GarminDriveSmart 55 MT-S UK

Great product as all Garmin Sat Nav's. Easy to use and good commands

Excellent. Just what I wanted

I have been using garmin satnavs for years. I find them very easy to follow. Sometimes they do tend to take you to your destination via strange routes and I have had my share of wrong instructions in streets with dead ends, however overall I find them so far, the best in the market in their category. I appreciate that they tell you which lane to take and speed limits are usually right. Garmin DriveSmart 55 MT-S 5.5 Inch I had to return thought and go for the 6.95 inch model, for two main reasons. 1) the sound was distorted and it sounded muffled, 2) the screen (for me) was too small. So far so good, I depend on my satnav to take me safely to my destinations, however I also use google maps navigation as I find it even better on some occasions. I have tried tomtom and I could not use it with the same ease that I use garmin.

Really easy to configure and use. Excellent display, a lot to like.One niggle, it misses junctions and roundabout which are not important to the journey, in every case you want to go straight over the junction/roundabout and the map shows this, but there are no audio directions, and i find that disconcerting.But i have no regrets, it does an excellent job.

I like the easy step to set up the screen is very clear to follow , connected for hands free use of mobile , just trying to connect for up dating maps ect . Very easy to sort

fantastic product and fantastic service from amazon delivered a day early best company in world

It does a good job. Clear display. Touch response is good. 5.5 inches is just the right size imho. I am pleased to see they haven’t changed the user interface, so if you’ve had a Garmin before you’ll be able to use it straight out of the box.If you are right handed you can usually find somewhere to stick it on the rhs of the screen - which you can’t do with a built-in nav btw !Big disappointment is you don’t get a pouch. When I buy spec’s they come with little case or soft pouch to stop them getting scratched. The display unit needs something - which needn’t be fancy - just to stop the screen getting scratched when it’s in the glove box.

I’m not good with tech, and I needed to travel from Derbyshire to a high mountain top pass in Wales. My late wife was the navigator, I once got lost looking for a village south of Derby, so help was required. It turned out the pass wasn’t in the Welsh shire I thought it was in and I’d got the name wrong in both English and Welsh, Oops! Two days later I found it!If an idiot who doesn’t know how to use the tech, can find a mountain pass, somewhere in North Wales; that isn’t where I thought it was; that I have the wrong name of; that we visited several years ago, (the sat nav needs a more specific address.) Then on the early afternoon of the second day, find, not only the pass, but the exact spot! What else is there to say? I was born, both in the last millennium and the middle of the last century. As a kid this WAS science fiction, if I can get these results, anyone can.
