purchased for my senior citizen mother. She doesn't like to use phone to navigate and loves Garmin. This is her second one. Very easy to use and set up

The Garmin - DriveSmart 66 was a huge disappointment. I bought it for a trip out to the Wyoming area. I had a list of places I was planning to go and wanted to add the addresses as favorites. Entering an address is still as convoluted as the older ones. You start with the numbers and work down. It defaults to the state it detects you're in, so it rarely finds the correct address until you change the state. Many addresses it couldn't find. One was next to Mount Rushmore, so they weren't in the middle of nowhere addresses. Google Maps had no issues with any of the addresses. I downloaded the map for offline use and used Google for the trip. I had a hotel in Casper, WY. All through Casper, the Garmin changed turns every few seconds, and the car on the map spun in circles. Several times, it said I was driving the wrong way on the highway. In other places, it would show that I wasn't driving on a road at all. I like the screen size, and the touch interface works like a smartphone. I had it connected to my phone via Bluetooth, and it displayed upcoming places like gas stations and restaurants. It showed a gas station coming up, and the next one was 90+ miles away, so I filled it up. There were many gas stations it didn't list on that stretch of road. In my opinion, it was a complete waste of money. It failed miserably in the one area it should've shined in.

Wonderful little device. Integrates nicely with Uconnect in my wife's little Fiat 500. The iPhone app to control it is easy to use, nicely feature and works very well.
Great GPS from the Top Maker of Navigation Device!

Very good GPS. I like that you can update the maps and firmware over WiFi, it connects to your phone via Bluetooth, and the traffic and weather info is accurate and up to date 98% of the time. The only issue I have is when I put in multiple stops and deviate from the recommended route, the unit won't show the updated highlighted route to the next stop . This only happens when multiple stops are entered and it's not a deal breaker by any means. Overall, this GPS is worth the money.
Not for motorhome navigation. Can't add dimensions

This Garmin doesn't have the capability to input our RV's dimensions, so we bought it for that reason. The folks at Best Buy were great about taking it back. We bought the trucker version, and a knowledgeable Best Buy employee helped us set it up. For a car, this works just fine, but not for a motorhome.

I have been a Garmin fan for years and this product is a product that delivers. It provides live updates of traffic, easy update of the maps. The screen is wide enough not to block the windshield. Really a great buy

Great device - normally would use my iPhone and the Maps app, however I purchased the BC-40 Backup Camera and needed a Garmin GPS to use it. Find this to be better than the iPhone as it provides more information.

This is a Great GPS for the price; Great features and functions; Have it hard-wired in my vehicle so it's easy to remove when necessary. Bright and clear screen; Easy to read day or night.

My experience with this item is compared to my old Garmin GPS, which recently gave up the ghost. This one is much better. I like seeing received messages briefly pop up on the screen so I can see if I need to answer them quickly. The voice recognition is much better than with the old one. It seems to be better at finding addresses (better database). Hopefully, it won't send me on back roads where there si a better route, like the old one, though I haven't been able to test that yet.
