, turn-by-turn directions to any address or intersection.

Easy To Use Interface
Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.

Garmin's own navigation is easy to use

    Customer Review :

    Excellent product

    This GPS, albeit discontinued, is an excellent large screen device. Although we havent tested the product in confusing roadlines, I am pretty confident it will perform well. Moreover, I am happy with the price we paid.

    Very pleased with this unit. My wife was skeptical about buying a GPS but has now admitted that it we should have done it sooner. I found it easy to set up and use.

    Great Product

    This GPS is really a good product - I've only found only a few addresses here in FL that are incorrect -which is amazing with all the crazy addresses. It helps you find your way and keeps you from getting lost. I can now avoid going on an unmarked dead end street and
    find my way around easily! It is easy to operate and you can upgarde the maps on the computer if you get the USB cable. I'm very happy with this item so far!

    Just a little better than the last one.

    This is my 3rd Garmin. I got the first in 2000 and it cost almost $1,000 with the maps and everything. But it worked well and kept me from getting lost. When the maps became outdated, I bought a new, much cheaper one which was better. It died on me recently and this was a replacement and works quite well.

    It'll get you there from here.......

    The title of this review says it all....and Garmin is THE name in GPS devices. My first one (660) is still alive and getting to where I need to go with no issues at all after 4 years.
    This one was a gift....they believe it is like magic. They are a retired couple in their 60's (they have had no problem learning to use it at all). It is so easy and basically self-explanatory learning to operate.
    "Where to" and enter where you want to go...press "GO" and listen for the prompts. I have not gotten lost going anywhere since the first Garmin I purchased. That is, of course...IF I had accurate info such as address, coordinates, or even intersection of my destination.
    These things are GREAT.....

    nice little device

    Works well most of the time. Sometimes the directions are strange. We have left home to a known route and the device tries to send us another way, which makes no sense. Sometimes the map changes to a different view and we can't understand what we did to make that happen. One time the voice commands just stopped and all we had was the map. I imagine a lot of these problems were things we created and not the fault of the device. We purchased the dash holder with GPS and recommend getting it too. It's a nice little device overall. Would recommend if you find a good sale. Amazon had a great price on this before Christmas.

    Garmin nuvi 265 WT

    First off, Amazon is incorrect when then tell you that the model#, as printed on the device itself, will read "265WT" ~ it does not nor should it, according to Garmin support.

    The Traffic Receiver is actually BUILT INTO THE POWER CORD (VEHICLE charger) and not inside the GPS device itself, contrary what I've read from various owner postings. There's a rectangular box inline with the car charger cord which is how the GPS receives traffic updates, provided you have an active subscription. At the time of ordering (Nov 2009), the traffic was being offered for FREE for LIFETIME.

    As for the GPS itself, it has been relatively reliable, except for two occasions where the voice suddenly sounded scrambled and had to be power-cycled to correct it.

    I love the Bluetooth connection to my mobile phone, as well as the other features inherent with this model such as fuel / trip costs, driving / economy challenges, etc.

    Great buy

    The lifetime traffic feature has surprised me with accuracy as well as alternative mapping. It is giving very accurate maps, directions and alternate routes (when requested). The bluetooth pairing with my cell phone is very convenient. My only wish is that the speaker could have been a bit larger. Also they eliminated the "ding" notification option when a direction was given. I liked this in my old one because I could hear it over my stereo. Outstanding deal.

    A friend of mine had a Garmin and we used it this past November to find some places to go to on a weekend trip. I thought to myself, I have to get one of these. I really like it. I have a found a few things to be a little confusing, but overall, I like to use it and sometimes use it just around town to places that I already know how to get to so that I can 'practice' with it. I used it last weekend to go to the IZX Center in Cleveland and what a difference - we knew exactly where to turn off and did not have to guess if it was the same turn off as last year. I'm glad I purchased it and know it will get a workout this summer and fall, when I tend to take more trips.

    Questions & Answers
    Question : My car got totalled in an accident, insurance company wants to buy it. How much will they pay me?
    I have a 1993 Nissan NX which was in a decent condition and never gave me any problems. Recently it got rear-ended. The other party's insurance took the responsibility and asked me to get an estimate. The estimate says the repair costs are about $5000 and the mechanic thinks the insurance company will buy the car from me. What price would they pay me for the car? I am a student and wasn't planning on buying a new car. What price should I be happy with. I paid about $2800 8 months ago for the car. Would they be willing to negotiate. If yes, how do I negotiate?

    Answer:
    Most insurance companies use NADA to detmine the RETAIL value of your car, not Kelley Blue Book. This is because NADA is based on the actual selling prices of vehs, KBB is based on the ASKING prices of dealers for the same veh. KBB will therefore show a higher "value" for your veh. The value will take into account mileage on the veh, and the insurance company may adjust for prior dmg/condition. Most companies will give you more the veh if you have recently put in a new engine, transmission, or possible new paint job on entire veh. (You will need receipts for the same--and you will only recoup part of the cost of the refurbishments.) Also, the insurace company will take into account the salvage value of your veh--what a salvage yard would buy it for for parts--in deciding if the veh it totaled or not. They will calculate how much repairs are vs the "book" value (less salv value). You may be able to keep the veh (if you want, and depending on the laws in your state) & pay the add'l to have it repaired, but keep in mind that estimates may not include any "hidden" dmg to your veh, and the cost to repair may be higher than what's on the estimate. Also, the ins co would also reduce what they pay you by the salvage value if you keep the car, as the ins co would not be able to recoup the salvage amt by selling the car--you would be able to. The ins co will also ck to see if your veh previously had a salvage title issued on your veh--if it has, your settlement will be reduced...(and you got taken when you bought it...)You should not have a deductible taken from the settlement either if the other company is paying for the dmgs...Pls feel free to contact me personally if you would like further info...I am an auto claims adjuster for one of the top national insurance companies in the US.

    Question : What car would anybody recommend for a first timers drift car?
    Im looking to buy my first car and little by little modify it to use for drifting.Im looking to spend 5-10k on a used car.Would anyone have any good advice or can point me in the right direction? Thanks!

    Answer:
    haha! first things first bro, a 1991-1994 240sx is perfect but, you gotta get the fast back (the coupe is ugly). now remember you need power. the car stock is 150hp. not enough to drift on. you need to get an engine swap. most commomn is the SR20 which is the japanesse engine for this car pullin 205hp. now remember its a light car so that is plent of power, specially for a begginer, now before you start going sideway n crash you new motor. you need stiff suspension CRITICAL in drifting. you can get this car in goog condition for 2k-4k (shop around) the engine will cost $1500-2k plus intallation bout $600. you can get coilovers (suspension) for about $800. this is one of my favotite cars, you can fit some fat tires on it, n the turbo sounds nice. look into it, you can change the front pop up light to the S15 front. it looks sick, now possibilities with engine swaps n mods on this car are endless. if you feel the need for it, you can even fit a SKYLINE engine in this car. good luck bro...

     

    Question : How do I make my car germ proof for my to be born baby ?
    My husband works in a job where he has to transport clients in his car who are unclean and don't take care of their hygiene. Some of them are even street people. My husband does use a car seat cover to protect the seats. We are having a baby in three months and I am very concerned about transporting our baby in our car. We can only afford one car and it is a part of my husband's job to have clients in his car. Any suggestions to take utmost care in prevention of germs or infections via car. Many thanks for any suggestions.

    Answer:
    instead of using chemicals to clean, try using vinegar and lemon. it disinfects, but is not harmful to you or baby. the chemicals in lysol, etc have harmful fumes.you can also vacuum the upholstery with a mixture of baking soda and borax.i recommend cleaning the car out at least once a week. before any rides with baby, do a quick wipe down with a vinegar spray. (you can put an essetial oil of your choice so there's no vinegar smell...my fave is lavendar and tea tree oil)it's also easy to make your own wipes...* fill a tupperware container with water. * add some of baby's shampoo. * add a few drops of lavendar and/or tea tree oil for scent and antibaterial treatment.* add Viva paper towels (or baby washcloths) in container.Voila!lavendar and tea tree oil are also great for antibacterial or antifungal treatments...you can add it to anything you need to be antibacterial or antifungal...naturally

     

    Question : What car is good for converting to an electric car?
    What car is good for converting to an electric car?I'm interested in a car that is lightweight, has a manual transmission, and has room for batteries. I'm trying to convert a gas car to an electric car, and I need one that is light, has manual transmission, room for batteries, etc, etc. Has anyone done that and has advice/know a good car for it? I have a limited price range, and I need a relatively cheap car for it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Answer:
    To convert a car to electric, you will find that you don't need many of the thing at the gas car did, for instance the gas tank, radiator, and motor.the electric motor is much smaller the a gas one.many people are building a battery pack to go where the gas tank was along with using the extra space in the engine compartment.this is a link to what some others have done.http://www.electroauto.com/http://www.evalbum.com/cntrl/CAFE/

    Question : Trying to sell my car in Illinois but my car is registered in New York?
    I just moved from New York state to Illinois two months ago.However, my company plans me to move me to the office in California.I'm trying to sell my car in Illinois before I move to California and planning to buy a new or used car over there.I don't plan on changing my title, insurance, registration from NY to Illinois since I'm changing my car and live in California.How can I sell an out-of-state registered car?

    Answer:
    You shouldn't have any problem selling it with a NY title. The person who is buying your car should just be able to take the NY title to the DMV to transfer ownership. It might just take a little longer for the paperwork to be done. You may want to check with the DMV in Illinois just to be sure, as motor vehicle laws do vary from state to state.

     

    Question : Should I buy a car which is categorized as a finance repossession?
    Should I buy a car which is categorized as a finance repossession?I checked this preowned car, and AA said there is an existing finance agreement against the car, which is a hire purchase.I told the dealer, and he said this is a finance repossession. He said the finance company has cleared the car.Obviously I will speak directly to the finance company. But do you think it is advisable to buy this type of car? It is a Nissan Almera, so quality-speaking, it should be good.

    Answer:
    If there is an existing finance on the car, the dealer should not be selling it. The finance should have been cleared up by the repo and the car should have a clean title now.There's nothing wrong with buying a repo. It's like any other used car. Some uninformed people might advise against it because they think such cars have been abused by the owners, knowing that they are going to lose the car. This is rarely true. The repo usually comes on quickly, in a matter of a couple of months, so there is little time to abuse the car. It wouldn't be smart anyway, because the car would sell for less at auction, and they would owe a larger balance on their loan after the repo.
