Customer Ratings & Reviews

After updating it, I love it. Works great, pretty accurate, not perfect but it will get you where you want to go. Display is nice big, the touch screen works real nice

I was hesitant to get another Garmin GPS due to poor optimal routing and poor traffic avoidance, compared to Google maps or WAZE. I decided to give Garmin one more chance and I am glad I did. This GPS has great traffic avoidance and destination routing. I compare it often to routing from google maps or Waze and most of the time it give the exact same directions, sometimes an even better route. The traffic routing in rush hours is almost as good as google maps or Waze, about 70% of the time if give the exact same route google maps does .

I brought this for myself, it works very good.. the gps very smart, it help a lot when you drive.. this gps is perfect for very one.

This is my third garmin product. I use it everyday and it works great.

So far, this Garmin is perfect. I needed something with a large screen since my new vehicle did not come with one built in. It is easy for me to use and see. Also, it has helped me out numerous times (I have only owned for about a month). Not sure if it said it in the description, if so, I missed it, but it comes with the window mount so no need to buy one. Regarding price, I am not sure if it is considered expensive, but I bought it on sale and was able to use my rewards so it was a great price.

Great GPS, Idenifes traffic problems then gives you options. Easy to see screen. Typical Garmin quality.

I purchased the Garmin Smart Drive 65 to replace an old Nuvi 40 which still works fine. The display on the Smart Drive 65 is almost twice the size of the Nuvi. The display is bright and does well in the bright sun, I don’t get any reflections on the screen. I find the points of interest features nice when visiting new places. I’ve linked the Garmin to my Smart Phone with the Smart Link app. But really haven’t had the chance to use it much. It does send a notice to my maps app of where my car is parked when I turn my Garmin off.

This Garmin DriveSmart 65 provides what I wanted most: live traffic to simplify my routing. This Garmin was on sale so the price met my budget. It is worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Loved the screen size and clarity, great notifications of speed limit changes, upcoming construction and general directions.....extremely happy that I choose this Garmin...

Bought this unit and used it to navigate a nearly 2,000 mile round trip, so I definitely got to give it a good test. The features are great, it's easy to use and the "Up Ahead" feature is very useful. We were pulling a camper so we had it set to show truck stops, rest stations, and historic locations. The down side and the reason I gave it a three is that the routing is not too good once you're off of the highway. Many POI addresses are incorrect. The unit tried many times to turn me down dirt roads, driveways and just plain wrong roads. Once or twice can be a fluke, but at least once every time I've used it, there was a routing issue. If you followed this thing blind, it would get you in a lot of trouble. I will keep it because of its usefulness on a long highway road trip, but I do not find it useful unless I already have a pretty good idea where I am going. I also own a GPSMAP 64 with City Navigator which routes better than this unit which I find odd.

Easy to use , easy to follow and love the split screen when making a exit. Lots of cool features like telling you what types of restaurants are in front of you and speed traps... so cool!

Great buy, easy to use. Accurate information and updates.

It’s a good gps! Only problem I have had is, freezing up or shutting down while driving.

Easy to use. Very helpful on roads you’re not familiar with. Just wish it would show the multi-lan previews a little earlier. They don’t show up till you’re already there so it would be harder to change lanes in heavy traffic.

Like the screen size and the traffic head's up. Really bad speech recognition when asking for directions, Keeps suggesting Ace Hardware. Does the voice get a kick back?

Garmin GPS is okay. Taking time to learn how to utilize all of the features

Works Great….. we were looking for something that showed all the street names real time while driving. New to the area and it met the challenge. In store customer assistance lacked greatly. My wife ask a female associate for help with the GPS’s, she said she’d be right there. After 10 minutes, I had to go find her talking with another associate.

Replaced an older 5 inch Garmin. Surprised how much bigger the screen appears - almost got the new 8 inch one which I think I would have regretted. Built in wifi is great.

Works great happy with the product, have always had a Garmin product

Very nice and clear easy to use love the maps are on point
