My very first GPS, and it speaks! This Garmin nuvi 265WT was recommended by a friend, so I had great expectations, and because of that, I became somewhat disappointed. It is not as smart as I had thought. I tested it by using around familiar routes. It turned out it did not know the better routes or the short cuts like I did. It also costs me almost $100 recently. Two weeks ago, I was going to a place I have never been before. I missed an exit and had to follow my GPS recalculated directions. It told me to make a U Turn at the next intersection. As I came close to it, I saw the green left turn arrow and immediately made a U Turn as instructed. Shortly thereafter, a police car flashed its lights right behind me. "Did I do anything wrong, Officer?", I said calmly. I was positive I did not do anything wrong. I never had a traffic citation in the last 20 years. "You failed to obey a No U Turn signal back there", the policeman responded. I told him about the GPS instructions. He said he had heard of similar incidents from other violators before. To all GPS users out there: Beware of traffic signs.
