About the only difference between the two is that the 265 has bluetooth capability, which allows you to use your gps as a hands free device for your phone. If that isn't something you want, go with the 255.

Garmin Nuvi 265W is has feature a bluetooth, Garmin Nuvi 255W is not feature a bluetooth.

Garmin Nuvi 255W : same as 205W but has text-to-speech (you get turn by turn spoken directions with the real names of streets), 4.3-Inch diagonal touch screen color display, where am I function.

According to the Garmin website, the nuvi 265w has two features that the nuvi 255w doesn't....one is bluetooth and the other is FM traffic. If you go the garmin.com you can compare the models. When you get to the site click on products...then on the menu to the left click on widescreen. I have a nuvi 255w. It's pretty basic, but it has a feature I need the most....it speaks the street names. I probably would never use their bluetooth feature, so it's meaningless for me. If I was getting a new one, I probably would splurge and waste more money on one of the newer feature loaded models...I love electronics.

Garmin nuvi 255W is overall better than nuvi 265W for navigation capability,power, enclosure and connections whereas nuvi 265W is better than 255W for display, tool and entertainment.

The Price is a bit different (nuvi 255W is a bit higher than 265W)

Overall, I recommended nuvi 255W
