Screen is very clear but the directions and ETA were a bit off from the ETA on my GPS app on phone. It is helpful as a backup to see a bigger picture.

Good quality, the screen is big and sharp. The sound is clear and the directions are good. So far no complaints, you can also speak to it hands-free. Now, this is pricey but worth it and it will answer your phone too!

This product is amazing and worth the price. We purchased for our trip where no phone signal was there, and it really helped all our way and we could move anywhere without any stress.
A must buy if you are going to a place with no signal and map is required.

This Garmin has a much larger screen than our old one. It also has more options on it. We did have to update it when we got it because it had businesses located in the directory in our town that had been closed for business for many years. Love how it tells you what lanes to get in when driving on the highways.

Overall I like this GPS unit. The size is great and the display is very nice. My only issue is the live traffic. It did not update on my last trip, which resulted in me being stuck in traffic from a major accident for over three hours (I checked Waze after getting stuck and found out the wreck had occurred thirty minutes before I got stuck).

This portable GPS is running well. Its maps don't seem to be as up-to-date as those of Google Maps, but then google maps doesn't attach to the windshield. They work well enough, and it's reassuring for the person I bought this for, who only wants a flip phone anyway. The only issue that we've noticed is that, if you turn it off while the car is running, it freezes up the dashboard screen, and you actually have to turn the car off and turn it back on again to unfreeze it.

After purchase and more consideration, we opted to return this Garmin. We need one more appropriate for towing a camper. I have a Garmin that is about 15 years old that has been updated regularly and still works great. Based on experience and lack of problems, Garmin makes a great product and I would recommend!

Large screen for easy, fast viewing. The voice commands work well and keep hands off the device for on the go navigation without having to stop to enter information. If this were to fail, outside of the warranty period, I would definitely purchase again.

A great upgrade for an older car that has limited Apple play capabilities. My wife bought this for a trip to the east coast. It worked great. A perfect replacement for those with an older car or an older smartphone with limited GPS capabilities.

The gps worked good when traveling the roads, but once I was running VV Mapping for Michigan orv trails the legal back roads did not show the color correctly. This is (or was) a Garmin issue. The color was correct when ram on the Drivesmart 61.
I would recommend this unless running VV Mapping on it.
