    5 stars for form factor and Alexa compatibility. The speak looks great aside from the awkward charger adapter on the side that makes it challenging to hide wires for a clean or more versatile install. The Alexa part is great since I can control all of my smart home devices on the go. The navigation screen is nice and intuitive though using the voice control to work any functions has been difficult. I just gave up and use siri through my phone now for navi.. Hopefully this will improve in coming updates.

    Not worth it

    I purchased this mainly for the Alexa component, as I already have navigation in the dash. The Alexa component was ok, though the speaker is not great - but you can connect to the stereo Bluetooth to improve that (though you can't listen to other Bluetooth music or be connected to the phone for music at the same time). The screen is terrible and the information displayed is just turn-by-turn (which I knew before purchase). Just wouldn't be worth it for someone wanting the navigation. I ended up returning it.

    Bought it for the Alexa interface but found the GPS function nice. If you don't need to see a maps but still need a little help getting places it's a great small helper. I have a Jeep and feared the louder interior noise to be an issue. It is not. Alexa app understand me just as well as it does at home. I can play games, listen to music, get directions and many other things just by asking. Don't wait for Amazon to invite you want to buy the Amazon Auto. Garmin speak work great.

    Absolutely love this GPS. Took about 20 minutes to get up and running but gives a goofball like me clear and easy directions. Connects to the Bluetooth in my car to work with my car speakers. I love how it alerts me when in use if I'm going above the posted speed limit too. It also has built-in Alexa which is awesome.

    Alexa in my car

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

    I bought this so I could have Alexa in my car. I use it mainly to turn on the lights in my house before I get home. I did not permanently mount it in the car because I use it in multiple cars. Therefore the power cord and audio cable are exposed and sometimes get in the way when trying to adjust radio stations or change air conditioner settings on the center dashboard.

    Easy to use and super exact. You can program to know certain places you travel all the time so going “home” or “work” is a breeze. Only drawback is you have to have a good phone signal for it to work properly but it was a great choice for the money and it doesn’t take up barely any windshield space!

    I like this product, the way it displays directions is cool. I do not like the difficulty it gives me when cancelling directions oh, I wish you could just say cancel route or something to that effect, instead of going into the app especially when it picks up the wrong address like most voice-activated things they don't get it right all the time.

      To play audio through your vehicle's speakers, you can connect the Garmin Speak or Garmin Speak Plus to your stereo using Bluetooth or AUX. For vehicles that do not have Bluetooth or an AUX input, sound will be delivered through the Garmin Speak or Garmin Speak Plus device.
      For instructions on how to connect to your stereo, see:  http://bit.ly/2Dor4FA Garmin

    This is an example of a great tech idea whose time has not yet come. This product does not work, is more complicated than necessary, and very difficult to get meaningful support from tech folks to help make it functional. I want my money back.

    I had good results with the GPS as well as the camera. Only think taking time to get use to is not seeing an actual map of course. I love the Alexa function. Works really well.

    This works great if you do not want to use Google Maps and want a simple turn by turn readout. It is nice to have Alexa in your vehicle. Make sure you have a large data plan! Not all Alexa skills are compatible with this product.

    Unfortunately completely dependent on cell service to be able to initiate connection to use; hence not a problem except where cell service is limited, which is such at my house. Otherwise seems to be a really neat product.

    I purchased this GPS for my dad and I also have one; however, I am not impressed with them. The app you use with the GPS is sometimes temperamental and it not user-friendly.
