Review: Best mobile navigator I've owned. - I've been a TomTom customer for at least 30 years so I was very disappointed with my inability to find new product on desertcart. Tried a generic brand mobile navigator which worked OK but got tired of searching for audio route directions via FM radio signal. I chose Garmin as a last resort because I've always been biased toward the brand due to my preference for TomTom. After purchase I was quite surprised with the variety of features it has and how user friendly it is. • This model is the first mobile navigator I've owned which features Bluetooth compatibility. I really enjoy not having to sacrifice listening to my music playlist or music app to hear route instructions. THEY PLAY SIMULTANEOUSLY via my Android! • This Garmin even remembers locations I visit around the same time daily and issues a text prompt on the screen upon startup should I choose to visit the location prompted. • I also like the ease of inserting stops along the route to my final destination. • I originally feared the 6 inch screen would be too small since the generic brand screen of my previous navigator was huge. I needn't had worried. The screen image is clear, offers needed map information without excess and audio guidance is precise. At first I couldn't understand why I heard no audio instruction at all. (I'm one of those people who reads instructions as a last resort.) Took me a week to discover the mute/unmute setting in one of the menus. The only thing about using this Garmin that annoyed me was the windshield mount. I quickly replaced it with a compatible dashboard mount. Otherwise I have nothing but praise for the Garmin Smartdrive 66. Highly recommended.
Review: Really nice features, WiFi updates - Better than expected. Replaced existing Garmin GPS (6 years old and still working fine) with this larger screen and updated model. Even added the Backup Camera (sold separately). Out of the box, not much in the way of configuration is required. Latest updates are via WiFi and that does take +1 hour at Gigabit Internet speed (we use Commercial grade Access Points for Wireless). GPS did arrive with NO POWER, would not even come on!! until charge for a little while. Suction cup supports weight of GPS fine but getting it to adhere to windshield was tricky - position just right and it works flawlessly, get it wrong and forever trying to make it work. Best suggestion - put suction cup on first then attach GPS. FEATURES - larger screen. SYNC with Android phone - can take calls and work hands free as GPS will work with cell phone. TEXT messages appear on GPS screen also but so far not able to respond to them - just view only. GPS gets Google Traffic info from cell phone. Overall it was a good purchase. No were in the documentation will you find the WARRANTY!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product with very helpful features
*by D***G on June 2, 2026*

This Garmin was an upgrade to our 10-year-old one (! – we keep things a long time!) and the new features are really great. Love the ability to add weather and live traffic to the map, very helpful in navigating. I needed to add the saved destinations from our old Garmin but that was very easily done. Overall, this is a great product and works very well.
