Love it
Very easy to use. And you don't have to use a computer to update. Just connect to wi fi and update right from the truck.

The GPS never worked. After three days of trying with a very nice Garmin Customer Service person, I gave up and returned the Drivesmart 55 GPS device.

    EXCELLENT product..easy to order...prompt delivery
    Large face....VERY easy to set up and operate (I didn't need the grandkids help LOL). A close friend has the same one and I have needed one for a long time.

    Good unit needs additional thought.
    This Garmin Drivesmart 55 is a good size for most cars and light trucks. The display is quite sharp. Although a glass screen, the overall weight is not excessive. So far navigation is spot on. I don't like that an electronic device of this price does not come with a very detailed owner's manual in the box. Instead, you must download and then print (on your dime) a hard copy. Yes I know once it is connected to wi-fi you can view an on-line manual on the device. Big help! Now let's look at the on-line or downloaded manual. Really it is quite general. Sure you can figure it out but at this price point, and all electronics manufacturers are pulling this stunt, you should get a detailed manual. Mounting the Garmin device is also assumed you will attach it with the suction cup mount included with the unit. Windshield mounting is illegal in some states, and Garmin mentions this in the fine print. You will probably need to purchase a dashboard friction mount or some destructive adhesive mounted unit.

    Wonderful unit!
    The online manual is easy to follow. Hooked it to my computer and got all the downloads (takes time). This unit works great.

    Good with only one problem
    I have liked everything so far except one address I had used it took me to the side of the road next to railroad tracks!

    An Improved Nuvi
    My 4th Garmin automobile GPS and definitely the best. I never realized how fuzzy the displays were on my older ones until I turned this one on. Much sharper, brighter and easier to read. Voice recognition is almost useless which is why I gave it 4 stars. Very easy to use and setup. Have not played with the Garmin app since this GPS is for my wife's car.

    Decent, seems like a good value, couple quirks
    Overall, the device has a modern look. The controls and screen layouts are familiar to this longtime Garmin user. I am using the built in (free) traffic data system. It seems slow to get running and the controls to get it working were a bit cryptic (you have to plug in the antenna wire in order to configure it). My biggest gripe is that they placed a logo on the edge of the display screen which wastes a lot of surface and sits sideways on the edge when the unit its in the typical landscape format display on the dashboard. I added a memory card but there doesn't seem to be any confirmation on the device that it was recognized, although there was data on it. And usually there is a format option on any device, but none here. I had to go online, log into my Garmin account, and download the PDF manual. Wireless map update is a nice feature.
