i have a question i just bought me a garmin 265wt n my unit dose not say the street name can u please help me out or maybe i should of plug in the charger/satellite wire would that make a different thx
And this is why driving in Orlando or Florida in general is a fricking pain, people reading maps, and now making videos for youtube, amazing. Next time, take someone with you to make a video. This is why people get into an accident and then blame others.
@dial2fast Is the traffic helpful at all or is it useless? I'm planning to purchase the 255W or 255WT.. I'm leaning towards without because it seems useless.
@lilcrazyaznboy the traffic for the most part is accurate but sometimes it's not updated quick enough. It can help you plan your trip if you are stopped on a highway and the gps tells you there is a 15 minute delay, so you know how long you will be stuck or take a detour. But it won't tell you any details as to why ttraffic is slowed. Also this only works for major highways as long as trafffic is broadcasted in the area.
Are you driving slowly? The truck passed you! lmao. And people at the Orlando airport are FUCKING RUDE!! Blah. I like this one but I want the lane assist on the 1490t, but $50? jesus xD
The traffic is enabled once you plug in your external cig power cable. The power cable is also your traffic antenna. If traffic info is available in your area, then a 'car' icon will appear in the top left corner with the number of minutes of delay you can expect. So note traffic info is only available in some areas and mainly reports on major freeways, not the small streets.
The traffic seem to sometimes be accurate and sometimes questionable. I was in LA last week and it told me a 2 min highway delay which was very accurate and the warning went away once I past the scene of the accident. There has been a few times where it showed some delay but saw nothing. I don't think it's bogus reporting but a matter of the source signal updating the information quickly.
I just got one of these and I like it. I couldn't help thinking, though, as I viewed this clip, that it probably would have been safer if you weren't watching the GPS, shooting video, and fooling with your phone ... all while driving down the interstate. But, that's just a nitpick and my opinion.
should show us your face at the end, do a heavy weapon guy smile : D

Does the traffic REALLY work? Many have bogus traffic.
Also the audio voice isnt as good as the Tom Tom.
