Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this Garmin for my husband for Christmas. He works part-time and picks up mail all over the place for the company he works for, The Garmin really helps when there are accidents, and he needs a different way to get home. He is very pleased and thus, so am I.

great easy to use great value loads of features totally portable

I am very happy with my GPS . The screen is much bigger than my previous one . I like the fact that you don't have to know the address of your destination . You install the name of where you want to go and it will give you the address and directions

I like the size of this model and the ease of being able to read the screen. I had a Garmin before and needed to replace it and this one is great.

Love this Garmin and it’s larger screen. Easy to use and do many functions, I can even connect to the TXDOT (Texas highway camera systems) to see traffic.

I have had several different GPS's and have always like Garmin the best. The larger screen works well for me along with the traffic updates.

Garmin has always been my go to for navigation for both work and on my personal vehicle. Love the wide screen, makes it simple to view, especially as I get older.

The GPS works good. But, the map had to be updated and I can't plug it in anywhere but my car. I was only given a 12 volt plug in for my car. I have to buy extras. like a case to carry it, a plug-in for my computer so I can update the map. All said I think I could have done better. Also, it is a lot of money and not worth the price.

Love this thing mainly for the big screen. Has turn by turn directions and traffic too. Perfect for us old people that can't see maps on a cell phone screen.

I had an old Nüvi Garmin that I relied on a lot. The newDriveSmart 65 is a big improvement in many ways, starting with the most obvious: that big, bright, beautiful screen that is easy to read, even with my aging eyes, And scales itself automatically. A nice feature is that the DriveSmart puts flames at every entry in the saved list. Entering addresses is a big improvement, too, with a bigger virtual keyboard - but be careful, being a touch screen, it is easy to make typos. The faster processor makes finding destinations and plotting routes easier. Sometimes the location of a destination is misplaced - I believe there is a way to correct them, but I have not delved into how to do that, nor have I delved into integrating the DriveSmart with the free Garmin Traffic app. A nice feature is the unit telling you to “turn right at the traffic light” or stop sign. Garmins in general have been good about routing around traffic, announcing accidents coming up - it would be nice to know which lane of those Dallas freeways they are in- and giving alternate routes, which I can actually see now. Highly recommended.

Love the large screen and the fact it doesn’t keep trying to make you turn around if you don’t follow it’s directions exactly. It finds new paths. Battery life seems a bit short but I keep it plugged in most of the time.

Great GPS. Always loved garmin Gps!! Perfect size. 6.95 love the wifi so I don't have to hook it up to my computer. Just as fast!

This is a large display screen GPS with more features than most users will need. It is very easy to set up and use. This is perfect for long trips or in town driving.

User friendly very precise, I highly recommend this item. I used this to drive cross country it will tell you about road construction how far ahead and how long it last

I really like this up grade. It gives live traffic up dates and give alternative route that are available to you . It was easy to sit up and get ready to use.

The Garmin DriveSmart 65 & Traffic - 6.95" is a wonderful device. It is easy to handle after you get accustomed to its high sensitivity touch screen, easy to install and remove in/from the holder. The device's Quick Access software did allow transferring the addresses from my old Garmin to the new one - no need to enter the same addresses anew. The latest map available via the Quick Access is of 2020, however, so the of the exit names on the I95 are still old ones - that is a bit outdated and should be fixed.

I like the large display. Easy to use. Great buy.

Garmin is fast & accurate. The best part is the speed of this GPS. If you miss a turn, it adjusts your route automatically. There’s also free lifetime map updates. I’ve used a Garmin GPS in my cars since 2014. In-dash GPS can be expensive & the updates are usually not free. On a final note, you can preload your destination using the Garmin DriveSmart APP. Take this GPS for a test run. You will not regret it.

I moved here from out of state so my old tracker needed to be replaced. I am always happy with Garmin products. They are accurate and easy to use.

Excellent upgrade to my older GPS. Easy to operate and so far with just the destination name I have found all sites I have searched for and the directions were dead on.
