Great GPS unit. Replaced my wife's old Garmin nuvi. Hands free destination searching works great! Having trip advisor built in is awesome

This is a great GPS with a responsive touch screen and reliable directions. The two downsides are that it has absolutely terrible battery life and the voice commands are pretty bad. You will often say a point of interest and it will pull up a bunch of different options that are not remotely close to what you said.

Easy to set up and use. Seems very accurate so far, and now when I get calls on my cell, it doesn't interfere with my maps.

I bought this for my mom back in June because she really needed something to help her get around. I like the way that it was when I was at the store. It had good quality, good graphic and seems like it was made pretty awesome vs other ones that you can get.

This Garmin is just what we needed. I have used a TomTom for many years and this Garmin that I purchased is better than sliced bread. The features that it has really surprised us. We took a 1500 mile trip and it guided us with no problems.

Works right out the box. No need to connect to the computer to set up. Just use athe app with an available wifi connection and Bluetooth to update if necessary. Great update to my previous Garmin GPS model.

I purchased this Garmin to replace an old Garmin---no problems with either unit---just wanted larger screen and a few features that were not on old Garmin. I really like the Garmin products have not had issues with 3 of them that I have owned. I cannot find anything to say to improve them, they are the best in my eyes.

I have struggled with using a smartphone with Google Maps and Apple Maps. Sometimes they work, often they are wonky. Then everytime an update comes out, everything is reset! Garmin's DriveSmart 65 has a nice large screen, is fast, responsive and many helpful options and features.
If you are frustrated with a phone GPS system, I highly recommend this item. for the ultimate in flexibility, get the Garmin - Vehicle Mount for GPS - Black - works for even those "hard to mount" problems.

It is a tad different from out last Garmin, but we really like the bigger screen and added features (still learning about those). It gets us where we're going and helps us navigate traffic. I would definitely buy again!

It works perfectly! I have had wonderful success with Garmin for many years. They are simply the best when it comes to Automotive GPS units. I currently have 2 of DriveSmart 65's. I would have more but I only have two vehicles!

As a snowbird, I use a GPS going back and forth between locations. This traffic GPS replaced a smaller 5" Garmin GPS. The added size is both noticeable and appreciated. The traffic function is an added appreciated function.
