I originally bought this unit for my car. It was simply to large to be able to see around in the windshield or high on the dash. Ended up with the 55 version and it is the perfect size for a car.

This Smart Drive 65 Unit is great when it works. But I use it every day and after 2 to 3 months, it just stops working. Thank god I always get the extended warranty on it. I have been through about 20 units so far. The warranty always gets me a replacement from Best Buy. I called Garmin to complain but they really did not care. If you buy a Garmin unit and plan to use it 5 times a week, be sure to purchase the extended warranty on the unit. When it fails you will be glad to purchased it. I am a truck driver and I cannot live without a GPS system. Can you imagine the replacement cost of 20 units?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Old Garmin stopped working after 12 years, love everything about this new one, large screen, can pair my phone with it for hands free calling when driving my 2010 Equinox.
Also, appreciate Best Buy price matching, bought unit for same price as Amazon price.

I really like the larger screen, and this one seems to load the route a bit quicker than my previous GPS.
