  • Nice bright display, responsive touch screen, fast routing
Size: 7 Inch Pattern Name: Navigator
I got this to upgrade my very old Nuvi model. On those old GPS displays, the touch screen is SO frustrating and you have to really press and wait for it to recognize each tap. The old one was also frustratingly slow to recalculate the route if I detoured for something like a rest area or exit to get gas. The voice saying "Recalculating" becomes a running joke on long road trips. So, enough about the old one... the new Garmin models have a much more responsive touch screen just like cell phones. The processor in there is a lot faster to recalculate if you're doing a detour (and without the annoying voice telling you about it). It also supports extra nav systems besides GPS which seems to help it be even more accurate (with 10 feet is usually what I got). The old one would sometimes lose signals in valleys or downtown between buildings and might show me a hundred feet away, but this model does a great job of showing where I really am. The voice navigation is amazing. It was so cumbersome to type in addresses on the old one but with the nice touchscreen, that's a breeze, but what I really loved was being able to say "Okay Garmin, go to Walgreens" or something and then pick which one I wanted to go to from the list. I don't know how thorough the database of locations is, but on my recent 3500 mile road trip, I rarely asked it for something it couldn't look up. Fast food and gas stations are just fine, I even asked it to go to a Verizon store when we needed a new phone and it pulled up the nearby locations. My one gripe is probably about the connectivity to my Android phone. The Garmin Drive app works, but the GPS keeps wanting to change the volume of my phone on its own. I also connect to my car radio over bluetooth to play music, and I've setup the Drive app and GPS appropriately for that case, but it seems like when the GPS connects it wants to lower the volume of my phone (and thus how loud it plays music to the car stereo). I can turn it back up, but that only lasts until the next time I get going again. Very weird. I also had problems where the GPS would keep showing "Galaxy S8+ disconnected" over and over. I think that was the power savings on my old phone putting the Drive app to sleep... maybe? I disabled it from being able to sleep, but I haven't driven long enough after that to see if it helped, and then I updated to a newer phone anyway so the jury is still out on whether that's still an issue. That doesn't concern me too much because when I'm driving, I don't really need the GPS linked to my phone although, if I understand correctly, it can get data through that phone connection for even minor things like weather updates or road conditions that maybe the traffic data doesn't get? Or using that tether for software updates too if I'm not within range of my wifi (which really only happens when it's parked in the garage anyway). Overall I'm very happy I splurged for the update. I miss my old Nuvi 1390's ability to connect to the ecoroute module plugged into the OBDII port so I could see the real time gauges right there on the GPS, but I do have a bluetooth dongle for OBD that I can use to see that on my phone. It was just handy because I'd use that whole ecoroute stuff on the GPS to keep track of my gas usage between fillups and it would show my MPG. I got an app for that now, it just means manually putting in my mileage instead of having the GPS already know that. It'd be cool if Garmin added a gas tracker app directly on the GPS... shouldn't be that hard? ... show more

  • GARMIN 8" NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Size: 8 Inch Pattern Name: Navigator
Received navigation system ahead of schedule, albeit it was left at the wrong address. Unit came with USB cord, Power Car Charger, Suction Mount and user documents. This is the 2nd I have purchased in the past 12 months. Excellent display, easy free map updates for life, speak easy directions and connection to smart phone makes travelling so very easy and reassuring. Helps avoid live traffic, tolls road, and traffic cameras. Helpful with locating local and national attractions, lodging, restaurants and businesses. We love the huge 8" screen which makes navigating a breeze. I highly recommend this awesome navigation system. ... show more

  • A good GPS/Dash Cam but could be better
Size: 7" with Camera Pattern Name: Navigator
Before I start, I would say they are a lot of things I like about the Garmin DriveCam 76, but there are several things that are disappointing. I purchased this to replace a Garmin NovaCam that lost it's display. The NuviCam worked well until the end, and had features that were left out of the newer DriveCam. Among these features lost, was a quick disconnect magnetic mount that allowed quick removal when parked or switching vehicles. Another loss was the discontinued support for Garmin Mechanic Dongle, which monitored engine function and the vehicle computer. The loss of these were very nearly a deal breaker for me. Most of the other features were carried from the NuviCam to the new DriveCam. That being said, the DriveCam screen looks crisp and modern, and the physical appearance is more streamlined. The voice commands seem to work well and respond quickly. The processor is a lot faster than the old one, and recalculates quickly. Unfortunately, the recorded track is difficult to see and disappears entirely on major roads. A different color than the map colors would help this problem. The GPS in the DriveCam doesn't work well if there are a lot of big trees... It is not as accurate as it's predecessor, and the recorded track is all over the place. This has always been somewhat of a problem with GPS. I don't regret the purchase, The DriveCam is a good product, but having previously owned the NuviCam, I think they could have made it better. ... show more
