    Returned next day

    I bought this unit as an upgrade for an older Garmin - bigger screen, traffic updates. I returned it the next day because the screen was unreadable with sunglasses on. My older Garmin didn't have that issue. I tried to max the screen brightness but it was set at 100% out of the box.

      Thank you for your review of the nüvi 65LM. The screens on newer Garmin automotive devices are coated with a polarized anti-glare coating to make the screen readable in direct sunlight. Polarized sunglasses when worn may cause the screen to become unreadable. This is because both the sunglasses and the screen are polarized.

      I apologize for any inconvenience; there is not a way to make the screen readable with polarized sunglasses.

    I had to replace my 6+ year old Garmin after I dropped it. I never had a problem with it so I knew I would get another Garmin. The Best Buy sales rep recommended this one. I love the size and the LTM is a bonus.

    worked great for me

    I used this for recent trip to west coast and everything worked out good for with this device. Directions and prompts were accurate and useful. Only on one highway it gave some unnecessary directions but it was not too bad. split highway intersection view was very useful. One new address on my way it did not find. touch screen is little bit different than the one we are used on the phone, but it was OK for me. it was not so smooth and soft to touch, had to press little bit harder. upcoming points of interest was very useful. with the sale price it is a good one for that price.

    search is slow

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Garmin changed the way the interface is for inputing your address. Now it searches based off the address that you put in and shows the closest results. Search is incredibly slow when putting a common named road in. Will be exchanging for a more expensive model hopefully with more power.

    I purchased the Garmin on sale. It's easy to use and very accurate. The battery last a decent amount of time once fully charged. It didn't need to be updated once out of the box. Overall a good purchase.

    Fine GPS for Not High Demanding User

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The navigation of the system is pretty easy after a few tries. However, I did notice the arrival time estimate is not accurate. It gave me 2 very different estimates (35 mins vs. 5 hours 15 mins) of the same route. I wish this model will give me a heads up of turns navigation in feet instead of street names. It is so hard to look at the street names while driving. My dead pioneer model used for 10 years had that. Otherwise, this model is not bad for someone who just wants a machine to guide you from one point to another.

    Works....Most of the time

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have now had this model for a month. It works most of the time, but occasionally it can't find an address or it sends me down a dead end. I use this product 6-8 times a day and I need it to work every time. When it does not work, I have to fall back on my iphone map. I have used various ways of entering the address I am looking for when it cannot find it. Nothing works. Today it could not locate an address when I was just down the street from it.
