    This Garmin GPS provides accurate road and destination information. It also provides useful information such as gasoline prices at nearby fuel centers.

    Good But Not Great

    I took me a little learning about the Apps but once you learn it the unit is very good. I love the history part of the App, but once you have explored that, the excitement is over. The mounting is requires several pieces and is not easy to pack on a trip. I need a two piece, power cord/unit, to travel to make it simple. This doesn't provide it.

    Great GPS for the money. The voice recognition is better than in previous generations, but it still is not awesome. If you don't put in the direction for a street address in the correct place it can't always find it. (Example: Average Ave N - not found, but North Average Ave or even Average Ave North will be found). Still an awesome GPS.

    Absolutely perfect for travel and new drivers

    We bought this to take to Lake, Placid NY and the Vermont areas of Stowe and Burlington. We preprogrammed the destinations into it and it worked flawlessly. The only thing that you must remember to do is whenever you are putting a destination that is outside of your present city, you must first change the city BEFORE inputting the address. Otherwise it will look for your destination in your present location. The screen is huge and easy to read. It stayed attached with the standard suction mount that came with it without ever falling off for the entire 4 days that we had it attached. We gave it to our teenagers' to keep in their car as they are new drivers and this is much safer than their trying to use their cell phones.

    Installation was a snap. Downloading the latest up to date map software was time consuming though. Once done everything works as it should.

    Writing this review after 1 month use. Good GPS with once we have everything enter manually like favourite/recent places and routes. It default doesn't search that accurately without our inputs. Overall satisfied

    This is a good product but the screen is too big to point it can be heavy to the mount. If you drive a small Jeep (Renegade) or a small car this GPS will not work. This screen size is more meant for bigger vehicles or trucks. This was just too big for my dash and even the best buy mount did not work so I returned both. I will stick to my phone from now on.

    I wanted to get a new Garmin to replace the older smaller model I purchased at Best Buy a year or 2 ago. So I went ahead and purchased the DriveSmart 65 & Traffic - 6.95” GPS with Built in Bluetooth- Back. I was told it updates using WiFi instead of having to connect it to the Computer with any cables. Which seems better. But it also still takes the MicroSDHC Card. So far it seems to work okay.
