Smart traffic avoidance
nüvi 765T comes with Garmin’s smart traffic avoidance to help you stay aware of jams, accidents and roadworks on your route, with dependable delay information. Garmin’s distinctive, streaming traffic service uses live traffic data from cameras located every two miles along every major route to help you avoid the tailbacks.

Traffic information is just a toggle away. Just flick between your main navigation screen and congestion information while Garmin’s expert navigation works with the traffic alerts to report on the tailbacks and suggest a better route around the delay.

I understand traffic re-routes are included in the Garmin Nuvi 265 Wide Traffic Sat Nav .
Will I have to place a cable/antenna to run around my dashboard, or does this 265WT device now pick this up by built-in means?

Yes. I put in 15 way points when planning a sponsored cycle ride between churches (search OHCT) so I suppose waypoints are unlimited, subject to processing/storage power

Hi Dave
I live between UK & Spain and drive over alot. I too found that maps changed quickly & we`re expensive. Really the secret seems to be don`t update the maps, buy a new satnav. I know that sounds stupid, but the maps are the expensive bit not the actual electronic device. Found this out after trying to get new maps for my Euro satnav. It was cheaper to buy a new unit with updated maps, 2 years gaurantee (In Spain) than to just buy the maps. A manufactures con to sell the maps. Hope this has helped.

I can't hear the directions in the car - you stand no chance on a motorbike.

EBay it and buy a dedicated unit for motorbikes - not what you want to hear, of course.
