I have been pleased with the 275t. I miss being able to choose what will be displayed on the screens when driving (used to my 60c choices). I would like an easily found altitude readout and a coompass heading. Other than that complaint I have found it easy to use. Am anticipating a motorhome trip to UK and will depend heavily on my GPS.
great product and i have not had any problems with it, it has numerous languages including arabic, chinese, and 20 others. the navigation is smooth and i mainly bought it for using in italy and the US, although it had expandable memory so you can install other region by a simple download!
I have owned the Garmin nuvi 275T for about 3 months now and I have really enjoyed it. One thing that was disappointing is that I made a trip to South Korea, but Garmin does not make maps for it. I looked into 3rd party maps, but wasn't able to figure anything out in time. There has only been one address that it was not able to find so far, and it was in a new community. I like the variety of voices and vehicles that are provided and the blue tooth for hands free cell phone use works well. It shows the estimated time of arrival which I really like, but it would be nice if it also showed current time. Overall a very good product.
I have tested Garmin Nuvi 275T over the past few weeks and found the system VERY easy to use and VERY intuitive. I especially like the ability to find points of interest near where you are at just by pressing a button label "nearby". The screen is bright and easy to read. My only negative is the time it has taken to download updated map versions, it was forever!
I would highly recommend the unit especially if you are traveling the Europe.
Nice and compact and can fit nicely in a shirt or jacket pocket.
I used the unit in Fla. and found that the unit would often say turn left on a street when the correct way was to turn right. I relied more on the map and the arrows for directions then the voice commands. Also sometimes the voice would not give directions until you were at the turn or slightly past it.
The pop up advertisement can be a pain.
I will be using the 275T in Italy, Spain and Germany later this year I will see how it responds there.
I had a street pilot 2720 which I think gave better directions. If it were not for the cost of updateing the maps of the U.S and the cost of the maps of Europe (Which cost almost the same as the new 275T) I would have got them.
I am quite pleased with the Garmin nuvi 275T device. It's routing has generally been good, but when I do disagree, it resets very quickly. The Bluetooth function works very well. I do have two complaints. The first is that when you plug in a destination, it does not demonstrate a compass heading. Instead it shows the estimated time of arrival. There is a compass heading in the map view, however. Secondly, there is no mechanism to add numbers to the phone book if your cell's phone book doesn't automatically sync with the device. This is independent of the Bluetooth function.
I received my Garmin Nuvi 275 T really quickly, However the screen does not appear to be a wide screen 3.5. I am puzzled as to how you get this measurment as the internal screen width measures under 3 inches.????
So I do not know how this is measured to be classed as a wide screen.
I seems to work great. I did not receive the full instructions with it on how to add the blue tooth and may have to get these online and print them which will cost a lot of ink to do that. It is easy to use and so far has taken me to my destinations perfectly.
I went through a couple of iterations of this unit until I got one that was utterly disappointing. The first unit didn't work having a blank screen. I returned it for a new unit and began testing it. Forget about listening to the radio if you want to hear any alerts. The speaker is cheap and it makes the voice difficult-to-understand, rendering the speaker useless. The bluetooth was not worth it since the callers could not understand what I was saying. The traffic monitor did not work either. I specifically drove towards a traffic tie-up to see what options it would suggest. NOTHING.... And, yes, you must have it plugged in since the traffic receiver is located in the cord.
I would not recommend this at all. I do believe it's a mass-produced, expensive piece of junk.
Rutilia.
I purchased this device a few weeks ago in anticipation of a trip to the UK. I've driven there before, navigating with the excellent AA road atlases, but being an American driving a right hand drive car with a manual transmission, sometimes in bad weather, I would often get task-saturated. I thought a GPS or "Sat Nav" as they call them, would make the job a little easier.
The only features that I really needed in a GPS unit were the U.S and European maps and text-to-speech, ("turn left on High street"), beyond that, additional whistles and bells didn't matter to me.
Initially I looked at both Garmin and TomTom and decided to go with Garmin since it was less expensive to find a unit that had North American and European maps. I paid about $270 for my 275T, it was the least expensive unit that had European maps pre-installed. Buying the European map separately would cost you approximately $150 and the UK-only map runs about $99.
The 275T operation is fairly straight forward. It has all of the normal features that one would expect to find on a modern GPS unit to include a fairly robust POI (Point Of Interest) database loaded with gas stations, restaurants, airports etc... The touch screen works well and although the size is smaller, (3.5" vs 4.3" on some larger units), it was more than adequate to display all of the necessary information. The voice directions are very helpful, especially when driving in heavy traffic. Traffic updates in the US arrive via an FM transmitter in the charger cord, (in Europe you have to plug in an antenna wire which comes with the unit). You can also easily preload lots of destinations to your "favorites" on the device by using the Google map or Panoramio photo websites.
In the UK the 275T proved to be invaluable; you feel much freer to stray from the beaten path and do a bit of exploring knowing that your GPS will always get you to your appointed destination. The time to destination estimates were accurate and the routes were efficient. When initially turned on, the unit located satellites quickly and never lost the connection except when in parking garages, or tunnels. Sometimes when surrounded by lots of tall buildings, like in downtown London, the unit would appear to get confused about the direction in which it was pointing. Moving the car just a few dozen feet or so normally corrected this. The included Europe maps were very accurate with the exception of a new stretch of highway between Falkirk and Edinburgh which was not included on the map database. Road names, one-way streets, and parking areas were all up to date. I found the inclusion of "safety camera" locations, (read: "speed trap cameras"), to be very helpful; it even flashed a red warning when you exceed the speed limit in an area with a camera.
The only feature that I sometimes wish was included was a compass heading. If you just turn on the unit, but don't program in a destination, your directional heading, (North, East etc...), is displayed in the lower right hand corner. However when it's giving you directions, your estimated time to arrival takes up that area of the screen. Overall however, I thought the unit was great and I would recommend the 275T if your travels take you between North America and Europe on occasion. Renting a GPS with your car in the UK will typically add about $15 per day; use your 275T for a couple weeks and it's practically paid for itself.
I travel to Europe once a year and this unit looked like great and not so expensive option. Well ...
1. The 'integrated' traffic is in car charger and you have to use additional cable which plugs into car charger - it's so messy.
2. What is worse, the unit does not work anymore. I plugged it to my PC and followed the installation upgrade - after it was done the screen went blank and flickrs like bad frequency TV monitor and my PC does not recognize the GPS anymore.
thank you Garmin for great useless tool I have to return back to Amazon, I'm leaving for a week vacation in couple days, I guess I will have to stick with old printed map again.
little update few hours later... Amazon shipped another unit overnight for free !! This is the best customer service I've ever seen. I hope I will have more luck with the second unit.
