My last Garmin was the Nvi 3590LMT (5), which I bought 5 years ago. Although it had life time maps, the unit was beginning to power off even when plugged in. Plus it's 5 years old! A relic these days. Things I like: - The higher resolution of the 6.95 screen is greatly appreciated.

This replaced a TomTom we bought in 2011. We used this new one on a trip to Atlanta, GA last week. The touch display is great! Going down the Interstate it works as expected.Now for the quirks:The suction cup has to be wet to stay stuck to a smooth plastic disk designed for a suction cup.

Nice clear large screen and wonderful set of features. It found the most rural to city addresses and places. The voice feature worked great for me. Bluetooth with my phone was a little problematic. A call would often cause the Garmin to reboot.

Recently upgraded to the DriveSmart 61 from a much older Garmin, and so glad I did. Large screen is easy to read. Selecting items can be done with a light touch. Nice change from my older model which required a very firm push to select anything.

The display and graphics are great. The rest - not so much. Custom POIs don't work reliably. You can't turn off built in alerts like curves, animal crossings, railroad crossings and more, which I find unnecessary. I'd like to retun it and wait for a model that works correctly.
