"I read many reviews and talked with many owners of various GPS and decided on the 265wt because of it's consistent high reviews. The problem with computer map services or GPS's is that none are 100% correct and this is no exception, you have to use common sense. I'm a truck driver and thought abou …"  Read Full Review »
