I said good because I have faith it would have been good. However I decided to return it and continue to use the old one. Old faithful still fit my needs. Please note I did not keep this item! Didn't want to spend more money when I did not need to. I gave good ratings because I believe in GPS. Always have served me well over the years.

I will not give it a five star rating just yet because I do not think we have completely learned how to totally run it. It did a wonderful job of getting us to our destination. But, we did have some construction issues on a State Highway that we were not alerted to before we started driving. I don't think it gave us any options. But, that is OK. We made it safe and sound to our destination and back.

Easy to set up and read, the screen is big enough to zoom in and get detailed directions. Well worth the money for a good value GPS.

This Garmin is great and we like it except for one thing. We cannot get the screen brightness to stay at 100%. It starts off great but then after a few minutes it gets dark and is almost impossible to see. Otherwise it's great.

This is the third Garmin GPS I've bought, and it's pretty good. The maps are basically perfect, and the screen definition has definitely improved. There are bells and whistles (Traffic alerts, weather radar, phone interaction) which in practice isn't as user friendly as you might think. This unit is best used as an updated, speedy new GPS that will guide you down the road.

Works very well, and the best part is I don’t have to tie up the phone with navigation.
This comes through when the phone navigation won’t work in rural areas. Great to have , even as a backup. We love the feature of self updating when you connect to WiFi .
Great product overall.

This product is amazing! I love it! I took a trip from Pensacola to Ft. Lauderdale, and by using it, avoided a major slowdown on the Florida Turnpike. I plan on using it next on my trip to Greensboro, NC!

Have had an old version of Garmin. Used it constantly but I could not a see it well in sunshine. The new ones are like your cell phone maps— bright and clear. And so many extras. It’s equivalent to the GPS in new cars. Even shows my cell phone messages and texts.

the garmin 65 seems to work ok but for one glaring failure, the voice command part of it has a lot of trouble recognizing addresses I have to type in the address, outside of that little problem it works well
