Size and ease of use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this unit june of 2020 on sale and what an amazing unit. Unit seems solid and well built. Pros: ease of use, being able to use Bluetooth on your phone to send your destination to the unit. Cons: sometimes my phone doesn't automatically connect to the unit once its powered on. turning it off and back on fixes the issue. Nothing serious enough to not purchase. Not being able to display the time and direction being traveled at the same time use to bother me but I got use to it. It would still be nice to customize the screen though. When alerts are turned off they stay off. There's several other options within the unit that I can't comment on because I don't use them.

Wonderful to have the Garmin DriveSmart65
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Garmin NUVI many years ago, but since my current cars had good navigation, I sort of let that go. Rental cars are whole different animal. Since I needed something reliable for use with a rental car, I purchased this Garmin DriveSmart 65, and I am completely satisfied. I like the loud volume, accuracy of the maps and the easy to use the Garmin app on my laptop to download updates. I had to purchase the proper "cup holder" from a 3rd party vendor, which worked out great. I look forward to using my Garmin DriveSmart65 for a few more years of renting cars in other locations.

Excellent for Seniors
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 7 inch screen is a great selling point along with life time map updates, traffic updates, live parking, smart notifications - ex: red light camera ahead, over the speed limit etc. The instructional voice in not as annoying as my previous Garmin, it doesn’t scream recalculating when u miss a turn, it simply gives u left and right instructions until you get back on route, love that.

Great GPS unit
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit was purchased as an upgrade to my prior Garmin that I have had for 8 years. I like the clarity and size of the unit. The unit allows me to update the maps via WiFi which is much more convenient than my olderunit which required connection to a computer for updates. It also easily pairs with the Garmin app and provides live traffic updates.

Q: QuestionDoes a charger come with this? It doesn’t state that it does.
Asked by Adam.
- A:Answer Yes, a charger (car) comes with it as does a usb to connect to your computer. I would suggest you purchase a Garmin stand for use on your dashboard. The suction cup one that comes with it tends to fall off with a change in temperature.
Answered by WirelessUser
Q: QuestionDoes this come with a Quick Start booklet? Or do I have to go on-line and figure out how to use it?
Asked by PerAxel.
- A:Answer No instructions. Little leaflet tells you to mount it, power it up, & it's ready to go. There appears to be a PDF manual on the Garmin WebSite. I consider the lack of an included hardcopy manual to be customer-unfriendly. But that's just me.
