    BUY THE BEST. Cheap foreign GPS units are terribly inaccurate w/out the ability to update maps. Have tried two different foreign units and they were worse than useless. No updates available for those.

    I really like this GPS. I have owned Garmin GPS in the past and really like this one the best. I like the large screen, voice control and traffic notifications. Although I have a built in GPS in my car I prefer using the Garmin.

    This was an upgrade from a Nuvi 1490. Can't say the maps are any better, but it has lots of extra features. This is my third Garmin. I do have GPS in my car, but it's outdated. I like the life time map and traffic feature.

    Over all I'm very happy with my new GARMIN DriveSmart 65 GPS. I did notice that it seemed to insist that a local highway was closed, but it isn't, it's just under construction. otherwise it's been very accurate

    If you get out of your vehicle for a long period of time your phone Bluetooth disconnects from it's hard reconnecting the GPS back to your Bluetooth.

    I bought this product for my work on the road and the best thing about this Garmin is it alerts you on road conditions and recommended you to take other easier routes.

    Love that we can go more the a couple hundred mile at a time with out entering a new destination. Went from California to Georgia with one entry. Much better upgrade then the one we had.

    I loved the features. The only thing I didn't like was that it lost track of which time zone I was in on my return trip which made arrival times somewhat confusing.

    Just took it for our Niagara Falls,ON vacation. No issues finding places in Canada. Just make sure you update your maps. I preferred the square of my old Garmin 7" mount to this one (round) but you get use to it. On sale too!

    this Garmin DriveSmart 65 GPS works great. I use it in two older cars that do not have built in navigation. I gave it 4 stars as it is a bit behind in map updates of current roads that google maps already has updated.

    The larger screen on the Garmin DriveSmart 65 is an essential feature. Being new in town, we have to rely on the GPS to get us where we want to go. The visibility in the car, including when you are driving with sunglasses, makes the Garmin an outstanding product. We purchased two of these devices, one for my wife's car and one for my car.
