Unfortunately I Returned This UnitI bought the 765T with great hopes, despite user comments about the touch screen. After using it on a trip to Florida, I returned it. The touch screen is horrible, the traffic NEVER was accurate, the unit crashed at least ten times, and it was just a nuisance. This is unfortunate as the screen is clear and colorful and I liked the directions and screen layout. Garmin is the only manufacturer I have seen who provides the ability to plot routes (via MapSource) on your PC and then transfer the route, not just the start and end points, to the unit. If you use MapSource, just make sure you review your route a few times though. If you click a millionth of an inch off a highway, it thinks you want to exit the highway and go to that point. So the directions, left unchecked, would have you exit the highway, go to the point you clicked, then get back on the highway to head for your end destination. Annoying but I guess this makes sense since afterall, you did click a point off the highway. A user interface modification would be helpful to alert the user though (maybe Garmin reads this??)
Bluetooth worked well, although I disabled it as using my bluetooth earpiece was far better than using the Nuvi.
I have always used Garmin products and was really disappointed with this one. This unit was just too cumbersome and I found myself making excuses for keeping it. Read more...

Feature Rich GPS w\Bluetooth - Highly Recommended!The Garmin Nuvi 285WT GPS has far exceeded my expectations for an inexpensive GPS. This nice looking unit that has a lot of features usually found on more expensive devices. Here are my observations:
Pros:
+ Easy Setup; I didn't even need to read the "Quick Start" guide to get the unit functioning
+ Text-to-Speech; Clearly speaks road names
+ Accurate Directions; Suggested routes are good and the unit recalculates quickly if you diverge
+ Bluetooth Support; Can connect to a Bluetooth enables mobile phone to act as speaker phone (this was the main reason I bought this model)
+ Easy to Use; Easy to understand menu options makes customizing easy
+ Good Predictive Text; The unit automatically presents you with a list of choices as you enter data into the destination screen
+ Shows Posted Speed Limits; Unit displays the current speed limits on most major roads (very helpful, indeed)
Cons:
- Touch screen is not as sensitive as other devices, so it often takes a few presses to get the options selected
- No manual volume control, this makes it hard to adjust the volume to compensate for road noise
Misc:
* Support MSN Direct for updated travel information, but I don't plan on using this feature
* Supports Photo Navigation, which allows you to add a picture on a SD card and assign an address that the GPS can use as a destination - I haven't tried it, but might sometime in the future
This feature rich GPS works very well and is great value. I was lucky enough to pick this up on an Amazon "Gold Box" special, so it was an even better deal, but would likely be happy to pay the current price if I need to buy another one (as a gift, etc).
Highly Recommended!

Questionable ethics on the part of GarminBeware. When I purchased the 255WT, it did not come with a USB-to-USBmini cord, so I tried one that I got with a USB external disk drive. Neither my Mac nor my friend's PC would recognized the unit, so I couldn't register it. I sought assistance from the techs at a nearby Best Buy, and they discovered that it was the USB connection, whereupon they wanted to sell me a $20 USB cable; they also told me that most camera and disk drive USB cables would not work properly. If you buy one of these, be prepared to purchase a special cable with which to connect it, otherwise you might not be able to register it, which is required in order to get your firmware and maps updated. You won't get all you pay for unless you buy more stuff. That seems a bit unethical to me. Read more...
