Review: This Garmin GPS exceeds my expectations! - I bought this GPS because I don’t have a navigation tool in my car and I didn’t like using my phone to navigate. This device is awesome! I had an older version and liked it so I bought this upgrade and I love it! It’s easy to program in destinations and has so many features! The screen is a nice size and very clear and vivid. I like it so much that I keep it plugged in even when I don’t need navigation assistance. It automatically turns on and shows you where you are going. Another thing that I like is that it has a subtle beep when you are approaching a school zone or when the speed limit is dropping. It has road construction alerts and reported traffic slowdown alerts as well. I took a long trip and after two hours it beeped and suggested that I take a rest! I synced it with my phone but I don’t care for that feature because sometimes the Garmin app just randomly pops up on my phone and asks me questions. This GPS is great, I wish I had bought it sooner! Review: Beautiful display. Very good Voice command system. Good voice and visual guidance. - I purchased the Drive Smart 55. I am very pleased with the unit. Even though it is only 5.5 inches, its excellent resolution (for a GPS unit) makes it easy to read and follow. You do need to spend a little time with it to get it set up how you like. One feature I really like is its excellent voice command interface. I use it with my 2006 Corvette. The rake of the windshield on that car means that mounting it low enough that it is not a distraction means it is far enough away that using the touch screen is a bit of a bother.

I do wish that I could control the settings (other than volume) using voice. Not enough of a minus to cost a point IMHO. [Update 5/7/2019: Further use of the voice control reveals that it can be hit or miss: For example I had a hard time getting it to recognize the street name 'Morriss' - it kept finding Morse regardless of how loud I yelled at it. I did find that including the city/state as part of the address made a big difference. ] Like most GPS units (including Google Maps) it is slow to change from 150-250 ft to zero when you are at the next turn. However, the indicator on the map is spot on, so a quick look tells you what you need to know. The displayed directions are concise, useful and large enough to take in at a glance. I wouldn't mind shutting off the speed function, as it is redundant to my head-up display. I have not figured out yet if it is possible to turn that off [5/7/2019: you can turn off the audible but not the display], but I suspect it is. (It always has a reddish tint . I don't need it to tell me that I am generally exceeding the speed limit by a few MPH when not in residential areas :D ) I have not yet used the traffic system. I will update this review once I have. Overall I am very pleased with the unit so far. ## Features - Easy-to-use 5. 5” GPS navigator.External memory storage: This USB mass storage device is compatible with Windows XP or newer and Mac OS X 10.4 or later..Control Method:Voice.Special Feature:Voice Assistant; Wireless Updates; Live Traffic and Weather; Traffic Cams And Parking; Hands-Free Calling; Smart Notifications; TripAdvisor; History Database; National Parks Directory; Garmin Real Directions; Driver Alerts. - Simple menus and bright, easy-to-see maps - Garmin Traffic suggests alternate routes - Voice-activated and ability to pair with a compatible smartphone for hands-free calling - Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for map and software updates without a computer ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07M98Z8DD | | Additional Features | Voice Assistant; Wireless Updates; Live Traffic and Weather; Traffic Cams And Parking; Hands-Free Calling; Smart Notifications; TripAdvisor; History Database; National Parks Directory; Garmin Real Directions™; Driver Alerts | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Battery Average Life | 1 hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #32,179 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #141 in Vehicle GPS Units & Equipment #155 in Car In-Dash Navigation GPS Units | | Brand | Garmin | | Built-In Media | Garmin DriveSmart 55, vehicle suction cup mount, traffic receiver/vehicle power cable, USB cable, quick start manual | | Compatible Devices | Android, Cars, iPhone | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Connectivity Protocol | Bluetooth | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth, USB | | Control Method | Voice | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,909 Reviews | | Display Type | WQVGA color TFT with white backlight, resistive touch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00753759211875 | | Human-Interface Input | Touchscreen | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.4"L x 0.7"W x 3"H | | Item Type Name | Smart GPS | | Item Weight | 5.3 ounces | | Manufacturer | Garmin | | Map Types | City Tour, Street | | Mfr Part Number | 010-02037-02 | | Model Name | GRDRIVE55 | | Model Number | 010-02037-02 | | Model Year | 2019 | | Mounting Type | Dashboard Mount, found in image | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operating System | Windows XP | | Resolution | 480 x 272 | | Screen Size | 5.5 inches | | Special Feature | Voice Assistant; Wireless Updates; Live Traffic and Weather; Traffic Cams And Parking; Hands-Free Calling; Smart Notifications; TripAdvisor; History Database; National Parks Directory; Garmin Real Directions™; Driver Alerts Special Feature Voice Assistant; Wireless Updates; Live Traffic and Weather; Traffic Cams And Parking; Hands-Free Calling; Smart Notifications; TripAdvisor; History Database; National Parks Directory; Garmin Real Directions™; Driver Alerts See more | | Sport Type | Outdoor Lifestyle | | Supported Satellite Navigation System | GPS | | Touch Screen Type | Capacitive | | UPC | 753759211875 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Car | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Stereo - **Battery Life:** 1 Hours - **Brand:** Garmin - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth, USB - **Map Type:** City Tour, Street - **Model Name:** GRDRIVE55 - **Screen Size:** 5.5 Inches - **Vehicle Service Type:** Car ## Images ![DriveSmart 55 and Traffic, GPS Navigator, 5.5” Display, Simple On-Screen Menus, Easy-to-See Maps - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oyw3rlhCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Garmin GPS exceeds my expectations! *by F***N on June 2, 2024* I bought this GPS because I don’t have a navigation tool in my car and I didn’t like using my phone to navigate.

More viable attaching to dash needs to be available. Vent is unreliable, magnet maybe, but you have to put a screw in your dash. And a learning mode should be available where the voice shuts up and pays attention. Second issue is any time I turn it back on I have to agree to terms and conditions, should be one and done, it also tries to access via usb automobile entertainment center and it doesn't do that and I get an error message from my car. ## Frequently Bought Together - Garmin DriveSmart 55 and Traffic, GPS Navigator, 5.5” Display, Simple On-Screen Menus, Easy-to-See Maps - 1Zero GPS Suction Cup Mount for Garmin [Quick Extension Arm], Replacement GPS Dash Ball Mount Dashboard Windshield Car Holder for Garmin Nuvi Dezl Drive Drivesmart Zumo Driveassist DriveLuxe RV - Digicharge Hard Carrying Case for 5 Inch Garmin Drive 53 52 51 Drivesmart 55 51 50 Driveassist 51 50 Driveluxe 52LMT-S 51LMT-S Zumo XT 396LMT-S 595LM 395LM Dezl OTR500 Nuvi 5'' GPS Accessory Storage --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/106470093-drivesmart-55-and-traffic-gps-navigator-5-5-display-simple](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/106470093-drivesmart-55-and-traffic-gps-navigator-5-5-display-simple) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
