    We had a Garmin GPS that was 10 - 15 years old and very small, so we wanted to upgrade before our trip. This worked perfectly!

    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.

    After completing a 5,000 plus mile trip to multiple states we could not have achieved this smoothly without the expertise of the garmin which lead us through thick and thin traffic. This item is a MUST!

    This is a good GPS, phone is sinked with the gps so phone calls will go through the GPS and you can still see the map which makes for great ease when travelling.

    Very nice GPS compared to our much older (10+ yr) Garmin. Nice display, nice directions when the GPS tells you the turns. Like I said, our last Garmin GPS we bought over 10 yrs ago, so this new one is really a big improvement.

    I bought this recently due to my old GOS being outdated and this one is a lot better hands down.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

    Having no sense of direction and no built in navigation in my vehicle led me to purchase the Garmin. It has proven to be worthy of its name thru its functionally and accuracy. Wouldn't consider another brand.
