Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was debating between this model that had Alexa in it. Happy with purchase it works well on long road trips. I was skeptical of having Alex track me on trips but hard to decide because it will offer local hotels and restaurants. I really just use as a backup if I lose phone connection. Worth piece of mind and has never overheated as some posts mentioned.

My Dad me buy this for him, he loves it. He said the screen is super clear. He also said that when he hits a detour it helps him re route so that he can do the detour without him having to figure out how to get around the construction himself. He's super pleased with this GPS.

This was purchased for my wife to replace a Garmin device that was several years old. So far it has worked perfectly.

Prior GPS of another brand died while on a trip, so purchased this in N.J. Excellent coverage, precise directions, easy to read and figure out! Zero errors from NJ to Missouri. This is my 3rd GPS and the Garmin DriveSMart 65 & Traffic is the best GPS I've owned!

The Garmin Drive Smart 65 is reliable. The built-in Bluetooth makes it easy to sync with my phone and car. The display could be a little larger, but I do like that it highlights the correct lane with arrows on exit and entrance ramps.

Really like the Bluetooth connectivity and the graphics improvements since my last Garmin!

My fifth Garmin, works well but doesn't talk as much, like keep right or left when the interstate slits so you have to watch a little closer but it does a good job.

Excellent piece of equipment. I use it at work and is very useful. Enter lat and long directly to six digits.

I'm a home health RN and use this Garmin on a daily basis. It is quick and I've never had a place that I couldn't find yet. My patients love it when I can tell them my arrival time.

This Garmin GPS is great. It is very readable with a larger screen than our previous GPS.

Large screen makes it easy to follow. Red light camera detection is also a great feature.

TOTALLY LOVE MY GARMIN!! Now I love to get on the road without the hassle of road work and detours !!

I bought this for an upcoming trip to South Dakota. Before taking it to SD, I used it on a local road trip around 4 hours away. I used it a handful of times, maybe 6, and then it just stopped working. I turned it on about 3 hours away from home without plugging it in to see battery life. After 2 hours it tuned off. Since I was driving, I waited until I got home to plug it into a wall socket. But it wouldn’t turn back on, so I returned it. I came back here and read the reviews and apparently this is a common problem. There is a response from Garmin to ‘fix’ this. But then it will probably happen again. I paid over $250 for this thing. I want it to work EVERY TIME I plug it in. Why sell a product knowing it has issues?

I purchased this to put in are 4 X4 were we ride 400 acres of national foresty and we love it

This is my second Garmin, seven years later, and I’ve traveled to Europe successfully with my old one. This is better. Clearer, bigger, more features, better voice recognition. Only had it a month, but so far, Garmin improved on “Good “.

My dad loves this thing! Says he can't imagine going back

So my vehicle has no GPS. I don't like the phone GPS. This has many upgraded features since I used my older ones. I would like more voices, but taking a BLEFT (left) seems to be the status quo. I like the Speed Zone Change chirp. I like knowing the Digital speed shown vs the Speedometer Arm guess on my vehicle. Price was good, opted to forego the Traffic model & higher price.

I purchase this GPS for a trip because my son has the same one that he has been using for the last 6 years on his job He loves it and has had no problem I have used it and i give 5 stars

Didn't realize how big the 65 was, but my old eyes appreciate it. Standard Garmin features. Works well. Wish it had the magnetic power connection like my last one. Don't know why they stopped making those. It was extremely convenient.

This is my sixth GPS. Each year they get better. This is the best yet. It is better than my three experience with installed Toyota GPS. I mounted it and hard wired it in the left corner of the windshield. It is as good as heads up display in this location.
