Best Waze or Google Maps Alternative

This is an especially adept solution for traveling in a vehicle, especially with the traffic alerts through the Garmin Drive app. I also like that Google doesn't necessarily know my driving routines as I don't have to use Waze or Google Maps as an alternative. It looks for any software or mapping updates every time it shuts down if Wifi is available. Have had Garmin GPS units for years and they just keep getting better.

As a school bus driver taking teams on trips it’s nice to have an easily readable screen that has updates so you know your always taking the best route.

Great new Garmin. Replacing an ancient unit. Prefer a dedicated GPS rather than CarPlay. When there’s no cell signal, you’re stuck. Satellite signals are better. Would have gotten the 86, but if I read the info correctly, the mounting ball is now a new size. Why would Garmin have changed a very old, perfectly fine standard that works with a zillion accessories?

Haven't owned one of these GPS's in 10 years because I've just been using the Waze app on my phone.
Decided to get one again so I had something I could just mount on my windshield and not have to use my phone. They haven't got any better in 10 years.
This thing is terrible, trying to send me the wrong way down one way roads, or telling me to turn where there's not even a street only a field.
Complete waste of money.

Best Garmin so Far

This replaced my Drivesmart 65 I bought 10 months ago, it would take a long time to connect to the satellite. So far the Drivesmart 76 is working as it should. Fast connection to the satellite. The "hello Garmin" voice use, works really well. This one is much better than the Drivesmart 86 as on upcoming off ramps this one shows a large screen on the right for what lane to use, the 86 only had a very small square to see the off ramp. I have had several Garmin GPS's and so far I do recommend this one. I like Garmin the as you can save and or back up your favorites (pgx files) and transfer them to your new Garmin. Do recommend always buy the Best Buy extended warranty / replacement plan.
