Boxed Accessories

Garmin nuvi packaging usually includes a vehicle suction cup mount, USB cable, dashboard disc and a quick-start manual.

Nuvis with the "T" designation has an FM traffic receiver; a vehicle power cable affixed to it.

Some nuvis come with an offer to try a service for free for a limited time period.

The Nuvi 1690 is the only entry in the 1600 series which comes bundled with a free, two-year subscription to Garmin nüLink services, which is for users to get familiar with local areas.



Bluetooth Wireless

There are more advanced nuvis that have additional features such as Bluetooth wireless.

This technology presents hands-free dialing and voice-activated navigation, MP3 player, fuel-efficient route calculator and street maps that extend beyond North America and other countries. 

Some navigators have the "T"nuvis packaged with wireless FM traffic receivers for traffic alerts or "W"widescreen display designation affixed to them.

In some cases, the navigator might have both as "WT." In the 205 series, and the 265T series, and also a 265WT series, which signifies that it has a wide-screen display in addition to an FM receiver.

Benefits and Features

With nüvi 265WT's widescreen display, you'll always get the bigger picture as compared to the nuvi 265T.

You can easily view map details, driving directions, photos and more in brilliant color.

The 4.3-inch display is easy to read from any direction because of its sunlight-readable screen.
