Once traffic is on your route, unit will warn you of it and redirect you around the traffic situation, if you desire.
I neglected to point out on the zoomed-out TRAFFIC MAP (at 3:22 onward) the RED AREA southeast of the car icon (the area is about 10 o'clock in relation to the car icon- car is actually pointing southbound). This is the area on CA-78 that had the red 'bar' earlier depicted in the videos' Traffic Search function. This illustrates the map is consistent with the Traffic Search depiction.
And you can select an individual reference and get more detail for the delay-such as an accident, traffic stoppages, etc.

I believe that Amazon still offers the 265WT. I don't think the unit has been discontinued but I could be wrong. Bluetooth-I think a lot depends upon your phone and reception area. The bluetooth function has recently been giving me some problems. I hardly use it because callers are presently unable to hear me but I can hear them. It's probably an easy fix but I haven't taken the time to look into it further as I have a new Plantronics Voyager 510 headset and that works very well for me.
The 265 WT is discontinued and can no longer be purchased at BB. However, you can still find them online and at Macy's "snack vendor". I'm getting this to put in a 2008 Lincoln Navigator believe it or not. How is the blue tooth quality?
Nice, i was wondering when/how the traffic kicks in looks like and behaves. This video summed it up. Thanks man. I just got the 255WT from BB for $180. I just use my digital camera USB cord to connect it to my computer and I downloaded the 3 Garmin voices from the free "Garmin Garage". Much better than listening to that robot man voice. I will try to update my map in a month or so also. They give you 1 free map update within 60 days of acquiring sat signals.
I bought this uni for $129.99 the day before yesterday. So far I am happy with this. This is my first GPS. Quick re-calculations too. I have used this only on the routes I am familiar with. I think this is good purchase. My only complain is it did not come with the USB to connect to the PC. A mini USB for this is at least $20. That is pricey and took away the discount I received.
I've had a problem where the caller has been unable to hear me though I can hear them. I'm presently looking into that problem. The bluetooth function is rarely used by me as I have an ear bluetooth.
Yes, it will reroute itself, it will 'recalculate' from wherever you are...sometimes I've experienced a recalculation that wastes some time as it hesitates to immediately direct you to do a U-turn when that would be most appropriate.

Traffic reporting is really good.
