User questions & answers

Question:	How large is the display
Answer:	This model has a 6.95" display.
Question:	Is the smart phone traffic updates more reliable than the HD Traffic cable
Answer:	I also find it very much more reliable. I have a Garmin with standard LMT and it often reports "no traffic" (problems) while I'm sitting in an 8-mile backup. This DriveSmart 61 is fast and accurate at least in the Seattle Metro area zones (as in from Olympia to Everett, WA. Because of this I'm replacing that one ( an 2699 LMT HD) with another DriveSmart 61.
Question:	what is the release date
Answer:	Shows all model's release dates: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/42240
Question:	Does this unit come with the traffic cable in the box or does it need to be purchased separately
Answer:	Old question I know but felt it might be needed to clarify, this GPS can work with the app or the GPS cable. The difference in the two is accuracy and range, the app will get a larger more accurate view of traffic by looking at vehicles with a Garmin GPS inside than comparing these vehicles speed to the speed limit of the road. The cable works by radio a special band that is used to inform others of heavy traffic it can work pretty well but is reliant on the radio stations it can pick up (about 20-30 miles) and how accurate these reporting are (some rarely use this while others will but never remove the notice after it's been cleared). The app offers for features and gives you a larger look of traffic around you even hours away and in some chases re-route you early on so you can avoid heavy traffic if possible but this requires mobile data to use. The cable is less reliable and it's usefulness depends heavily on how well the town you are in/near reports this information and also poor range (a reported delay of 30 mins is no good (re-routing) if it takes you 10 mins of being in bumper to bumper traffic to come close enough in range to see the alert, this isn't frequent but can happen when going thru large cities (Kansas City, Saint Louis, Memphis, Atlanta) etc you get the point.

Navigate with Garmin caliber GPS data on the mobile device of your choice. The GLO 2 receiver brings you the best of both worlds by combining GPS and GLONASS receivers with Bluetooth wireless technology so you can enjoy precise position information on your iPad, iPhone or Android device.

The Accuracy of GPS and GLONASS

What’s more, GLO 2 updates its position information at 10 times per second; that’s up to 10 times more often than the GPS receivers in many mobile devices.

Set it Up and Go

Using Bluetooth technology, the GLO 2 receiver wirelessly pairs to your mobile device. Just set GLO 2 within range of your mobile device, and in moments, you’ll be receiving the GLO 2 receiver’s position data. It has up to 13 hours of battery life to keep your position on long trips, and charging GLO 2 between uses is easy with the included USB cable or optional 12/24 V vehicle power cable.

User questions & answers

Question:	looking to mount this permanently in the rear of my car. Does the unit turn on when connected to power source or does power button need to be pushed
Answer:	I had to check because I had never thought much about this possibility before. I plugged in a my 12 volt in my truck that is powered when ignition is turned on and upon vehicle start the Glo2 turned on automatically and started searching for a gps signal and a bluetooth signal as well. When I turned off ignition the Glo2 stays on due to the internal battery in the Glo2. So really it will never turn off unless Glo2 battery dies. However, even if Glo2 battery dies it should still start back up upon ignition since that is the other option to run it or charge it anyways. I have left in my RZR and truck for days using it on and off it plugged into a 12 volt source with never an issue. It's a great little unit. Hope this helps.
Question:	Does this model have windows 10 support? want to use in 2 in one dell laptop/tablet. thank you
Answer:	Yes
Question:	What's the accuracy with this unit
Answer:	I think you can generally expect to see accuracy to within 100 feet. I’m talking about when you use it in a car, which is what I do.
Question:	Is there an app to see how many satellites and strength the device is currently connected to? Does it even have an app
Answer:	For Android, "Bluetooh GPS" app does pretty much what you describe and is the app recommended by Garmin when configuring the GLO/GLO2 for android devices.
Question:	Has anyone used this with the Trackmaster app on Android (lap timer
Answer:	Have not tried it with Trackmaster on Android. It's more dependent upon the App though than the transponder, as the gps receiver works fine with both iPhones and Androids, as long as one remembers to switch the toggle switch to the corresponding format.
Question:	ios7 and Google Maps - will it give voice directions? I want to use it with my bluetooth motorcycle helmet in remote locations
Answer:	I do a lot of geocaching and the XGPS150 works great. The navagation program I mostly use is called copilot and it does have voice directions but I don't think that has anything to do with the XGPS150 but with the program. I have not tried it with google maps but again that would depend on if google maps supports voice directions. I am using it with 2 different iPads, a 2 and a mini and it works great on both. Not sure if this will help you or not but I hope so. PS, I am using iOS7.1
Question:	lap timer
Answer:	I use to conjunction with my 3GS Iphone and an App called Harrys Lap Timer. I ride motorcycles on the track and the GPS works very well with it. I had to wire in a cigarette port into my bike to power both the phone and the GPS to get any real battery life. Once I did this it worked perfectly I'm very satisfied.
Question:	will the GPS work while being charged as the same time? Thanks
Answer:	it does, however when you plug in the USB charging cable while in use, and switch out of/back into the Dual Electronics SkyPro app - I have noticed it take more than 10-20 seconds to reacquire signal if not in direct satellite view (e.g. driving on forest covered road). This was concerning on my first initial tests while driving, though in subsequent tests (with more clear sky coverage) the app seemed to to reacquire GPS signal and location in

Question:	is there a 110v cord available for this unit

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this gps provide hands free calling with a windows phone? my phone has bluetooth, but no app in the windows store
Answer:	I think so but I'm not sure. The manual does not state any limit on a "smartphone" operating system for the speakerphone feature to work. I doubt that a special app is needed in the phone for it to link via Bluetooth. I know when I link my Android phone to various Bluetooth devices (I do not link it to my Garmin DriveSmart 61), no app is needed. Best regards, Doug
Question:	Will this work without a smart phone
Answer:	Yes. You just won't have all the advertised features but the basic navigation/maps will work perfectly fine.
Question:	Does this gps give voice turn by turn direction and continuous reroute
Answer:	Yes, Just like every other Garmin.
Question:	What is the internal storage capacity, and what is the size of the average update? I don't want to keep buying SD cards
Answer:	The internal memory on this device is 16 GB. An SD card would not be needed at this time due to the space on the device. If you choose to install a card, this device can use a maximum card size of 64 GB. Thanks, James

Question:	Does it come with three CT-10s as shown
Answer:	You guys are warm !! The heat generated is not from amperage, but from the tiny circuitry being forced into service. In comparison the USB path looks like a freeway to a straw - something like that. I RECOMMEND BUYING AN AUX DESK FAN - the USB 120mm multi-speed @~ 13USD is a decent enough amount of wind to keep a full size hard drive, that DOES use amperage (for the motor,) nice and cool - so it should work with what's plugged into your laptop or even a RAID deal going on. I'm just looking into this as the "next-vehicle" for ambitious dudes, deans, and danes. It is an effective alternative to an under-lappy cooler. Keep that air circulating! Another option is to heatsink it - if it can be done - maybe somebody sells somthing that will move the heat away by conduction and then radiate it - I can see an easy design. But you would sill want the fan on a hot day.

User questions & answers

Question:	Dose this unit work with a 64bit lap top and windows
Answer:	I've found it quite durable. I store mine in a SanDisk USB drive cover and it is in my pocket when I'm out.
Question:	will it work with Delorme Street Atlas
Answer:	Yes, it has a hole, but I'd put a jump ring between the drive and the key ring to put less stress on the plastic of this product. I don't know how brittle it is, but you'd not want the plastic to break and the drive to fall off.
Question:	what accuracy have people experienced
Answer:	of course! it works exactly like an external hard drive... though of course like all hard drives it isnt exactly 128g. It could be 127.9g or even 126g
Question:	Is it possible to use this GPS on android with mock locations turned off
Answer:	I just got one of these to back up the data on my Win8 laptop. It's as slow as MUD. I connected an external hard drive to the SAME USB port, and it was FAR faster. Avoid at all cost.I'd suggest this as the best alternative (get the 64GB for $50 rather than the 32GB for $45): Mushkin Ventura Pro 64 GB Flash Drive. It is USB3 but works very well on USB2 (and it's fast there too). One Xbox 360 user said it works perfectly (read the comments).

Question:	Does this unit come with power cable and window mount

Question:	What comes in the box? Car cable, sub cable,mount, etc

Question:	How far can the camera be from the monitor
Answer:	50 or more feet depending on obstructions.
Question:	Will backup camera work on a trailer being towed
Answer:	The camera signal works up to around 50 feet obstructed, meaning through house walls. It should work on a trailer without a problem. Image quality is surprisingly high.
Question:	Can the backup camera be powered with a coed
Answer:	The backup camera can only be powered by AA batteries (2) with lithium recommended. Alkaline will expire in short order.
Question:	How does the GPS inside the car recognize that the car is in reverse and need to show rear camera display
Answer:	The camera is triggered by touching a button on the Garmin display (it does not know if you are going forward or in reverse). You can actually have the rear camera on anytime.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with the garmin bean bag style dash mount
Answer:	I don't know, being a suspicious looking USB, the first thing I did was format the entire thing into a single partition. I highly suggest you try copying at least a TB to the drive before you use it for anything. The one I got acted goofy after just 130 GB was copied to it.
Question:	What is the difference between the 780 and 785 models
Answer:	I doubt it. It did not even last 5 minutes for me on a PC. This thing is garbage. Pick something else.
Question:	Does this GPS show red light cameras
Answer:	I wouldn't. Get a decent SD card from San Disk or PNY or Kensington and put that in a USB SD reader before you buy this.
Question:	Can you use a 128GB sd card for the dash cam
Answer:	This is what fooled me into buying it before actually taking the time to read. This USB is garbage. Try a reputable one.

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.
