Thank you for your review and recommendation. I am currently using a Garmin nuvi 2509/2609 series that I purchased in 2017. My system has worked for 6 years and I am very pleased with it, but I am starting to have problems and wish to replace it with another Garmin navigation system. I appreciate you breaking down the Drive Smart 65 device. Sounds like just what I need. 😃😃

Is there any way to unlock my smart drive 65 that does not accept the original South America map? According to information, it is blocked because it is a device for North America, they said that it does not include the original map of South America. I wanted to know if there is a way to change it that accepts the original Garmin South America map

Can we use BC 30 with this ? in that case do we need to use the new power cable which comes along with BC 30 or the one provided in the Garmin drive smart. Will I lose on the aux output functionality of the drive smart 65

It has one big downfall. If you set it for faster time once the GPS chooses the route if you miss the turn and the other way would be faster now it still constantly tries to get you back to the original route. I tested that on a trip where I knew both ways, the one GPS was sending me and one I took. My old Garmin GPS did not do that.

Awesome review! I am still planning to hold onto my Garmin 61 NA-LMT-S for a while. There isn't any significant difference between that model and the 65 Drivesmart version. Plus I have an SD Card & I have the GTM 60 Traffic Receiver. How long do you think will the 61 version last me? Please let me know.
@explorewithus79393 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your feedback dear. Appreciate it. I never used Garmin 61 but heard good reviews about that as well. Garmin is number navigation company in the world and it manufactures reliable and durable devices. I am sure your device would last longer.

I have 2 “old” Garmins. One w/ Voice Command, one older withOUT. Both still get me where I need to go, but I DO SOOOO wish the “G” folks would work on their products’ voice RECOGNITION!!! ((But EITHER of my Garmin devices beat the daylights outta the stinking gizmo in my ‘13 Lexus!!! I’d NEVER would have bought it had I known that you canNOT request navigation IN MOTION!! I have to pull to a stop, put it in PARK, and THEN request directions!!! SO MUCH FOR “HANDS FREE”!!!))

Great review. So now I need information about optional mounting... like attaching it to window vs free standing.
@explorewithus79393 жыл бұрын
I think it can't be standing freely. There's a suction mount you will get in the box. Fix it on your windscreen and then you can mount the device in it.
@kkrolf27823 жыл бұрын
Not many people have had much success over the the long term with the suction device from what I gather on y.t. I have 2 older devices, both of which I managed a very stable “mount” by using a black tube sock rolled up and finagled over the end of the suction devices. I then stuff the thing in a cup holder, or into a circular mount lodged in the dash vents. (Different placement depending on which vehicle.)

@BryanzHAn033 ай бұрын
It doesn't come with Philippine maps and Garmin stopped selling models that come with it years ago. However, you can still technically use it in the Philippines if you download OpenStreetMaps maps and put it in an SD card. I don't recommend it though since it introduces a lot of issues. You will not have traffic information and routing can be a odd since road infrastracture is different between USA and the Philippines. An example is when I tried loading a Philippine map and started routing, it wanted me to make a left turn off a major thoroughfare but in real life the turn is difficult since you will be turning against oncoming traffic.
