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

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:	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:	Does this gps work with the garmin bc30 backup camera. I think its a bc30 just know its the one i was told to get
Answer:	I have the BC-30 on TWO of my cars with the Garmin DriveAssist 51, and it works GREAT. I have a mirror mount, and find both the GPS and backup camera are better than my factory installed set, and at a better viewing location. It also, like many backup cameras, allows you to complete adjust the "GUIDE LINES" for backing up edges and distances.
Question:	Is there a garmin gps for car with backup camera
Answer:	I can confirm that BOTH the DriveAssist 50 and the DriveAssist 51 work with the GAMIN BC-30 backup camera. Installation is quite easy.
Question:	Is this free returns
Answer:	I presume so with every Amazon purchase!
Question:	Is this the gps used for uk and France navigation
Answer:	You would just have to find the maps and upload it into the Garmin.

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.
