Customer Ratings & Reviews

The voice command feature is very useful in the event that I have to find a place while on the go, I just have say what I'm looking for as opposed to pulling over and having to type it in.

Easy to use. Love the new traffice features in the newer Garmins

We've purchased many Garmin products over the years, and they very rarely disappoint. Lifetime updates, overall quality, fantastic features keep us coming back. The only problem we have with this DriveSmart model is that it no longer takes traffic updates over the air via its included car power adapter. You now need to pair a cell phone with cellular data in order to get traffic data. This is a step back, in my opinion. It's nice to have additional features, like cell pairing for hands-free, updating, etc., but to require a cell phone for real-time traffic is disappointing.

I'm tech limited, old guy, but this GPS unit was very easy to set up for basic use. This GPS has more functions than I think I will ever use. Took a trip from Jackson, MS to Houston, TX, got me there and back home with no problem.

I really enjoy the new Garmin with the live traffic feature and the speed limit warnings. Works great. I tried to use the voice commands on this model and it never recognizes what I am saying. That feature is worthless.

Great product, Built-In Bluetooth, Lifetime Map Updates and Lifetime Traffic Updates is the best plus

I've always enjoyed using GARMIN GPS and that's why I picked another one for traveling to Canada. Overall very satisfied with the product but will need to test it when I go to Canada, not knowing when though.

I'm a delivery driver and very dependent on my GPS to get me places that are hard to find and the quickest routes. This Garmin has impressed up to this point and actually I'm still trying to figure some of the extra bells and whistle's.

The GPS connects to your wi-fi via your phone so you get up to date traffic, red light camera and speed alerts. It even alerted me to police activity. The police activity alert shocked me but was helpful I drove right into the alert warning area not playing attention.

I think it is a Great GPS. I would recommend to anyone.

Purchase for my boyfriend he loves it. Great buy!! Only con wasn't many voices to choose from

This must be used with app for traffic updates, or you can buy a separate cable from Garmin for an additional 70$. I didn't want to use phone data or battery, so returned it. The older model without the S doesn't require the app to run traffic updates.

Better than average for mid grade GPS. Many features require pairing with smartphones and/or additional app purchases. Speaker phone sounds ok at best and app alerts are annoying but can be turned off.

Husband needed one for his vehicle for ease of getting around our new city. Came in very handy with traveling over the holidays as well. The Bluetooth option is great! Much safer than messing with the phone.

Bought as replacement for an old GPS. Much simpler to program, wireless connection via wifi for updates. Clear screen and voice providing directions.

My older Series 49 Garman GPS just not getting the job done...annual downloads on $89 per...just needed an upgrade. This one really filled all my requirements: free lifetime updates, roadside info on restaurants, gasoline stations, restrooms, and points of interest, larger, brighter display, I could go on. One thing you need to know about the modern Garmins...to register your gps unit, you must connect it to your computer. The tutorial is an optional part of this process, but I opted to spin thru it. It took me an over an hour to do this, but I certainly learned a lot about what the unit can do. I'm very pleased with this unit (incidentally my 3rd, all Garmin) in terms of it's capabilities, visibility, and the lifetime free updates.

Pretty good not perfect. Coordinates off School/SL.

The case is very sturdy. It fits on my phone well.

This is my second. Have had a Nuvi for 5 years. The video on it finally died after doing too many headers off the windshield in excessive heat. My fault. Flawless in performance though and I expect the same from the newer model. My only dislike is actually the Bluetooth. I would like it to communicate directly to the unit for directions but NOT phone calls. I don't this this is actually possible, so I end up enabling and disabling Bluetooth often. What I am asking it to do is to be discretionary and it's not possible. Love my garmin!

This is a great GPS for anyone that travels. Lifetime updates and great touch screen.
