About Garmin DriveSmart 76, 7-inch Car GPS Navigator
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
80% praised for its pinpoint accuracy, but 20% experienced occasional errors
The handheld GPS unit is very accurate and provides live updates on road conditions. It also allows me to speak to get directions and points of interest.
With extra nav systems, I find the GPS unit to be accurate within 10 feet.
My GPS unit is not as accurate as its predecessor and the recorded track is all over the place.
Sometimes the GPS unit has a poor job interpreting my requested spoken directions.

71% appreciated its long-lasting battery, but 29% found it drained quickly
I have found that the battery life of this handheld GPS unit is only 1 hour, but it's not a dealbreaker for me as I always use the power cable.
85% liked the clear display, but 15% found it hard to read in bright light
The 8 inch screen is luxurious with a handy portrait mode in certain situations. There is also fantastic resolution and much more information on the screen.
At the highest brightness level, the screen is almost illegible while wearing modestly tinted sunglasses at any distance.
