Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great at helping locate destinations on road trips.

I like this gps looks nice very functional. I like the traffic delay notices as well as the whats up ahead option. It makes it easy to find food, bank, and gas stations. It gets 4 stars though because in mild heat the suction cup will fall off the window. And I have had a escort radar detector on my car for over 2 years and it's never fallen.

This GPS unit works really well. The only complaint that I have is that it loses the Amazon Alexa connection sometimes.

This is my second Garmin navigation system. It has a much more detailed high resolution screen and upgraded features. The only feature my old garmin had that this doesn't have is "altitude ". Otherwise, a very nice portable navigation system. Well worth the money. Alan C

Have a Nuvi 2555, and it is 98% flawless. It's getting old and thought it's time for a new Garmin. So I did my homework and thought the new Garmin Drive Smart 65 with Alexa would be what I need. Has great features, but can not depend on it, it can actually be dangerous. I have called Garmin multiple times, customer service is great, but so far can not solve the problems. I returned the unit to Best Buy (Great Customer Service) in exchange for another. The new one has the same issues. Reloaded updates, still problems, tried all Garmins advice but still not working, I'll call them again. Problems are. The visual screen shows to turn right, but the verbal say's to turn left.(That cost me 2 hours it Nashville and was sending me up a wrong way entering a major highway fortunately I caught it. ) Im at the destination, but it sends me 7 miles further.(frequently) Follow a route it's done multiple times correctly, but this time takes me way out of the way (15miles) but does get to destination. Today I have an emergency and have to travel 800 miles, I wish I could depend on it for hands free driving. I will take it, the Nuvi, and my cell phone to navigate through Atlanta and Tampa.

Good yet a tad sluggish at times. Alexa's voice response however is spot on and efficient. Syncing between Alexa on mobile device and the GPS was simple. This product would be superb with 'Traffic' feature. Overall a solid product.

I’ve owned three other Garmins in the past, and this is the best one yet, especially with the added Amazon Alexa. Although not perfect, the voice recognition is much better than my previous Garmin DriveSmart 51. Also love the 6.95” display. Overall a very good GPS by Garmin.

I LOVE IT!! Its easy to set up and ver easy to use. Ver self explanatory. Volume is pretty loud so its not too easy to miss the Verbal directions given by the device. Only reason I don't give it a 5 star rating is I wish it displayed the Current location (ex Savanna Georgia ) You are driving thru.

I couldn't be happier with this devise. If I plot in an address in the middle of a corn field, it will put me there in the shortest amount of time and distance. I use it because I travel extensively to many remote areas. It is a wonderful tool.

It is a great GPS! The added abilities of Alexa have made hands free so much better. My son can just tell Alexa what he wants to listen to instead of me trying to find it on my phone. I love the WiFi capabilities for the automatic updates!

Wife bought it for me because I’m a patrol deputy. It is extremely helpful when going from call to call. The Alexa can be annoying though because dispatch will occasionally set it off.

Love the large display that enables better situational awareness and quick reference for upcoming turn direction, which lane(s) to be in, etc. Love the ability to just say, rather than enter, a destination. The Alexa feature is also great provided your phone data plan has enough data.

The Garmin voice command is good though it can't be like Google voice to answer any questions you have but direction only. Feel good to have it instead of using the phone and the vc is great. you will love it.

Garmin again i love to know where i am going and where the next stops are .. but i have not found Alexa .. sorry she must be mad never heard her in it ,,she must have got lost

Excellent GOS navigator! I travel quite a bit, so having a portable for the rental vehicle saves money. I also use it as a back up for my personal vehicle.

Ups: -Clear and responsive display. -Accurate and updated maps -Able to wirelesly connect backup camera which operates like modern oem equipped vehicles Downs: -Integrated speakers are difficult to hear -Music player app is buggy

I love this GPS with Alexa. You can change the voice, make it male or female and even with or without an accent.

Efficient, vision-friendly.Still not reflecting my new home address, and I have to switch to WAZE, at times, accordingly.

History helps locate historical sites. Ability to play music via smartphone. It'll display areas of traffic congestion. Model includes weather radar and 6-day weather forecast, etc.

This device has a lot of features. You can play music thru your speakers or the garmin speaker. You can speak your directions instead of typing them. Sometimes it's hard for the garmin to understand but overall pretty good.
