Garmin Drivesmart 55 MT-S review
Test scoreShow Context
- Dedicated
Garmin DriveSmart 55 & Live Traffic (often listed by retailers by its model number DriveSmart 55 MT-S) sits in the brand's high-end range of portable sat navs. It has a 5.5-inch edge-to-edge screen (compared with the more expensive DriveSmart 65 model) and offers features such as European mapping, hands-free calls and live traffic data. It does without the DAB/TMC traffic receiver of the more expensive Garmin DriveSmart 55 & Digital Traffic model. Does this omission affect its usability? Find out in our full Garmin DriveSmart 55 & Live Traffic review.
