    Always used Garmin devices and this one is the newest gadget of ours. GPS is spot-on and is faster than previous models. Extra room on the screen for upcoming exits and real-time lane notifications.

    Bigger and better than the NUVI 40 that it replaces. Easier to use. Compatible with the old mounting bracket. Exactly what we wanted.

    It's more problems than help. It always gives you the longest way to get somewhere. It will navigate you to a place that doesn't exist. It's not dependable at all especially out of town in the dark at night

      Sorry to hear of your experience. We do not have a longest route option on any of our devices. They will always default to the most appropriate/shortest time. Having said that there are several settings to verify to make sure you are setup for your preferences. If you encounter a business that is no longer there, we have a map error report tool on our website here, https://supportforms.garmin.com/en-US/form/report-map-error/. By reporting this will bring awareness to our mapping provider for correction in a future map release. We here at Garmin would love to assist you in how to best use this device. Please start by visiting our 24/7 support center page at support.garmin.com. Garmin

    Absolutely Love the Bigger Screen!

    I believe Garmin is the best choice I could make. I have an older smaller Garmin that I have had for years and decided to get a bigger viewing screen and this does not disappoint. I love all the features that this Garmin DriveSmart 76 has. It took no time to set this up and the newer features are a pleasant and thrilling surprise. I very highly recommend not just the Garmin name, but especially this particular model that I have had for about a month now. It is so easy to navigate with all the bells and whistles! I did add a screen protector especially made for this particular device that eliminates any glare that I might encounter on my travels.

    Very nice upgrade from the second-hand junk I've been using up til now. I wish it were less expensive and that the rear-view camera option were available for my two older cars (Mazda and VW), but it's still a good product.

    So far so great! Our Tom Tom was years old and no longer had enough memory to update and would get confused. Haven't used the Garmin enough but so far locally it has performed well. The screen is perfect size--not too big to obstruct your dashboard vision. I wouldn't get any bigger. I wouldn't get any smaller either.

    Works great! I really like the voice command allowing me to hear how soon I am at to take turn or to destination. And this model having ability in machine for map updates compared to my much older model which was instructed me to go to web site to check. Also like this wider model.

    Best Waze or Google Maps Alternative

    This is an especially adept solution for traveling in a vehicle, especially with the traffic alerts through the Garmin Drive app. I also like that Google doesn't necessarily know my driving routines as I don't have to use Waze or Google Maps as an alternative. It looks for any software or mapping updates every time it shuts down if Wifi is available. Have had Garmin GPS units for years and they just keep getting better.

    I really like every thing about this garmin, bluetooth, speaker, options for view basicly everything. I would like to see added an option to save a route that is different from the route that is directed by garmin, in other words one that I have repeatedly taken.

    Great new Garmin. Replacing an ancient unit. Prefer a dedicated GPS rather than CarPlay. When there’s no cell signal, you’re stuck. Satellite signals are better. Would have gotten the 86, but if I read the info correctly, the mounting ball is now a new size. Why would Garmin have changed a very old, perfectly fine standard that works with a zillion accessories?

    So glad to get this! The reason I bought this GPS was to use voice for maps. It’s safer than trying to fool with touch screen. I only did 4 stars because I haven’t been out of state yet. My brother was truck driver and told me to get Garmin. So far I haven’t had any problems with this one or any that I have had before. I have had other Garmin GPS and believe they are more reliable and the best brand.

    Best Garmin so Far

    This replaced my Drivesmart 65 I bought 10 months ago, it would take a long time to connect to the satellite. So far the Drivesmart 76 is working as it should. Fast connection to the satellite. The "hello Garmin" voice use, works really well. This one is much better than the Drivesmart 86 as on upcoming off ramps this one shows a large screen on the right for what lane to use, the 86 only had a very small square to see the off ramp. I have had several Garmin GPS's and so far I do recommend this one. I like Garmin the as you can save and or back up your favorites (pgx files) and transfer them to your new Garmin. Do recommend always buy the Best Buy extended warranty / replacement plan.
