    Always used Garmin devices and this one is the newest gadget of ours. GPS is spot-on and is faster than previous models. Extra room on the screen for upcoming exits and real-time lane notifications.

    It's more problems than help. It always gives you the longest way to get somewhere. It will navigate you to a place that doesn't exist. It's not dependable at all especially out of town in the dark at night

      Sorry to hear of your experience. We do not have a longest route option on any of our devices. They will always default to the most appropriate/shortest time. Having said that there are several settings to verify to make sure you are setup for your preferences. If you encounter a business that is no longer there, we have a map error report tool on our website here, https://supportforms.garmin.com/en-US/form/report-map-error/. By reporting this will bring awareness to our mapping provider for correction in a future map release. We here at Garmin would love to assist you in how to best use this device. Please start by visiting our 24/7 support center page at support.garmin.com. Garmin

    I believe Garmin is the best choice I could make. I have an older smaller Garmin that I have had for years and decided to get a bigger viewing screen and this does not disappoint. I love all the features that this Garmin DriveSmart 76 has. It took no time to set this up and the newer features are a pleasant and thrilling surprise. I very highly recommend not just the Garmin name, but especially this particular model that I have had for about a month now. It is so easy to navigate with all the bells and whistles! I did add a screen protector especially made for this particular device that eliminates any glare that I might encounter on my travels.

    Although only a couple of weeks using, i find it to be very easy to use and informative. I had a 12 year old Sony GPS which has worked great but no longer updated. Im hoping my new Garmin lasts as long and continues to operate flawlessly as my old Sony. I give my new Garmin 5 stars and look forward to a long service life with my new unit

    Bought to replace my 15 year old Garmin Nuvi. Took on a 3800 mile fall adventure throughout the western US in which it would take us the longest route almost every time we set it. One time it took us 58 miles out of the way? After a while we could not trust it to go the right and shortest way possible. Even fully charged there is about a three minute battery life unplugged? It was way off finding national monuments and such. I thought it would be more accurate than the old Garmin, however that is not the case. Attaching the Garmin to the window holder is very cumbersome and awkward. I do really like the large screen and easy touch screen... and that is the only reason I did not return it.

    So far so great! Our Tom Tom was years old and no longer had enough memory to update and would get confused. Haven't used the Garmin enough but so far locally it has performed well. The screen is perfect size--not too big to obstruct your dashboard vision. I wouldn't get any bigger. I wouldn't get any smaller either.

    Works great! I really like the voice command allowing me to hear how soon I am at to take turn or to destination. And this model having ability in machine for map updates compared to my much older model which was instructed me to go to web site to check. Also like this wider model.

    I really like every thing about this garmin, bluetooth, speaker, options for view basicly everything. I would like to see added an option to save a route that is different from the route that is directed by garmin, in other words one that I have repeatedly taken.
