Review: Excellent GPS with Clear Display - The Garmin DriveSmart 65 has been an excellent GPS. The large 6.95" screen is clear and easy to read, and the directions are accurate and reliable. I really like the voice-control feature, which makes it convenient to use while driving. It updates quickly, finds routes fast, and overall works smoothly every time. A great GPS that does exactly what it should.
Review: Invaluable piece of kit - I live in the UK and needed it for travel in USA/Canada - Really excellent piece of kit that proved totally invaluable for our trip from the UK to Canada. After years of working from paper maps and internet screen shots - we rented a vehicle in Florida (back in 2019) that came with a dash mounted Garmin as a free upgrade and immediately realised it was taking a huge amount of stress and pre-planning away from us. Post pandemic and travelling again I decided to buy this unit to make life much easier. Living in the UK - I was able to order this GPS (SatNav) on desertcart.com (rather than desertcart.co.uk) and have it delivered to me in the UK direct from the USA. It is a great sized unit that is very very easy and intuitive to use and for the driver to see and read as you are driving. Like all GPS (SatNav) units it can very occasionally get small things wrong - but 99.999% it was very accurate. Anyone travelling to Canada - be warned that mobile/cell phone costs in Canada are unbelievably high - therefore EVEN with a USA/Canadian sim card in our phone - it would have cost a fortune to buy enough data in Canada (not necessarily the same in the USA which had much cheaper mobile/cell phone charges) to use a smart phone as a GPS/SatNav. Therefore we found it much more cost effective to buy the GPS/SatNav outright and it will work for years for future visits. One last thing about this model - after doing loads of research online - it tells you that this model is designed to work in tandem with a connected mobile/cell phone in order to receive traffic updates. It tells you this model works perfectly well as a GPS/SatNav on its own - but will not give live traffic updates without a connected mobile/cell phone - I considered this before buying - but decided that route guidance was enough and more important to me that anything else. HOWEVERE - after arriving in Canada - this device WAS giving us live traffic reports and rerouting to take the least congested routes - and we did NOT pair it with a mobile/cell phone - but still received live traffic reports. Great unit - Highly Recommended

## Questions & Answers

**Q: For the DriveSmart 55 and 65 models, do they come with free Lifetime map updates?**
A: This is a paste from Garmin's website: Garmin has removed "Lifetime, Free, and Unlimited" from the description of our map and traffic updates and other services.  This has been done to streamline the naming of our products and services. 
If your device includes  "M", "MT", "LM", or "LMT" it will continue to receive map updates without being charged.
If your device includes "Traffic", "LT", or "LMT"  it will continue to receive traffic content without being charged.

**Q: For garmindrive 55, does it have us&canda map? does it have speed camera & red light warning ?**
A: Yes, the Garmin Drive 55 includes mapping of the United States and Canada and has Red Light and Speed Camera warnings.

**Q: I just purchased a smartdrive 65.  i already have a gtm 60 hd digital traffic receiver.  is there an advantage to use it with my new 65?**
A: I use the GTM 60 with my DriveSmart 55 and it works wonders. nearly as good (and in some regards better...) than WAZE. Now, even though the DS 55/65 comes with built in traffic, thats only the standard traffic, for the HD traffic you need the GTM 60. And yes, the HD is much much more up to date and detailed. Safe Travel everyone!

**Q: Does this come with the Traffic Cable?**
A: The cable that comes in the box with the GPS should give you traffic.  Mine does.  We live in the sticks so we only see that when we head to more urban areas, which is very rare.  Cattle crossings don't show up!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome GPS!
*by A***R on October 19, 2023*

This improved GARMIN GPS is awesome! the screen is nice and large with great features. I love that it will synch and save our favorite places too. What I didn’t like but we finally found how to turn it off, it will communicate with your cell phone in blue tooth and tell you if you have someone at the door or a phone call coming in to your phone. I think that’s not a good for a GPS and I think it’d be distracting for driver. It kept popping up and we finally solved how to stop that. I also thought it’s not good for privacy if someone is riding with us. It’s different from our previous GARMIN —clearer, larger screen with more features. It communicates well with the backup camera on license tag (sold separately) but the backup camera doesn’t come on when backing up, have to touch something on screen. I liked it better to automatically come on when backing up, for safety purposes. It does come on for a few moments when first turning on the GPS though. Now the voice recognition, it depends on where you are from and if you have an accent. If you are from the Northern or Midwestern states it recognizes your voice better. If you have an accent from the South, it’ll make you want to take your hammer to it. You may as well be speaking Cajun or French or Greek, it’ll scramble your intentions greatly! So it understands one of us but not the other one. It has great options for saving places and labeling them, assigning the icons, etc. I don’t think it helps avoid construction or if it’s supposed to. Same for toll roads on that. Best of all, you can save your favorite locations and back them up, can sync them with other devices if you so wish. So go ahead grab one and enjoy driving more, it’ll tell you when to turn and map out your route, no more printing maps and missing your turn and squinting at signs while estimating how much longer before turning off! It’s a GARMIN, yes, I recommend it! Oh while you are at it, grab a “garmin gps” dashboard mount. It took us some time to realize they are on Amazon; we didn’t like the ones the local store sold and the options are better on Amazon for those. which one works for you is according to the shape of your dashboard or if you plan to mount it on a window. You can even purchase a wire for hardwiring it in your vehicle. Then save the wire which came with for when you are traveling/flying and using a car at your destination, etc. In the past we had a camera which was hardwired by the bumper. The new ones go over the license tag and so much easier, they communicate wirelessly. I was concerned about it getting stolen but it is screwed on good and so far no issues. Husband was hauling something on his truck and couldn’t see to back up but that backup camera, you can now push to see what is behind you, even when driving! Pretty neat technology and great pairing between the two.
