It's ridiculous that Garmin made such an easily-avoided error in designing this product--the Speak might be too small to fit volume up & down buttons, but Garmin could have added a setting for voice prompt levels to the smartphone app

A little frustrating at first, but Garmin announced the issue early and had a fix within a week

The Garmin is not very satisfactory.

I love Garmin and I love Alexa.

great".The Garmin uses your phones wifi to work, the Garmin Speak app works with your Bluetooth®-enabled smartphone relying on a suitable cellular data connection; Use your phone’s Bluetooth or an AUX cable to hear audio through your car stereo , which is fine, but if I am going to use my phone anyway, I may as well use my phone's navigation as well which is far superior as it has a map to look at and seems to have better directions

Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and I am considering making the mighty Garmin Speak a present to loved ones for the Holidays.

With all that in mind, I have a good data plan, a newer smart phone, and a car with SYNC services, and for me the Garmin Speak works very well

Good Lord Garmin, come on!!

Garmin should get an award for producing the worst product of the year with the speak plus!

I have had the Garmin Speak with Alexa for a week now and so far so good

Garmin really disappointed here

Unless Garmin can help me rectify these issues, I will likely return this item, and wait for a new version that solves some of these critical issues

garmin missed the target on this too

First, as others have mentioned, you have to have the Garmin Speak app on for it to work.

The Garmin seems to work great unless the stereo is super loud

Garmin is like the bmw of Nav and amazon is amazon

This is by far the worst Garmin device I have ever purchased

The worse Garmin product I have ever purchased

I love Garmin!!

On the Garmin side, I've owned numerous Garmin Nuvi devices over the years, and I've been a loyal Garmin 60CSX fan for trail GPS access.

Requires 12V power and a compatible iOS / Android device with a data plan and internet connection, the free Garmin App to be running, and be linked to an Amazon account

This is by far the biggest disappointment ever and Garmin should be ashamed.

I love Garmin, and I love Alexa

Garmin uses weasel words regarding it's future availability.("Spotify is not available at this time" or "... services like Spotify are expected to be added as available" whatever that means)

If you were looking for a full blown Garmin GPS, you might not be happy

This incredibly tiny black barrel provides Alexa, Garmin, and camera all in one and makes bluetooth transmission from your phone to your car stereo (Aux) nice and easy

Sorry Garmin.

I love engaging Garmin for directions even though at this point they have always been to places I know how to get to

Alexa ask Garmin for navigation to work

Your phone does all the work through Garmin’s terrible app for this

Garmin will tell you if you're exceeding the speed limit, but it seems the speed limit maps are a bit out of date, and unfortunately, Garmin cannot tell you what the speed limit is, nor will it alert you to driving over the speed limit unless you're actively navigating a route.

Garmin doesn't advise you that you missed a turn and that its redirecting,garmin also doesn't realize in NJ we have Jughandles and roundabouts

Epid fail Garmin.

The Speak plays wonderfully through my Bluetooth car stereo and upon boot up (car start), it takes about 20 seconds on my time to receive the “Garmin Ready” notification

I’m not sure who should be more ashamed, Garmin or Amazon

I have a very good 4G connection on my phone for almost my entire route

It's tiny, which I love as it doesn't take up a bunch of room on my windshield.

When I saw this product online, it appealed to me as it was a navigation aide and the screen was simple.

She didn't seem to work as we had hoped.

That does indeed work as I'd hoped--the iPhone/Speak Bluetooth connection so far seems to be rock solid

Nothing works as it's supposed to and nothing like Alexa at all

Worth about $50 in value, maybe $100 tops if it worked as it should.

It's unfortunate as it means I cannot count on it as a navigation device during times when I would need it.

The bad - I asked to navigate to an address and said I had to manually input it in the Speak app
