I got this to replace my previous Garmin 5" GPS as the maps were out of date and updates unavailable (Garmin stops providing updates after they stop making the particular model). I really like the larger screen, which is brighter and better definition. I like the hands-free Bluetooth, though Garmin really should understand that phone volume and guidance volume need two totally separate controls. As it is, if you want to hear someone speaking to you on the hands-free, the guidance will blast your ears. But if the guidance volume is appropriate, you won't be able to use the hands-free phone function without both parties saying, "What? What did you say?"
Aside from this, the unit is pretty much ideal. Easy to see, guidance and routing are good, and you have control regarding north-up or the odd "everything's swinging around all the time and I'll follow the arrow because I have no idea where it's taking me" setting whereby the map orients to the "you ahead" position, which is frankly a hazard and ought to be banned but apparently many people think it's acceptable because, presumably, they don't know how to read north-up maps.

Very poor quality product
This product is a piece of junk, plain and simple. This Garmin DriveSmart 60LMT can not handle the heat. First of all I own a Garmin nuvi 255W, and a 1490T. These units when not in use reside in the center console of our vehicles. I have never had any problems with these units what so ever. As for this new unit I bought, it sat in my center console over night and the pictures will explain the issue. The ambient temperature was 86°, Humidity was 52%, no this is not a selfie picture where everything is backwards. When the unit finally cools down either bringing it in the house or putting it in front of the AC, it works like a charm. I just bought this unit in the past week so there should be no excuse for this to happen unless Garmin is getting sloppy. As I mentioned before this unit can not take the heat, which makes it worthless to own. People keep there GPS units in their vehicles and I it doesn't matter where you live, you vehicle is going to get hot when locked up. I am going to return this unit, but I am not sure if I want to purchase another Garmin product. So in review, this unit fails to operate correctly when left in a vehicle, which means you have to carry this unit on your person just to keep it cool.
