Good product. Took some time to understand how to work, but worked well when used. Recommend this size screen for people that need reading glasses.

fellow wanderers and road warriors, let me tell you a cautionary tale of GPS woes and how I went from lost in the wilderness to navigating like a boss – all thanks to Garmin DriveSmart 76!
Picture this – I skimped on the first GPS and boy, did I pay the price! Driving around in circles like a dizzy hamster in a wheel, I felt like I was on a never-ending road trip to nowhere. It was like the GPS was playing a twisted game of hide-and-seek with my destination, leaving me frustrated and flustered.
I finally wised up and invested a little extra dough in the Garmin DriveSmart 76 – and boy, was it worth every penny! This bad boy comes packed with all the bells and whistles, making my previous GPS look like a preschool toy. Say goodbye to the days of going around in circles and hello to smooth sailing!
From its crystal-clear 7-inch display to its intuitive interface, this navigator has my back every step of the way. No more second-guessing or screaming at the device like a lunatic. It’s like having my own personal co-pilot who never misses a beat.
Whether I’m cruising through familiar territories or venturing into uncharted territories, this GPS has got me covered. It’s like having a GPS guru whispering sweet directions in my ear – except, you know, it’s not creepy and it won’t judge my music taste.
So, my fellow travelers, take it from someone who learned the hard way – investing in Garmin DriveSmart 76 is the key to navigating like a pro. No more getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle of roadways, no more driving in circles like a circus clown. Highly recommended for anyone who spends time in their car traveling to the unknown – trust me, it’s a game-changer! So go ahead, treat yourself to this snazzy GPS navigator and bid farewell to the days of lost wanderlust. Happy travels!

Nice Garmin GPS. Easy setup, good quality screen, audio is clear. By real only concern with it is if you pass by your destination (such as traffic doesn’t permit you to turn, or hidden driveway, etc), the GPS doesn’t tell you to turn around, it assumes you are there and stops navigating. I have had at least 4 other Garmins and they all would help get you back to your destination. I haven’t found anything in the setup that needs changed to correct this. You must reselect the destination if you desire to continue using the GPS to get you back on track.

I was replacing an older garmin GPS which has been discontinued. This works great !

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?

Llevo mas de 10 años usando GPS de Garmin llevo mas de 5 modelos diferentes siempre trato de tener el ultimo modelo por que manejo muchísimo, ahora estoy usando este pero mi ultimo modelo fue el mismo de Alexa pero el modelo pasado, el problema ea que Garmin es como Apple los diseña para que duren solo de 2 a 2 años y después se mueren, te hacen difícil cambiarle las partes en el pasado mio era un problema de batería pero en mi país (Mexico) nadie la vende, me salio mas barato comprar uno nuevo que cambiarle la batería , mi calificación de 3 estrellas es por ese mínimo problema, los aparatos eléctricos ya no los hacen duraderos por eso garmin te da la opción de mapas para siempre por que sabe que el aparato no va a ser para siempre.
