    Bought to replace an older Garmin. This is very easy to get used to and locating addresses is easier than before. Very nice graphics and the traffic feature is very helpful.

    GPS is Easy to set up and easy to use. Much better at letting you know exactly where to turn than my 2 prior gps’ by another brand.

    This Garmin is very easy to use. I like that it can show what the upcoming exit will look like. I used it going thru Canada and had no problems with it.

    Has been consistent. No glitches. Nice voice recognition. Screen is the perfect size. Battery life seems pretty good if you’re not connected by a cord.

    Nice clear display and not hard to program once you have done some practice routes. Bad thing was that the correction to return to your route could be better. I use it in my motor home and some times it showed more than a mile of travel before suggesting a course to bet back on route instead of just going around the nest block like my Tom-Tom does. Don't really like having to enter the house number, street, city and then the state in that order. Prefer to do state, city first etc... does have great option of things to see and do around your location/destination.

    Way better that the build in because it is easier to up date and they last for years. Gave my old one to my son. I wanted the new features on the new one.

    This is really nice to have. The screen is perfect size. No bulky and is lightweight. I really like how it shows what lane to be in for exits.

    I had to replace my old GPS because it did not update the maps automatically. I tried a couple of them before I settled with Garmin DriveSmart 55. I just found it great!

    My problem with Garmin GPS, is when the battery wears out it's basically trash, because you can hardly get new batteries for it a an affordable price and if you do, that battery is likely no good too.
