  • AVOID! Voice Control Worthless. Disappointing Navigation, Speed, Traffic.
Style: DriveSmart 65 & Traffic Pattern: Navigator
I have owned 4 Garmin GPS. Still use my old V in a small boat. I really wanted a larger GPS than my old NUVI so I purchased this DriveSmart 65. Updated firmware, maps, and everything else that the unit would update. After a 5500 mile road trip in my 2003 Tacoma I am disappointed. The large screen is very nice and easy to read. The mount worked fine, I used the glued on disk from my old NUVI to attach to the dash. Satellites were found quickly most of the time (not the first time of course). Too bad that is all that is very nice. They could have allowed more than 3 information boxes on the right side of the screen in the same space. This Garmin has not held up to the performance of old NUVI units I have. 1. Speed limit indicator. Do not rely on the speed limit indicator. I found it wrong too many times to count. If you rely on it, you may find yourself talking to a traffic officer. This issue was somewhat rare when using my old NUVI units. The NUVI units would allow me to set the correct speed limit for a stretch of road where the limit was not known or had recently changed by tapping the speed indicator, I can not find that function with this DriveSmart 65. 2. Navigation, several issues. BE CAREFUL, CHECK YOUR ROUTE!! I found it worked OK most of the time when an address was entered, or navigation to a saved waypoint (not always, see below). Better to use the Google to find a business or other location. I found that it tried to send me for a several hour drive in the wrong direction when I knew my destination, a saved waypoint, was about 30 miles away. This happened on HWY 95 in Utah (North Wash). I wanted the GPS to tell me the time to a place I had a waypoint for, on a marked road just off the highway, north of me. Instead it directed me to drive 250+ miles south, then east, completely around Canyonlands National Park up to Green River and then south to get to the place a little north of me. I then pointed the truck north (I was pointed west or southwest) and tried again. It now gave me the correct route. Never had this issue with my NUVI units. I do not have U turns in my avoid list. Another time I was in a city (Nebraska, forgot where) and wanted to find a Cabella's store. Followed directions to an empty lot at the edge of town that had a very small building near it and a Walmart distribution center, no Cabella's anywhere in sight. The building that was there was far too small to have ever been a Cabella's. This issue was very rare when using my old NUVI units. Had similar issues a couple other times when trying to find business places. Google took me to Cabella's about 4 miles away. Third major error was on I76 heading north out of Denver during afternoon rush hour. Heading to a point set by clicking on the map (near Briggsdale, CO), about 60 miles north, about 35 miles east of I25, 35 miles north of I76. Logical (shortest and fastest) route is to take I76 north, then follow county roads. Traffic on I76 was heavy but flowing. GPS told me to exit and take I25. I thought that was odd but also thought my new "smart" GPS knew things I did not, like traffic and travel time. Well, the second I hit I25 traffic was at a full stop. Stop and slow for 20 minutes. GPS then said to take city streets (odd, avoid traffic?). City streets were busy. It then took me back to I76 for a few miles, then back to busy city streets, then back to I76. This was neither the shortest or fastest route. If I had stayed on I76 I would have not lost 45 minutes in traffic. AGAIN, ALWAYS CHECK THE ROUTE BEFORE FOLLOWING! Want to find a city? You must either use voice or enter an address. I found no "City" in the nav menu, only when using voice control. 3. Traffic. I had Garmin Drive connected from my cell to GPS. Received perhaps 3 dozen traffic alerts during my trip. Two of those alerts actually appeared, one was slow traffic on I70 coming into Denver rush hour (I knew three hours ago that would happen), the other very minor construction on an empty road with no traffic issue. This issue was not observed using my old NUVI units. The NUVI units only have traffic in cities but I never received false alerts. 4. Traffic cameras. I tried several times and it never showed me upcoming cameras. Often I would soon see a traffic camera on the highway. Always wanted me to "add a camera." Well, that is a stupid thing to do while driving. Bad enough to even be touching the GPS to find cameras ahead of me. 5. Voice control - speakerphone. Voice control works fine...if you are full stopped, motor turned off, and windows rolled up. If there is any road/wind noise, voice control does not work. Perhaps in a newer luxury car that is very quiet inside, but those have nav built in so why have a Garmin? I was not able to use voice control at all while moving, never. Same thing for using as a speakerphone, people said I sounded like **** and could not understand me unless I stopped the truck. Once stopped with windows rolled up the speakerphone function and voice control worked. Voice control and speakerphone are both worthless. 6. Garmin Drive. I uninstalled it since the cameras, traffic and speaker phone functions are so bad. 7. What's Ahead. This contained advertising most of the time. Really, how often would I need a bitcoin exchange while driving? Past my return window or I would return this GPS. ... show more

  • It's a Garmin...
Style: DriveSmart 65 & Traffic with Amazon ... Pattern: Navigation
Most folks by now have a favorite brand of GPS, and I'm no different. My favorite was the one in my 2011 Sonata Hybrid. But, this isn't about a Hyundai product; it's about a Garmin product...and Garmin is my second favorite GPS. Garmin has built itself a reputation and, depending on your experiences, it is either a good reputation or a bad one. For me it is a good one. I am accustomed to the display layout and the functions of the Garmin, so moving on to this model is not about learning everything all over again, but more about learning its updated features. I haven't used the Alexa function yet and may not ever use it. I have an Echo for my vehicle and rarely use it since it requires access to my phone. Until wifi is available for vehicles separately from a smart phone, I will probably continue on without Alexa. Aside from the much larger screen on this unit compared to my previous one, the resolution is much improved. The jaggies are just about non-existent, making the display a real treat to see. This is on a par with the Sonata unit in terms of display clarity, although in most other areas it doesn't quite measure up. One area in which the Garmin is light-years ahead of the Sonata model is allowing coordinates to be entered as destinations for times when you don't know the address. Most GPS units allow this, but Hyundai elected not to. The unit has a nice selection of points of interest that are easy to search through, and they cover a broad spectrum of what is available (though no GPS has the resident memory to list everything). I have really come to appreciate the traffic alerts that Garmin includes for free with their units, alerts that have saved me time on numerous occasions. The lifetime map updates are also nice, though you won't get them on a regular basis and there is no guarantee they are really up to date. I get warnings when I am approaching a school zone as well as warnings when I am above the posted speed limit. I know from past experience that it is possible to get warnings when approaching a traffic camera, too, though I have not had this Garmin long enough to notice if I get those warnings. I used to have to download camera locations from the 'net and load them into my Garmin, so that may still be the case. I will research that. Garmin gives you free software to help you to maintain your GPS, something Hyundai didn't do. I can install updated firmware if it becomes available and, of course, load any new maps that are available. You are free to tell this unit how to calculate a route: fastest time, shortest distance; you can even set up some custom avoidance areas for those times when conditions warrant it. The suction cup mount on this unit is an improvement over the one on my last Garmin, a nuvi 2599. That older suction cup lost its tackiness rather quickly and loses its grip on the winshield in less than a day on the highway. This new unit has a very nice suction cup that is keeping its tackiness and holding the unit onto the windshield tightly with no signs of coming loose. I have to admit, I was a huge fan of the sandbag mounts and used to use them exclusively. I don't know if they are still available, but they were, in my estimation, the best mounts I could buy. Some states don't (or at least didn't) allow windshield mounts due to a fear that a collision could hurl the GPS back into someone's face. I don't know, but it seems to me that in a wreck you would have more important things to consider than a GPS; however, since those states prohibited windshield mounts, the sandbags became almost a necessity. Well, I have covered just about all of the features that I consider important. Saved places, various configuration items such as the icon that represents your vehicle, have not changed drastically and should all work pretty much as before. Calculating your arrival time during a route is still as useful as ever, although this is another area in which my Hyundai in-dash unit was better. The Hyundai calculated an arrival time when I began my journey and that time stayed nearly constant during the entire journey. Not so with the Garmin. It changes as you move on down the road...even if your speed doesn't. The closer you are to the destination the more the arrival time changes. The only times the Hyundai unit arrival time varied was if I stopped for some reason or during traffic jams. This is not a deal-breaker as I have a very good idea of my arrival time without ever looking at the GPS. It's just about differences in implementation. Oh, and for the record, the reason I refer to my Hyundai unit in the past tense is that the car was rear-ended and totaled last summer. I can recommend this Garmin based on my use of it; however, your decision must be based on your preference if the brand you like is producing good units. I don't want to sway anyone into a purchase that might be regretted later on. ... show more
