Traffic alerts: When navigating along the major highways of metro areas, most GPS devices can give you alerts about traffic delays along your route and ask if you want to reroute.The systems of GPS devices, however, depend on saying specific commands, so they aren’t as conversational as Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa. Voice control: A good voice-control system can make it quicker and easier to input a destination, control volume and screen illumination, get traffic and weather updates, and cancel a route by speaking a command.The 55 also provides helpful traffic info in many metro areas, responds to voice commands as well as the best GPS units, and like other top models includes free lifetime map updates-a contrast to the pricey updates you buy for many cars’ built-in nav systems. The DriveSmart’s extensive points-of-interest database helps guide you to an area’s best sites and businesses, with integrated TripAdvisor ratings, Foursquare listings, History Network sites, and US National Park directories, which other brands’ models don’t offer.
Like the best GPS models, the 55 can also connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth, which lets you send destinations to the device, get incoming messages on-screen, and receive extra trip and traffic info. While the 5.5-inch screen is larger than on typical models-which have 5-inch screens-the overall unit is slightly smaller thanks to the 55’s sleek bezel-less design. And its multi-touch control is much easier for zooming in or out on a map than the typical GPS screen’s controls.
