||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used the Garmin Drive Smart 66 to drive 900 miles from SC to WI. I was able to use the route shaping function to create a custom route and it worked well taking me exactly the way that I wanted to go. The screen resolution is very good as well. I used the speech option to add gas stops when needed with ease and without losing my primary route.
