    If you have a any road trip this is perfect. I bought it for my daughter to get back and forth from college. It helps so much and makes sure she doesn’t have to hold or look at her phone to use that gps.

    After research many GPS receivers, the Garmin - DriveSmart 55 was the best one for me. The small scene will fit in well in my car. I also like that you get free updates.

    Accurate, reliable, clear directions. It tells you what lane to use on the highway/interstate. So much better than using a smartphone or Google maps. Wish I had bought one sooner!

    Excellent GPS. Very accurate in directions and calculating travel time. I really like the Visual display of Exit ramps. It makes being in the proper lane very easy when exiting highway.

    This does a great job getting me where I want to go. It works well going to unfamiliar locations and also keeps me informed as to expected ETA when traveling to either new or old destinations.

    I chose this GPS because of its size and because it shows which lane I should be in at a complex exit. Sometimes it inserts a last-moment change to the correct lane, but in general it is better than having no directions at all.

    I bought this to replace my old Garmin that was over 15 years old. I love the new features and no irritating "recalculating" every time I pull into a rest area.

    Sometimes it matches google maps, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it's highly accurate for construction and other times it says the road section you're driving on is closed and it's recalculating, over and over. Sometimes it quickly finds what you're searching for and other times ignores the place you want a mile away and finds something several time zones away. Speed limits were mostly accurate on our cross country trip.

    Great product. The size is very visible and it doesn’t weigh much. I would suggest Best Buy check for recent prices so a customer doesn’t over pay.

    Works great but the voice command needs major improvement. It typically won’t find the streets I need if they are have any Spanish/Hispanic names which is common in New Mexico.
