Garmin DriveSmart 76 with Amazon Alexa

[BritBrat]

I was thinking of upgrading my current Garmin satnav to the one in the title.

But after reading some of the reviews on Amazon, I have second thoughts about its GPS accuracy and guidance.

Is there anyone here using this device or the one without Alexa?

I've been looking at these latest Garmins but they seem to no longer have the right side traffic bar showing yellow and red bars for your whole route.

That for me is a deal breaker.

As a result I inserted a new battery in my DS61

Thanks for the reply, if I do not choose another Garmin it may have to be TomTom, but the lack of being able to install the PGPSW speed cameras is my main issue.

I have toyed with the idea of having a cheap Garmin device (maybe my current Nuvi) just for cameras, alongside a TomTom for navigation.

Decisions, decisions.

EDITED:

I have just noticed that there is a different method to load the PGPSW database into the Drivesmart, does that mean you can't use the CSV to GPX Installer. ?

And yes, I use the sidebar too.

Looks like I will wait before upgrading. Just purchased a (Newly Overhauled) Garmin Drive 61 LMT-S.

AFAIK POILoader still works with the latest Garmins.

I now use Android Speedtrap Alert for the PGPSW database, works through my car headunit perfectly and is directional.

Mutes the audio, issues the alert, then returns audio volume.
