User questions & answers

Question:	Will this navigator allow me to choose my own route prior to leaving or does it only provide the "fastest" route
Answer:	When you enter in a destination you will have an option to choose from 3 different calculated routes. If you are wanting to create a custom route to go down specific roads, there is a Trip Planner feature built into the device which will allow you to insert shaping points along a road to take a specific route.
Question:	is there a 110v cord available for this unit
Answer:	All of these units have battery back up so you can never directly plug these into 110v. Any 2 amp cell phone/laptop chargers work or the provided 12v car adapter/charger. It also comes with a USB cord.
Question:	What is the expected battery life with a full charge? My neighbor says his lasts only about 35 minutes? Is this typical
Answer:	My new phone 51 has a battery life of about 5 minutes! No longer even if plugged in overnight. It sucks for anything other than using it in the car. I do have a large auxiliary battery I use with my cell, and I can plug the 51 into that for a longer live. They sell another unit with a 2 hour life but I would not trust the data they at GARMIN have. I was very disappointed at the short battery life. I intended to use it in the city when I had to walk and not burn up cell minutes.
Question:	What are the differences between garmin drive 61 lmt-s and garmin drive 60 lmt
Answer:	Garmin Drive 61 LMT-S can use the GPS without a smartphone. You have purchase a Garmin Traffic Receivers: 1. Garmin GTM 60™ HD Digital Traffic Receiver 2. Garmin GTM 36™ Traffic Receiver (North America) Garmin Drive 61 LMT-S is compatible with Garmin Traffic Receivers: GTM™ 36 (North America) and GTM 60™ HD Digital Traffic Receiver

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it say street names when navigating
Answer:	This product requires an OBDII recepticle to acquire data. These should be available on all post-1996 Ford trucks, HOWEVER, in that I have never been able to get this device to function properly on any of my Ford product vehicles, or any other brand for that matter, I have no reason to believe that it would work properly on your 2005 F-150 truck, or any other vehicle that you may own. I have tried three (3) of them on a wide variety vehicles from a '96 Ford Bronco, to a 2000 Lincoln Town Car, to 2004 Ford (6.0l Powerstroke Diesel) Excursion & none of them worked properly in any of those vehicle. Worse yet, the only thing that is more dysfunctional than the product is Tech. Support at Pyle. Not only totally incompetent, but they are rude, & continuallt try to leave the impression that the only thing wrong w/the product is as a result of "Operator Error", yet no matter how diligently I tried to follow their instructions as to how to fix an issue their suggestions failed to correct the problems, but several of their instructions made things even worse than they were at the start of the session. Finally, the rep. gave up & said that the problem needed to be "escalated" to a "Level II Tech." who would call me back. Seven (7) mos. later & I still have not received that phone call! My recommendation, find another product, from another manufacturer, & spend your $$ at another vendor's site, unless you place $0.00 value on your time & enjoy "exercises-in-futility" in which case you will feel right at home with this product, from this vendor.
Question:	Will this work with the universal tomtom dashboard mount
Answer:	No
Question:	If sold as new, why did it say this serial # was registered to another email account when I tried to open one for this
Answer:	Actually, to be 100% fair to you I need to do it in 2 parts. First, this type of product simply projects data to a spot on your windshield, it is "hardwired" into the engine mgt./diagnostic OBD Port in your car, it simply interprets what the signal box outputs to your standard digital & replicates it on your windshield. Since it does not have a transmitter to send any signal to an iPhone, & it doesn't acquire the vehicle data by means of a Bluetooth device I wouldn't know how it could communicate with your iPhone nor could I think of any reason that you would do with it, even if it could interface with it. There may be some device that will plug into the Engine Mgt. Box/OBDII system output & generate a Bluetooth signal that could be received by the iPhone, & software to convert the iPhone into the same type of projector as the Pyle device does, but I don't know about. i would question as to the reliability & quality of data replication integrity given the potentially large number of bluetooth devices that would be operating simultaneously inside the passenger compartment of the car. As I said, this is a 2-part answer. The Pyle device is so unreliable as to be useless for anything except as a curiousity lighting up your windshield. I am on my 3rd device, & would have sent it back to Amazon (Pyle only offered to replace the unit I paid a "new unit price when I bought is with a "customer returned/rejected" repaired unit. If they cannot make it work right in the 1st place I cannot bring myself to believe that they can properly diagnose a customer rejected/returned item. And, if they have figured out what the problem is with the unit; & have rewiewed sofware ve corrected it in a newer version of it, then they already owe me, & if you have bought a pre-redesigned model you as well, a BRAND NEW SEALED IN THE BOX UNIT & NOT A REBUILD. Remember this unit is an electronic/digital to the applicable analog display unit in a reverse process I have TRIED to use the define that I have finally retained for my use
Question:	Can it store custom routes with multiple "via" points
Answer:	Do not buy this. The speed jumps around and is inaccurate. No fuel gauge. Only fuel consumption in weird units like liters per KM. Or Liters per Hour. Not even MPG.

User questions & answers

Question:	I just purchased a smartdrive 65. i already have a gtm 60 hd digital traffic receiver. is there an advantage to use it with my new
Answer:	hi dear, if playback in app, please go to camera setting and check if your video " Play video from SD card " , once ok, then go to realtime page and click second one icon (right side position) for playback video. Enjoy it, Any others questions, feel free to contact me.
Question:	For the DriveSmart 55 and 65 models, do they come with free Lifetime map updates
Answer:	Sí, nuestro localizador funciona en ambos países (Colombia y Panamá). Si requiere usarlo en un solo país, puede activar BASIC pero si requiere usarlo en más de un país esto es posible solo con PREMIUM. El plan más económio a corto plazo es el mensual BASIC de 8.99 USD al mes. No es necesario que adquiera una tarjeta SIM pues el localizador ya tiene una integrada que se conecta al mejor proveedor de cobertura móvil de su área. La tarjeta SIM integrada no debe ser quitada o alterada pues dañaría el localizador y perdería su garantía. Para mayor información, puede contactar con el equipo de Atención al cliente de Tractive en tractive.com/contact.
Question:	Is there a monthly or yearly pay ? Like subscribtion , data or anything? Thanks
Answer:	Tractive has several roaming partners in every country - therefore we do work with different providers in the US as well. We always try to connect to the best available network. In the US our trackers work with the following roaming partners: AT&T Mobility, Viaero Wireless USA, T-Mobile USA, Verizon USA
Question:	For garmindrive 55, does it have us&canda map? does it have speed camera & red light warning
Answer:	not very wide at all, I use a very thin collar on my beagle cuz it's only on her for show, she's free-range and barely ever had a leash on. I'd say anywhere between 1" to 3"

User questions & answers

Question:	I just purchased a smartdrive 65. i already have a gtm 60 hd digital traffic receiver. is there an advantage to use it with my new
Answer:	I asked Garmin support this exact question since I have a GTM 60 and a Drivesmart 65/traffic also. The answer I got was that the built-In traffic receiver in the GPS works in more locations (some smaller cities) but that the GTM 60 will update more frequently and give a bit more detail when you are in large metropolitan areas. I am using mine with the GTM 60 and it seems to work well with the GTM 60.
Question:	For the DriveSmart 55 and 65 models, do they come with free Lifetime map updates
Answer:	The DriveSmart 55 & Traffic and the DriveSmart 65 & Traffic devices receive map updates and traffic without being charged.
Question:	Is there a monthly or yearly pay ? Like subscribtion , data or anything? Thanks
Answer:	Garmin appears to have become sneaky on this front. Their own site offers no LMT version for the DriveSmart 55. Neither do they directly mention updates for it. Elsewhere on the site, there is verbiage about PAYING for updates. No dollar amount cited. Only that one must download an app to obtain further info.
Question:	For garmindrive 55, does it have us&canda map? does it have speed camera & red light warning
Answer:	Yes, the Garmin Drive 55 includes mapping of the United States and Canada and has Red Light and Speed Camera warnings.

User questions & answers

Question:	I would like to order but I want to know if you can upload the map of the country Jamaica on the device before ordering it. Can you please assist
Answer:	If you want to know a very specific question, I would suggest asking that particular product details to the manufacturer.
Question:	Can you pick between back roads and interstate
Answer:	Of course, you can make your own choice, or you can collect your favorite destinations and map roads at any time.
Question:	Does it have the feature where it can show nearest gas stations as you drive? Does the settings have gas stations section
Answer:	Yes, it has this feature, it also has other features, such as speed assist, reduce speed, and even draw landmarks! The screen is large, so you can actually see everything! This is a good product worth recommending
Question:	How do you save a address to favorites
Answer:	Enter the navigation page, write your favorite address, you can save 2-3 favorite addresses, you only need to click to use it later
Question:	Will this also record your entire hike or trip? For instance the Map My Hike app for phones shows time, distance, and elevation once complete
Answer:	Yes it will record the entire hike or trip. Important though is to clear the previous track before starting a new one, once you are at the start of your new trip. Then when you complete the hike/trip save the track with a fitting name so you can then load it into basecamp or the much more useful earlier version , mapsource.
Question:	Will the 64st have some road capability along with the 100K topo? Also want to add 24k Mid atlantic, does unit have extra SD slot? is it micro
Answer:	I have the 64s. The 64st only has the US 100k topos included. I have the Garmin Southwest and West 24k maps loaded. If you want ROUTABLE road maps for the WHOLE USA you can get the navigator maps from Garmin or use the free ones which I use from openmapchest.org. They are very good. I have ALL the maps loaded on the SD card at once and it is easy to switch between them. The unit does have a micro SD slot under the battery.
Question:	What is or are the main advantages of the 64S over the 64 base model
Answer:	A big advantage, with the 64s I can exchange off-road maps and planned routes from other racers GPS's in the field using the units radios (bluetooth/ANT). With the basic unit, I understand you have to connect your GPS to a computer using the USB cable. If all you do is hike by yourself, the basic unit will do. Remember, the 64s does not have US topo maps. You will need the 64st.
Question:	what the difference between Garmin 64 series and Garmin 62 series
Answer:	Hi Kermit, sorry it's been a while since I logged on to Amazon. I'll start by saying that I used a 62 doing surveys as a contractor with DHS. It was a fine unit and did its job. In my work I never had to push any of its features to their limit so for us, it was very adequate. Having said that, when it came time for me to purchase a GPS for myself, I wanted the newer model, so therefore I went with the model 64. Keep in mind, both are base models for their respective series, so they do not have the fancier features of the s and st. As far as comparison, the 64, being newer has a bit more, but not that you'll necessarily notice. It depends on your use 64 62Built in Memory: 4GB vs. 1.7GBWaypoints: 5000 vs. 2000Data cards: Accepts microSD vs. Does not acceptGeocaching: 250,000 preloaded vs. paperlessHigh SensitivityReceiver: GLONASS AND GPS vs. NoneThere are complete lists on the internet as to which does what. I believe they are both pretty good units but the 64, being newer, is updated with a few more features and a bit more memory. the only drawback I can think of is that it lists the battery capacity at 16 hours vs 20 for the 62. In addition, I don't know if you can even get the 62 anymore. Once again, having used both, I see not major difference if you're just going to use it for some hiking, biking, getting your position, bearing, etc. Unless you're a scientist or you're going to load all kinds of data or save copious amounts of data or the like, I doubt you'll even notice the difference. I do believe the GLONASS does make a big difference in speedy acquisition of satellites, though. Sometimes it's acquired a fix even seconds after I turn it on. Is it a big deal? Not really, but hey, that might speak to the sensitivity of the unit in the field. So far, I'm happy with it. I hope this helps answer some of your questions.
