    Easily activated and synded. Surprised at all of the free features that others wanted me to pay for. Brilliantly vibrant maps and sensitive touch. Sick of trying to prove I'm alive to other touch pads. Overall, FANTASTIC purchase and well worth it!!!!

    I bought this unit the night before i went on a trip. It lasted 4 hours before the screen went black. I stopped at a topeka best buy. They diagnosed as faulty and replaced and set up a new one and in 1/2 hour i was back on the road. I never had service like that before. The new one ran great the rest of the trip, 50 hours.

    Garmin - DriveSmart 86 8" GPS with Built-In** Bluetooth, Map Updates and Traffic Updates - Black: Very good device, my only gripe is that it does not feel as durable as I would like, being a testosterone identified human. This probably won't survive my sheer strength over time.

    We have purchased a number of Garmin GPS over the years and have had good usage from them. This is definitely the best one ever. The 8" screen is easy to read.

    This gps is the best I've owned. It traces where you have been and shows a trail on the map. It also has voice recognition. This is an awesome Garmin gps!

    Really enjoy the directions given when I travel to new areas. So many great additional features as well. My personal favorite is my speed is much more visual to me.

    You have to be a rocket scientist to program a trip. I spent $349.00 about 2 months ago for nothing. It couldn't locate routes / addresses in Nova Scotia and is very complicated to use. That's my opinion. I was hoping the size and options were going to help me plan our vacation and use it to get around. Would be good getting from point A to B if a simple route. Good luck. I don't know where all these exceptional reviews came from!

    Overpriced for unreliable routing

    The unit looks sleek. Touch screen is responsive. However, the unit heats up a lot. Mapping is horrendous, even after the map update, it continuously route me through closed off roads (as in closed for 2 years due to construction), directs me to drive street going the wrong way. Speed limits displayed on screen is often time correct and GPS is often by 1/4 mile. I was hoping that it had a way to navigate complex intersection; nope (only in same cities). Maps are just too old. After a week of giving it a chance, I will be returning. I just don't trust it to take with me on a road trip. Android auto and Google map do it better at a fraction of the cost.
