Garmin DriveSmart 61 NA LMT-S with Lifetime Maps/Traffic, Live Parking, Bluetooth,WiFi, Smart Notifications, Voice Activation, Driver Alerts, TripAdvisor, Foursquare

el gps es muy vistoso ya que su pantalla realmente es grande es algo estorboso de llevar en el parabrisas ya que ocupa un buen de espacio lo que hice es que lo puse en el tablero y me quita menos visibilidad, en cuanto a las funciones realmente es muy preciso me sorprendió que me dijo que iba en sentido contrario en una calle pequeña y si yo iba en sentido contrario hasta la fecha no he tenido problemas me falta valorarlo en un viaje largo, un detalle es que cuando me llego al parecer los de la aduana lo revisaron pero parecía que hasta lo usaron pq venia con manchas de dedos y las bolsas de los cables abiertas, sin dudas es un buen gps y mas que es garmin

It does not work. NO data or power to start the gps

I have had bought Garmin GPS products but the Garmin 61 Drive Smart GPS is awesome. It took myself a bit to learn how to use the voice commands but once I had understood how to use it, the easier it was for myself. The WIFI update is most useful when I drive for a living I can use store that have free wifi or wait to go home very handy because I drive for a living. The blue tooth hands free works well if not in a noisy vehicle like the one I drive for a living. Live traffic using your cell phone link application works well once paired with your cell phone. Four square feature allows you to find restaurants, Banks and etcetera in a four square radius is very handy. Find parking does the same as four square. The Garmin Drive Smart 61 has many excellent features that the basic Garmin GPS lacks. I am glad I decided to purchase this over the basic or truck GPS model.

This GPS has everything - great screen, the latest Garmin guidance maps updatable free for life, free traffic for life with your phone app or a GTM 36 traffic receiver/power converter, Voice Command that actually works, warning when you come to a speed camera, and optional backup camera with the separate camera kit and power/receiver unit. Garmin has re-programmed the school, railroad crossing, and warning ribbons so they slide back after giving the warning, overcoming the objections of early adopters who complained that the warnings covered up street names. If you get the back up camera kit, have a professional garage install it. Costs about $200 for installation. The back up camera works very well. However, the backup camera's wireless GTM 30 receiver/power cord that replaces the standard power cord for the GPS unit in the car will not pick up traffic. And the receiver/power cord that does pick up traffic - the GTM 36 - won't pick up the wireless signal from the back up camera. So you have to use your phone to get the lifetime traffic feature if you also want a back up camera. If you buy this GPS, get the Charger City 9055 GPS Vent Mount to go with it and mount it on an air vent on your dash. It stays on more solidly than the windshield mount that comes with the Garmin DriveSmart 61 NA LMT-S. [The Garmin vent mount doesn't work on many cars - it has gripper arms that are too short for many vent blades.] Mounting the GPS on the air vent nearest the right side of the steering wheel puts it where you can see it, and it's much safer than sticking it on the windshield.

fantastic! wonderful! Brilliantly designed! That is my impression of the Garmin 61 NA LMT-S! After using a Garmin Nuvi for several years I decided to upgrade. What an upgrade this unit is!!I While I don't actually travel interstate much anymore after being retired for 26 years, I and my wife do love to just meander around the countryside. With a good GPS unit there are few if any surprises and no unpleasant surprises at all. Just so you know, I spent most of my adult life driving from coast to coast in the USA and Canada. What a blessing a tool such as this would have been had such been available in my time on the road! It would have saved me the inconvenience of carrying two suitcases full of city maps and adding to my collection almost weekly! One can't help but note some of the reviews complaining about how hard it is to set up this unit. I beg to differ. While the menu is lengthy it's really simple if one will just take the time to read the instructions ... it's a breeze! If one is unfamiliar with note books, computers, smart phones, and so on then do please take the time to absorb the instructions. You can do it if you have any aptitude at all for this sort of thing! And you will find the time you spent with the instructions most rewarding. The large display make the street names easy to read even for my old eyes! The audio and visual notices [school zones, curves, speed limits, and so on are great tools! But they are there if you like them and easy to disable if you don't care for them. Customizing the display to one's personal likes is easy ... read the instructions. [I know fellows ... reading instructions can be so ego deflating ... but if you get off by your self and read 'em no one will ever know!] One accessory I would recommend would be a good friction type dash mount. Great addition! It allows the unit to quickly and easily be removed from sight while leaving no telltale marks on the inside of the windshield! Well worth the small additional expense. BTW ... I have absolutely no financial, familial, or emotional connections to Garmin at all. My only interest is my fascination with the excellence and functionality of this unit.
