Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great. Have it in a vehicle that doesn't have the newer technology. Not only does this have up to date mapping and driving info, but allows for hands free communication when necessary. Easy to set up and looks sharp. Very excited to have made this purchase and all its functionality. Would highly recommend.

Love the size and ease of use. Map updates very helpful. Consider where you will place if on your windshield as it is larger than older models'. UNFORTUNITLY it does not come with a build-in driver's video camera.

Works great love the speed alert and the Bluetooth option to run though my vehicles stereo. Screen is large and easy to use. Would recommend if you need GPS.

I bought this for my mom. It is much easier for her to use than her phone because of the large, clear touchscreen and intuitive controls and voice commands. She has never been able to master her phone GPS app but she picked up on the Garmin right away!

Well...I finally got everything going - I think. This unit is SO complex that it takes quite a bit to make the thing perform properly. Once it does, I still do not like the map display as much as on my prior Garmin units. I try to get the zoom where I want it and the unit goes somewhere else. The unit does not always center the image right away. I have had it go nearly to the edge before centering. This is not good. If my DriveSmart 7 had not started not turning on all the time, I would not have replaced it, and I probably should have replaced it with another 7. You also have to buy (for over $60.00) a new mount in order to put the unit on the dash. Not good at all. Would I recommend this unit? Maybe, but that is not available. Yes but...

This is a great GPS and for the size you can't beat itI have a Ford Escape and I have Navigation, but nothing beats Garmin, I have the 76 also, but I returned the 86 because using it with the bean bag just isn't good, you have to buy an adapter to make it work and I don't like the windshield mount.

I never used a GPS unit before, except for a few stressful attempts with my smart phone, which is too small and takes too much time away from the road to read. My Garmin is just the right size and easy to access/read attached to the windshield. It's easy to add destinations, voice recognition is excellent, and saved me many, many miles of missed turns and near accidents. It has already paid for itself in safety and gas savings. Im spoiled now! :-) :-)

my previous drivesmart 61 (i think it was) died on the road. i bought this one thinking the larger screen would mean larger type and was disappointed it did not. also, though this device provides a lot of info, it is very complicated to navigate. troublesome. nonetheless, i value the street and highway designations. they help keep me oriented.

I bought this recently due to my old GOS being outdated and this one is a lot better hands down. Automatic Updates as well can’t go wrong and the size of the screen even better

Drive Smart says it all. Great GPS navigator. The system is intuitive and faster to find your POI’s or addresses. Garmin has continued to upgrade the user interface and make things simpler. Lifetime maps means it’s easy to stay updated with latest changes in roadways. Big screen for old eyes help you not lose focus on the road.

Easy to use Easy to see Easy to follow verbal and visual directions

This gps works great for a car that does not have gps. Mounted onto window. Easy instructions to get it working. Would highly recommend.

Floor clerks were very helpful in assisting me to find the GPS section then help determine the best one for my needs. The Garmin GPS is a great tool and very up to date! The 8 inch screen is very easy to see!

Replaced an old Garmin with this larger one with more features. Really like it so far. I would have gave it 5 stars except that only yesterday it took me 3.2 miles to the north when the Sonic we were trying to go to ended up being 3.2 miles to the south of the intersection. Kind of frustrating, especially when we had to go an extra 4 miles past the nothing it took us to just to be able to turn around.

large screen helps me keep an eye on the road. have an old one with 4-inch screen. Small size needed passenger to read it. I can see directions clearly.

So easy to use and had no problems at all ! Would recommend anyone who needs a Garmin GPS, go to Best buy! They have the most experienced people working there!!

Works great, lots of options. Huge easy to see and use screen. Much better than my built in car GPS that won't let me do anything other than speak at it while driving.

The most desirable feature of this unit was screen size - I wanted the largest available. Number two priority was stay with Garmin if at all possible, as I have others that have been very good overall.

Long time Garmin user and this upgrade has been the best ever. The setup and transfer of data from my previous unit was flawless. I appreciate the larger size and Bluetooth features.

Love using this GPS it works awesome and gets me to where I need to go. It's very good with providing quick updates if there is an accident or traffic delays. Voice clarity is very good
