The Garmin DriveSmart™ 66 6" GPS Navigator is designed for drivers who want clear guidance, helpful awareness on the road, and easy connectivity in one dash-friendly device. Its bright, high-resolution 6" edge-to-edge touchscreen makes maps and key prompts easy to read at a glance.
For commuting, road trips, and vacation routing, Garmin voice assist enables spoken requests for navigation, while built-in BLUETOOTH® wireless technology supports hands-free calling with a compatible smartphone. When paired with the Garmin Drive™ app on a compatible smartphone, the navigator can also access live traffic, weather, fuel prices, and smart notifications to keep information where it’s most convenient: on the screen.
Connectivity
Garmin voice assist lets the navigator respond to spoken requests so drivers can search and start routes with their voice. With built-in BLUETOOTH® wireless technology, it can also sync to a compatible smartphone for hands-free calling, helping keep focus on the drive.
Navigation
When paired with a compatible smartphone running the Garmin Drive™ app (enabled with BLUETOOTH and GPS), DriveSmart 66 can show live traffic and weather, including forecasts, animated radar, and storm alerts. The same app connection also supports real-time fuel prices and smart notifications on the screen.
Display
This 6” GPS navigator, with its bright, high-resolution edge-to-edge touchscreen, lets you easily see important information and map details at a glance.
DriveSmart 66 includes preloaded street maps and map updates for North America, with coverage that includes the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and Bahamas. On the road, features such as lane assist with junction view and a speed limit indicator for most major roads in the U.S. and Europe help add clarity when routes get complex. Map storage details and expansion options can be found in the specifications below.
To encourage safer driving and increase situational awareness, driver alerts provide warnings for items such as upcoming sharp curves, speed changes, railroad crossings, school zones and more. Red light and speed camera warnings are not available in all regions, and the product notes information about purchasing an update subscription. These prompts are designed to help drivers stay aware of what’s coming up without needing to hunt for roadside signs.
Built-in Wi-Fi® connectivity supports wireless map and software updates without using a computer, with on-screen cues when updates are available. For connected features, DriveSmart 66 works with iPhone® and Android™ and supports smart notifications via app. It can also connect to a vehicle stereo via AUX (cable sold separately) or Bluetooth, and it requires a Bluetooth®-enabled smartphone and a cellular data connection for certain connected services.
For drivers who want added visibility behind the vehicle, DriveSmart 66 is compatible with Garmin backup camera models BC™ 30, BC™ 40 or BC™ 50. When paired with a compatible Garmin backup camera (sold separately), the navigator can display what’s behind the vehicle to help spot vehicles, pedestrians and other obstacles. This compatibility makes it easier to build a driving setup that supports awareness during backing and tight parking situations.
