GARMIN NUVI 265WT vs. MIO MOOV 200 AUTO GPS ROAD TEST REVIEW of GARMIN
Click ‘more info’. At the outset, I’ve no affiliation or interest in Garmin or Mio. Note that after I entered the Garmin traffic map I forgot to switch back to regular map display, which is a more detailed and attractive color display. I also should’ve pressed button for ‘Traffic On Route’ and you would’ve seen language there was ‘no traffic’ on my particular route. Click on my video response to this one which covers the Traffic Reporting function in greater detail. For this video, I had the Garmin screen brightness down to 50% (default)-should’ve had it at 100% but I forgot about it. I’ve had it lower than 50% (default) and the display is just fine, so if using the unit without the charger you can save battery life. Do note that Garmin does NOT recommend use of a screen protector for this GPS. This Garmin Nuvi 265WT comes with FREE Lifetime Traffic Reporting for so long as you have your unit and Garmin subscribes to the service. The Free Traffic and Bluetooth were major selling points for me. However, I still also enjoy my Mio Moov 200 which is considerably less expensive and was my first auto GPS. But the Garmin is definitely more user-friendly/intuitive and the touchpad is definitely better; the Moov 200 commands small fingers or use of a stylus for the touchpad; surprisingly, the Moov is a slightly better navigator when ‘push comes to shove’, IMHO, and it ‘appears’ to lock on satellites faster, But the Garmin matches the Moov and indeed has a Distance to Go (to the …
how accurate is the speedometer on it?
Quite accurate speedometer, common with most GPS’s. The more important Speed Limit display is quite helpful so that you don’t exceed the speed limit on any given roadway.
this does not seem safe….
wow doind this vidoe is wheres than driving and texting at the same time
Hey guys, check out my video of this thing on a plane during take off and at cruising altitude. Have it going at around 500 mph.
the bad thing about garmin devices i that they route not very clever, mio is much better here
which one should i buy?
I’d say the Garmin is superior.
i bought a nextar
43lt
i was wondering how to charge it on my pc
so confusing
lol
:p
i have a garmin nuvi 265wt with bluetooth its cool
it matches my speedometer perfectly.
Great GPS but the audio quality on the Bluetooth handsfree is horrible. There is always white noise your calling party hears on the cell phone. The unit locks up quite often as well.
I was going to go with the 1350 because it had lane assist……. but the 265WT comes with LIFETIME FM traffic.
I can sort my own lanes out…… I’d rather have the traffic reports for sure.
No interest in bluetooth whatsoever, so no loss for me there
Thanks for teh video
I agree, I had one with blue-tooth when I upgraded. I decided the 1450 had features I would use vs features I never use.
do the garmin GPS systems reroute you if you miss a turn or exit?
yes they reroute you.
THANX
yessss
Thanks for the review
You’re welcome. It was my very first YouTube video, and unrehearsed, unedited. Glad that you found it to be of some value.
Hey can you please tell me if this gps can talk in russian?
GARMIN FOR EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
My 250W Garmin Nuvi sucks!

He is going kind of slow for driving on the freeway. lol
