Pros and cons

According to our car navigation expert

You can easily check your route on the razor-sharp 6-inch HD screen.
You avoid fines thanks to warnings about environmental zones.
With traffic information via your smartphone, you're up to date on the current traffic situation on the highway, provincial roads, and city centers.
You have to download an app if you want to receive live services like live traffic information, weather, and gas prices, which can lead to extra phone costs.

Description

With the Garmin DriveSmart 66 EU MT-S, you can quickly and easily reach any destination in Europe. You check your route on the anti-glare 6-inch screen. The DriveSmart 66 is the first model with an HD screen. Another upgrade compared to its predecessors is the environmental zone routing function that warns you when you're nearing a low-emission zone. That way, you avoid unnecessary fines. The navigation system warns you about dangerous traffic situations, so you're always aware of accidents or sharp corners. Connect your system to the Garmin Drive app on your smartphone to receive live traffic information as well. Thanks to the Tripadvisor ratings and the points of interest function, you can always find the best restaurants and sights along the route.

Note: the battery of your navigation isn't made to last a long time. That's why you should always connect your charging cable before you start driving.

Good device, but requires some work

Large and bright screen
Many options
Many settings
Many settings (sometimes not seeing the trees through the woods)

It is a good device, but it takes some work to set everything up. Not everything is equally logical and clear. That can be a bit frustrating.

Nice device, but with many flaws

Bright and easy to read screen
Nice flat
A lot of information
battery is empty very quickly, even when not used

As a navigation system for simple from A to B (whether or not on highways, etc.), this Garmin is very useful. If you want more variation in routes (ecological, adventurous, beautiful) then you are stuck with pre-programming routes in Basecamp. A major setback is the battery, which formally should be able to last for 1 hour (which is already tight), but in practice it is often empty after a few minutes - even if the device is simply in the cupboard. Always need a USB charger! The input of the charging cable is also vulnerable: the standard (very thick) charging cable often does not work for me. A "normal" USB-c works much better.

Broken GPS? This one is highly recommended.

Possibility to choose a part of your route yourself.
Data dashboard while driving. All data can be viewed live.
User Interface is a joy to work with.

Best GPS I've ever bought. Includes all the bells and whistles. Also for the IT nerds like me. Processor could have been a bit more powerful when you want to watch things live on the map but is still more than good.
