I have enjoyed this item so far. I use it daily around my city. I didn't find the set up to be complicated on my pc but did need to download software. I will be testing this on a longer drive in the upcoming weeks, but so far, I have not had any issues. Many complain about the part that attaches the unit to a window. I personally haven't had issues with it sticking, however, am going to get a backup stand for future use. Love the product and it allows me not not need a phone for navigation. It does feel a bit lighter than expected. Some might say cheap feeling. However, the device is straight forward and probably doesn't need a massive amount to function. No qualms.

I bought this Garmin Drive Smart 66 6" GPS to replace my old Garmin. I am very pleased with the improved model. The size was good for my SUV and did not block my windshield. I have it on a dashboard mount so it is easy to see while keeping my eyes on the road. Garmin is a quality brand and never fails to deliver. I would definitely recommend this GPS.

I use this GPS every day for work and I have to say it works perfect. I mainly use it for the map and the update rate is perfect! I no complaints. I may have bought an over the top GPS for what I do for work but it was worth it.

The updated graphics on screen are a nice update and the screen being between the 5” and 7” fits just right with thin bezels.
I knocked a star because the button on the back of device is a terrible placement and
the audio that comes across the Bluetooth has a delay.

I love it, first trip this weekend in very busy Cincinnati. Navigating to a YMCA Soccer field was easy. A nice upgrade from my very old Garmin. I find a Cellphone Map program very difficult to use while driving. The Garmin performed perfect, better than my wife trying to tell me where to turn using her MapQuest.

I received help as soon as I came into Dothan Bestbuy. This is one of the main reasons I shop at this store. People are friendly, very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about their products. I bought items from TVs to vacuum cleaners and have been very satisfied with the quality of products purchased.

Works very well. I love the ease of being able to use this as I run service calls on a daily basis and this helps me calculate. Everywhere I need to be in a timely manner and accurately gets me to the arrival of the destinations. I will be traveling to.

The item was a good GPS product but it seems like some of the back roads and other well-known roads don’t show up correctly so I have to go between Waze and Google maps and the Garmin. Overall good product just wish it was a bit smoother and battery life was self-sufficient which it does not.

This 6" Garmin GPS is great, except for the annoying glare because the screen is not glare-free like my 'ancient' 5" I had to put to rest. I loved that old one! Another thing I noticed is the arrows no longer show on the upper left for the lanes which indicate which lane you should be in. Instead, they are shown differently and are displayed on the right, which I am not used to. I prefer the latter of the two which is more precise, especially if you are in heavy traffic, but I suppose I will get used to that in time. Why change what already works? Anyway, I do like the spoken directions more because they are more precise, like "Turn left at the light", etc. Overall, I do recommend this product.

this Garmin does the job well, which is what I’ve known for Garmin road navigation devices for a long time now. it was easy to setup and update and even to put in voices we purchased previously with our old and trusted Nuvi. voice recognition can get minor improvements but we’re coping with it.

Prefer my old nuvi that garmin no longer supports. Found out after I put a new battery in it and couldn’t update maps.
Much cheaper construction. No case. Just touching the edge of the device causes it to switch to a different screen function. Not as fast or intuitive as Apple Maps. Bought it for redundancy and road and traffic alerts. Does that okay. If you’re a gadget guy or gal, go for it. Otherwise save your money and use your phone. You need your phone for most functions anyway. Was surprised that sometimes it took some time to acquire satellites.

Bought this because our old one was outdated. Works excellent! Love the talk to feature we can ask Garmin to take us to whatever address we need while driving without having to take our eyes off the road.
