    Works as advertised. Sd card compatibility should be listed on the Best Buy site so I don’t have to go searching.

    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.

    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!!!!

    Needs Improvement

    The device works fairly well overall, but the navigation could be more efficient. When I make a wrong turn, it takes a noticeable amount of time to update and recalculate the route. The touchscreen responsiveness could also be improved. With some software and interface refinements, this could be a much better product.

    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.
