Garmin DriveSmart 55 with traffic EX GPS (Latest Model)

The latest product I bought is very, very hot when I use it, and the GPS I used before is not like this. Maybe this is just an example of this product. So I decided to return it, but I still love this brand of GPS.

This Harmon was extremely easy to set up. My car is 10 years old and I have had 2 harming before this one you would have to connect to web and download now I just connect to Wi-Fi.

I like everything about this Garmin gps. It has every option that I wanted. That's why I bought this particular gps.

Price was cheaper if I had bought from a third party but still through Walmart. Not sure if it was worth it but I paid more to get "Sold and Shipped by Walmart". Love the GPS. Great size, smaller, and still has all the features.

Garmin DriveSmart 55 with traffic EX GPS (Latest Model) Pros: Good price. Good lane directions getting on and off US75 through Atlanta, US24 through Nashville, and US57 in Illinois. I could have gone miles out of the way without the GPS. It has good ability to change directions from what the original calculated map was to where I knew the way I wanted to go instead. After a few directions to turn around, it understood that I wasn't going the original way and recalculated the directions for me without having to stop and change the directions manually. Good size, and easily clamped onto the window, and taken off at night to be put out of sight. Good volume range, pleasant voice. Love the notice of speed limit in lower left corner. Cons: Yes it did warm up on the windshield facing the hot sun on a 85 degree day. Thanks to another review that I remembered, I turned the air conditioning to the windshield and the GPS cooled down. Traffic cable was almost non-existent. I did get one traffic alert that there was an accident 61 miles ahead. That ended up to be one damaged car on the drivers side center concrete barrier that we slowed and gawked at going 45mph. Glad I did not take an alternative route. I did not get any advanced notice of stop and go traffic on US24 that had closed one of the two lanes going in our direction for 10 miles until flashing signs warned to be prepared to stop. It took 50 minutes to go that 10 miles, and the only worker I saw surely did not put up all of those concrete barriers for 10 miles overnight. This should have been known about, and an alternative given!
