Cell And Gps Tracker For Vehicles

Good features and portable to take in vehicles without GPS. Better than phone GPS, especially for long trips. Lifetime map updates is a plus. Two recommendations: 1...Get a micro SD card that it can support (max 32 GB) so maps have room to expand into for storage. 2...Set a calendar reminder for connecting your device to your computer occasionally for map and other updates with Garmin Express software (I have mine set to remind every 3 months)

I have purchased a Garmin GPS for my vehicles for several years and have been very happy with their operation and accuracy. I am not that smart when it comes to setting up an electronic device. However, with my Garmin Drive Smart 66 I followed the instructions and plugged it into my computer. After the download I was ready to go. I believe & trust my Garmin GPS's. ve

I hesitated between the AirTag and a GPS tracker to have an exact location of my luggage after all the news channels were reporting the catastrophes of travelling summer 2022 (by the way nothing happened after 6 different flights). After all the online videos and reports of how well the AirTag works, I was convinced to buy and try. Any GPS tracker would need an extra monthly subscription. The AirTag does not have any extra fees and the location find was always working even across the Atlantic ocean. So far, so good.

It’s specifically designed for older vehicles. It enables me to use my cell phone through the speakers in the vehicle while at the same time charging my cell phone. Can’t beat that!

Coming from a Nuvi 2460 this GPS does so much more. It's like night and day. There are a couple of things that confuse me and at this point being I just bought it and used it for one out of state trip so far i'm not sure if it's a user issue or the way this unit is supposed to operate. I noticed a couple of the routes it directed me to go were out of the way compared to my cell phone app that I would normally use and the concerned me. The other thing I have yet to figure out is listening to music and getting the directions through my cars audio system. Usually I can have Spotify going and my cell phone GPS app will interrupt the music with directions when necessary and then the music will continue. So far I haven't had that happen. I thought it operates both like my cell phone app does. I thought I can pair the Garmin with my vehicle and not have to depend on a cell phone to do it. In any event I hope it's something that I haven't figured out yet because if it's the way it is supposed to operate it will lessen my likability somewhat.

Why would anyone use a cell nowadays for mapping. This gps is great for riding motorcycles. Can’t wait to see future updates. Only downside is the roads are not as updated as google maps.

Bought to use on new tritoon boat for speedometer, GPS and bluetooth music on cell phone

I have been using Garmin vehicle GPS for decades. I find using a GPS navigator is superior to using a cell phone. Navigation always works regardless of cell service. Every couple of years the manufacturer updates them, and I generally upgrade every few years. This RV795 was purchased to replace a Drivesmart 51 that is probably 8 years old. I like the bigger screen, and the processor is much faster. Reroutes are quick and searches require fewer steps. You can just say something and the RV795 will search for it without navigating menus. It seems to recognize speech better too. The game changer is the overhead photos of your location making it easier to find a way in or out of a parking lot/campground. The caveat here is that you need the RV795 to be connected to a cell phone for traffic, 4 square, and overhead photos which are downloaded. The Garmin Drive app works well and I use it on a daily basis. The GPS and nav still work, just not all of the extras. After updating the firmware, op software, and maps, it took a while to figure out how to make traffic etc. work. Once connected to the phone using the Drive app, it works well. Like most devices these days expect some work to get everything working. The results are worth it.

For many using a cell device is adquate. I prefer a dedicated, self-contained GPS for driving and the new Garmin flawlessly does that. I guard what privacy there still is and Garmin allows operation with and without a cell connection. Good enough! Unlike my former GPS with lifetime maps (yeah, right) this accepts voice commands and they work surprisingly well. With the pre-loaded points of interest, naming a place works as well as punching in or calling out an address. Information is logically and clearly presented on a large screen and turn-by-turn instructions are timely and useful. I'm pleased.

Great for keeping your hands warm and being able to operate not only my 50d but my cell phone and gps without taking gloves off and on!
