Good product......very poor installation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Garmin Drive Smart 65 is a good product with, a sharp and clear picture. Was supposed to be an in-dash installation. Was installed with suction cups that do not stick well to the outside of the dash. In-dash, brackets are sold at Best Buy but apparently the store does not stock them.

Great device
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this because my old GPS couldn't be updated anymore. This was great and had no trouble with the directions, It showed everything including the traffic and even gave deer warnings. Loved how it gave milage to the next towns so you could see how you were progressing.

The frustration is real
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The navigational part works great. As far as I know, I don't have much of an accent but this darn thing can never understand where I am asking to go! It is so frustrating that I end up pulling over to use it and I scream at the darn thing! For this reason, I absolutely hate the product. BUT, I needed something with Bluetooth for my phone to go through in my older model truck. Works well for that but the volume doesn't go up very high but the quality of sounds was much more clear than the other devices I have tried.

Great size for easy reading
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Many years ago I tried a garmin and it missed three of my major exits. Since then I always owned a TomTom. I went in for a TomTom but the color is now very muted which is confusing to me. I tried a garmin. It always takes time to learn something new. I had great guidance at Best Buy. From there I had great guidance from garmin support. The size is great for my changing vision. I love being able to delete one or all of the addresses. On TomTom it’s all or nothing. I do miss having one step adjustments on the screen such as volume. It takes two steps which I feel takes too much focus from driving. Take a break and adjust it if you wind up in a roaring rain. All in all I’m extremely happy with it.

Garmin is the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had my new unit for a few weeks now and it works great , I especially love the construction notifications they are a godsend. My only complaint is the fact that my unit doesn’t come with a screen lock option because every time I touch it some other screen pops up and it gets kind of annoying.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wonderful GPS. Voice command works well. Easy to see, but is a bit big in the window. Best to place it where it won't obscure your view.

Not 100% reliable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the size, easy to see. I'm okay with the ring when driving over the speed limit, hubby don't like it. It has sent us on a wild goose chase a couple times already. Weird for brand new. Did not end up where we wanted to go. Happened only 2 or 3 times. Also asked for no toll roads and still took us to tolls. That was very disappointing. Kind of regret buying it, but needed one asap, so keeping it.

Posted .Thank you, we appreciate your feedback. The GPS is designed to create routes by estimating the fastest and most direct way to reach a destination using major roadways. There are several navigation settings on your device that can affect the way it calculates routes.
To check Navigation settings: on the GPS select Settings, then select Navigation and check the following:
• Calculation Mode – Garmin recommends keeping this set to Faster Time
• Avoidances – place a checkmark next to items you want to avoid
Out-of-date maps or software can also cause your device to route inappropriately. This model includes built-in Wi-Fi for easy map and software updates without a computer.
