Love the bigger screen, very good at navigating. Small issue getting it set up as I’m not a geek & don’t know a lot about blue tooth, WiFi or internet-we do still exist & have money to spend on products. Clearer directions would have been better, we were lucky to enlist help from a family member otherwise this purchase would have been returned.

My dad travels around for work everyday and he needed a new GPS. Found this one on sale and we are absolutely impressed with all of it's capabilities. No only does it reroute to go around traffic jams but it has built-in-Bluetooth so when it is synced to your phone you can be hands free for phone calls. Definitely recommend!

Amazing GPS. I know must think GPS's are a thing of the past. But I love using mine. This new one to me is heads and tails above the last Garmin I had. Love the Wi-fi and Bluetooth. Highly recommend, if still in the market for GPS.

East to use. Great maps. Improved directions. More visible in daylight.
Disappointed by the "DriveSmart 65 & Traffic" description. It does not come with the traffic receiver. You must use the data on your cell phone for traffic or purchase a $60 traffic receiver.

I love this thing. Just make sure you have you timezone adjustment on! haha, but imo this works better than Google or Apple maps. Lots of cool features, very detailed and large enough to see well if your dash is deep. Also, when you first start it up you'll need to go outside so you can connect to the satellite

The large 7-inch screen makes this Garmin a superior experience to Google Maps on a pocket-size phone. The interface is similar to the older Garmin products I've used, so it is familiar and easy to use right out of the box. The large size does present a bit of a mounting problem and I opted to buy a separate bracket that allows for hanging it off a vent and that has worked out okay. Overall, this is a very capable unit and the Bluetooth is a plus. Garmin makes some much more expensive units, but this one can be had for well under $200 when it is on sale.

This works perfectly. I wanted to go back to the old gps to have a larger screen on long cross country drives. This does the trick and updates to my phone quickly to change routes if there is a crash ahead.

Have used Garmin for many years. This a very good unit for cross country or lots of local travel on unfamiliar roads or destinations. Have been a Garmin user for many years and highly recommend their units. Just visit a BestBuy store and see units first hand.

It has been years since I have used a GPS since I rely on my phone to get me to where I need to go. However, my father in law is old and likes a bigger screen of a GPS. His last GPS, which was over 10 years old, died so I bought him this one. Also, his car doesn't have Apple or Android Auto. I was impressed by the ease of setup, updating the maps/software/firmware. GPS is quick and responsive while using it. I am still going to stick with my phone for my maps but this is a great solution for those people that need a different option.

Easy to use and I love the live traffic feature and the talkback. Worth the extra money for those features. I could care less about synching up with the app as all the features I need are on this unit.

This operates fairly well and reliably. The mount is the weak point. The accuracy is so good. Well worth the money. Was able to find a great way back in the woods camping spot TWICE with this product. Thank goodness for satellites!

The larger display works well for a dash mounted unit. Having current map information versus stored information insures good routings. I haven't figured out how to change the default state location yet. I will research that. Overall a thumbs up on this unit.
