[Color LCD] Very pleased with this version of Garmin. Large, clear screen. I like the feature on the right side that shows upcoming towns, with icons showing whether food, gas or lodging is available! 5

[1.08 lb] Bought it to replace my old Nuvi. With the exception of a power cord that had a short (out of the box) that Garmin replaced immediately. The unit has performed as advertised. 5

[1.08 lb] I wanted a slightly larger upgrade from my old nuvi 55LM. This one is really nice and I like the voice command function. I doubt I will upload the phone app or use the bluetooth function. I just needed a good basic gps. My only complaint is the manual that can be downloaded from the internet. It covers several different models and has a lot of stuff that doesn't pertain to my specific model which is very annoying. They should have a manual for each specific model. 5

[Color LCD] Been using it for several months. Nice updates from the previous model. Recommend it! 5

Just Mie	09/07/2024
[Yes] Coming from a Nuvi 2460 this GPS does so much more. It's like night and day. There are a couple of things that confuse me and at this point being I just bought it and used it for one out of state trip so far i'm not sure if it's a user issue or the way this unit is supposed to operate. I noticed a couple of the routes it directed me to go were out of the way compared to my cell phone app that I would normally use and the concerned me. The other thing I have yet to figure out is listening to music and getting the directions through my cars audio system. Usually I can have Spotify going and my cell phone GPS app will interrupt the music with directions when necessary and then the music will continue. So far I haven't had that happen. I thought it operates both like my cell phone app does. I thought I can pair the Garmin with my vehicle and not have to depend on a cell phone to do it. In any event I hope it's something that I haven't figured out yet because if it's the way it is supposed to operate it will lessen my likability somewhat. 5

Barracuda	05/07/2024
[Yes] I have purchased a Garmin GPS for my vehicles for several years and have been very happy with their operation and accuracy. I am not that smart when it comes to setting up an electronic device. However, with my Garmin Drive Smart 66 I followed the instructions and plugged it into my computer. After the download I was ready to go. I believe & trust my Garmin GPS's. ve 5

Big Jeff	04/07/2024
[60 Minutes] I've owned my Drivesmart66 for a few weeks and have gotten good use out of it. I use it primarily in the city. In the past when I used a GPS device to navigate around the city, I've gotten lost and had to ask for directions. This unit has always gotten me to my destination using the shortest route. The coolest feature about the Drivesmart66 is voice recognition. All I have to do is say, "Ok Garmin" and say the address or general area I want to go to. I think that is a very important safety feature and the one I like the best. The only thing I would add to improve it would be to offer a variety of different voices to give me directions, for example, a male voice instead of the female voice. Maybe Garmin could audition people for this feature, just saying. 5

D1LH	13/06/2024
[Yes] I have an older Garmin GPS that needs foil tape to retain the sim card. The new GPS 66 is faster, and more readable than the old one, plus has voice listening capability. So we really like the new GPS 5
