I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Battery life
Garmin comes up short.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First of all this GPS is not intuitive at all. Navigating through it's menus can be confusing. Garmin still uses a Mini-B usb interface which is outdated, a usb-c would have been a better choice. My daughter lives in a two year old shore community in S. Carolina and her street of residence is not in their map software. Yes Garmin, I updated to the latest version of software. Her address is easily found when I use Waze and Google maps. Shame on you Garmin, you're probably the best GPS manufacturer in the world but your software is not up to par. I can't find a way to disconnect the phone from the Garmin device without turning off Bluetooth on my phone. I don't want to disconnect Bluetooth because Bluetooth is required for traffic updates. The battery life of this unit is short, only about an hour.With the listed deficiencies i will only use my brand new Garmin as a backup to the mobile apps i mentioned.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GarminProductExpert
Posted .I am happy to help address some of your dislikes. Any addresses that are not in the mapping can be reported directly to the mapping provider Here, https://supportforms.garmin.com/en-US/form/report-map-error/. Depending on population and local municipalities reporting it can take time for new addresses to be entered. You can always use the save my location feature wherever you are for these scenarios. Bluetooth is not needed for traffic updates on the DriveSmart 65 & Traffic device as its able to receive these notifications without the smartphone connected. Although portable these navigators are not handhelds and do require power to operate and the standby battery is for short use while entering addresses or planning a trip. If its a handheld navigator you need I recommend looking into our Outdoor handheld devices as they are able to operate under battery power. Feel free to provide any details of your ideas on the Garmin Ideas page here, garmin.com/ideas. We are constantly working to provide the best user experience and welcome your feedback. Thank you for being part of the Garmin Family.

Garmin out did itself!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best GPS that I have used. Love the traffic and weather updates
I would recommend this to a friend Good overall but lacks some desirable features
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first one of these Garmins lasted 10 years and finally quit on me. This new model has a better display and can be more effectively voice controlled. On the negative side, it doesn't give me the quickest route to destinations using side streets, etc. It guides through main roads - which I can live with. I had a Tom Tom for a while and liked that it would direct me the quickest way and that would change automatically based on time of day traffic volume. Garmin just gives me the same old route not taking time of day into consideration. Overall though, it's a good system.
