Q: QuestionDoes a charger come with this? It doesn’t state that it does.(8 answers)
A: AnswerYes, a charger (car) comes with it as does a usb to connect to your computer. I would suggest you purchase a Garmin stand for use on your dashboard. The suction cup one that comes with it tends to fall off with a change in temperature.Answered by WirelessUser
Q: QuestionWill this always require access to smart phone eating data constantly(4 answers)
A: AnswerNo, this device is an easy-to-use, dedicated GPS navigator that does not rely on cellular signals and is unaffected by cellular dead zones.Answered by GarminProductExpert
- A: AnswerNo instructions. Little leaflet tells you to mount it, power it up, & it's ready to go. There appears to be a PDF manual on the Garmin WebSite. I consider the lack of an included hardcopy manual to be customer-unfriendly. But that's just me.

Size and ease of use
Bought this unit june of 2020 on sale and what an amazing unit. Unit seems solid and well built. Pros: ease of use, being able to use Bluetooth on your phone to send your destination to the unit. Cons: sometimes my phone doesn't automatically connect to the unit once its powered on. turning it off and back on fixes the issue. Nothing serious enough to not purchase. Not being able to display the time and direction being traveled at the same time use to bother me but I got use to it. It would still be nice to customize the screen though. When alerts are turned off they stay off. There's several other options within the unit that I can't comment on because I don't use them.

Wonderful to have the Garmin DriveSmart65
I had a Garmin NUVI many years ago, but since my current cars had good navigation, I sort of let that go. Rental cars are whole different animal. Since I needed something reliable for use with a rental car, I purchased this Garmin DriveSmart 65, and I am completely satisfied. I like the loud volume, accuracy of the maps and the easy to use the Garmin app on my laptop to download updates. I had to purchase the proper "cup holder" from a 3rd party vendor, which worked out great. I look forward to using my Garmin DriveSmart65 for a few more years of renting cars in other locations.

Excellent for Seniors
The 7 inch screen is a great selling point along with life time map updates, traffic updates, live parking, smart notifications - ex: red light camera ahead, over the speed limit etc. The instructional voice in not as annoying as my previous Garmin, it doesn’t scream recalculating when u miss a turn, it simply gives u left and right instructions until you get back on route, love that.
