does this gps have a split screen? It is shown one way on the listings page and another when I go to the specific item.

It is not a split screen all the time. If you are on a major roadway approaching an upcoming junction, and if it is available, the split screen will appear showing the image of that junction. I really enjoy this GPS and do recommend it.

It shows that at major freeway interchanges only, when seeing complex exits are relevant, in my experience. I like this gps btw. :)

This is my husband's GPS and he said that the screen 'occasionally' goes to a split screen, showing a map and a picture of the road that you're currently on. I hope this helps!

It doesn't have GPS. You can't view the GPS via Bluetooth but you can hear the audio from your phone when using the navigation.

Mine does not. It shows a digital compass pointer and the direction to go to get to the last location.

No this will show one thing on 2 separate displays. For example, if you pull up Facebook, it will be shown on both monitors. You need a separate port on the computer or a switching device to be able to do what you want. I, too, purchased this thinking it would "split" the display.

Sorry Larry, that is well above my level of GPS knowledge. All I can say is that I hate this GPS. Even when I update the maps it often doesn't have things that have been around for quite awhile and aren't obscure places. One thing it doesn't have which I really miss is to filter for a particular type of restaurant (Thai, Mexican, eg.). It will only show all restaurants in a two mile radius of where you are. I wish I'd stayed with Garmin despite its own pitfalls.

No it does not, it only displays the GPS portion of it when you remove the SD Card and play it in the program. It records your GPS location relevant to the real time camera image.

Yes it does.....I am using work laptop with Windows 8 and it works fine....haven't used any gps feature though, just the maps itself.

Frm what I can see, it does,but only in a generic way. I caution against buying this upgrade tho. I had nothing but problems with my Garmin after I upgraded to this 2008 update. I ended up buying a newer model, and Wada uite frankly, I am not too happy with that either. I have been relying on AAA maps for the past year. Good luck.

It has one. But it is not worth the money. I ended up smashing the hell out of mine on frustration. The gps worked fine for 2 months and then never again. And if the gps fails you think that all you have to do is wait for better signal and then start the process however there is no way to restart the thing. I bought a polar m400. Completely better.

I have found that it does not pay any attention to the info you put in. My roadmate tries to put me on a parkway (cars only Low bridges). I do not trust the unit and always check the route it gives. My advice would be to change the info when you are using it for the truck. My wife bought the GPS even after I told her about bad reviews.

As you close to your next way point, the unit (like most new gps units) will mimic the photo to the left. However, I'm about 95% sure that this unit is not split screen. I installed this unit in my car about a year ago and it works great!

The only way I know to see muliple routes is to select "settings" on the home page, then select "Navigation routes", and you will be given an option for: 1. Faster time, 2. Shorter distance, 3. less fuel. and 4. Off road. If you select any of these, your route may be different for each, but only one will be displayed at a time. Ray.

Yes the speed is provided on screen but not distance, but it is shown as maping on the gps program...

It does in certain situations. On GPS mode it will "pop" open another window to show the turn/exit as shown. Also if watching a movie it and using the gps it will do the same. However there is no setting for you to do this yourself.

in most cases it all depends on the voice settings of the GPS. Only certains voices will say the street names. Check the voice settings

Ok I am finding the best way for me to manage multiple stops is just to punch them in as Add as Via Point, then go to Custom Routes, Current Route, Save, then Manual Reorder. When you are Done the GPS shows you a map with your Start, Stops and End flags along the pink route line. Manually Reorder again if needed. If you know that you can't park on the side of the street Garmin wants you to just over/under shoot your turn, it will reroute you to go around the block and still reach your point. I updated the unit with the latest maps yesterday and it still has a problem with oneway streets.

AFAIK, only the 7x0 series and up have multi-point routing. The other Nuvi units allow for one waypoint to be added. Larry, if the 265wt has multi-point routing, it's the first I've heard about this.Edit: Larry, I just checked with some people on gpsreview.net and they agree with you. This is a undocumented feature. Thanks for your input!
