| Posted by jonmax Bluetooth Since my initial summary of my Garmin 7200 I forgot to mention that this unit does not come with bluetooth and seems a backward step when you consider the other models (660 nuvi) have this facility. The unit price would not be a factor in this decision to omit. |
| Posted by ronnieblackadder3 Same as the 260w I bought the 260w with out bluetooth last year and was looking online. The Garmin 260w has bluetooth as a feature now. |

| Posted by mikeandjuliainjakarta Good safety feature The Bluetooth feature in my Garmin 265W is a great safety feature. It saves me fumbling for my phone when I am on the road. he only problem is the map/navigator goes off while I am talking on the phone/Garmin unit......can the navigation map still be seen while I am having a phone conversation?

| Posted by pjnuk FM Transmission, Bluetooth, dialling Guest, thanks for the tips re FM Transmission. I did it and it works like a dream for music and navigation directions. To avoid the slight hiss when there is no music playing, I got a long silent mp3 and play it in a loop if I do not feel like listening to music. This way I still have the navigation through the car stereo instead of the tinny Nuvi speaker. To the guy who asked about reading SMS on the Nuvi, I have not managed to do that. I have an older Nokia 3210 (I think) which connects to the Nuvi via Bluetooth but contacts do not appear on the Nuvi nor can I get SMS texts on it. Hope that Garmin will soon give us a more complete telephone functionality on the Nuvi, including its own phone directory with multiple phone numbers per contact, and a list of the last, say, 5 dialled numbers with a Redial button. There is enough memory on the Nuvi 765T to allow for the above and much more... Question: How can I set proximity alerts for selective items, such as areas with roadworks etc. which would blip once and would give a strong visual signal, such as flashing a read text? Thanks. |
