Customer Ratings & Reviews

Used 2X since I got my garmin! Love it. I have 3 other Garmin products and this does not disappoint. Easy to update and directions are clear both visually and by voice and most of all accurate! Won't travel without it! Most of all much cheaper than buying stock on my 2 Honda vehicles and only have to buy 1.

Initially it takes time to start on first time. After that works good. Lane sugg is good. Combined with iPhone app so that not req to type address.

good for starter GPS. able to link to smartphone for additional services. like the route shaping capability. screen color is a liitle washed out.

The Garmin - Drive 51 LMT-S 5" GPS is very good for navigation on the road. The lifetime maps are a plus, and the "lifetime" traffic updates are good if you have a compatible device to receive the traffic conditions, but it is not a stand-alone device because of the need for a iphone or other device to capture the traffic information and then connect with bluetooth to the GPS.

Unfortunately my previous Garmin GPS (which I liked; thought was better then previous TomTom) died just under 2-years. However, liked the functionality of it, so bought this one as replacement after researching reviews. Works as good as previous except touch screen takes little more "push" to actuate the item (some reviews also indicated same). Otherwise, functions well (just hope lasts longer than previous).

This is much easier to use than our previous Garmin GPS. The only negative about this unit is that to get traffic alerts, you have to connect it to your phone via Bluetooth. Not a real problem, but if your phone is not capable of connecting to two devices, you can't use your phone for streaming music while using for traffic updates.

This replaced another model and so far it is working well. It gave good directions, the only thing is when the exit came up it warned me a little late. Otherwise I am happy with the purchase

It is very nice. Larger screen than my previous one and easy to use. Has a few additional features I might use.

It does what it needs to. Im happy with it and happy i have it

I got this for my daughter as she just got her first car and is in school in a different state. Overall it is a decent GPS. Had one like it previously. My only big issue is that the screen is not as responsive as my other ones have been. Takes more to get it to recognize what you pushed, and letters very close together so have to correct a lot. However I would still recommend if need something smaller and portable that is easier on the budget. But, if can afford, the 6 inch glass screen is superior for touch performance.

This Garmin is a replacement for one we had for years. Love the bigger screen and graphics with views of the actual exit lane, etc. It is more user friendly having it mounted on the windshield rather than trying to use GPS on a smartphone.

The visual is good and the overlays are helpful. Our only criticism is that to access traffic it has to be connected to a smart phone app. This is a bit of a hassle and should be more easily accessible. When stuck in traffic it isn't a good idea to be looking at your phone.

This is a really great GPS unit. Good size to put on your dashboard and very easy to operate and setup. Would recommend the Garmin GPS devices to

This was a Garmin upgrade and it was similar enough to the old one that instructions weren’t needed. This was a good thing since I wasn’t going to use my data plan to read the online manual as we traveled. Saving the cost of data is whole reason for using a GPS. All in all, this is a great product and is easy to use.

Great GPS and perfect size for my Mini Cooper. Easy to navigate.

By the time it locates the satellite you could be half way to your destination. Sometimes it doesn't know left from right

I love the updates it gives when you approach a school zone, speed limit change, curve Etc. I hooked it up to my computer USB port to charge and try to get used to it functions but it won't open when attached to the computer! Other than that it is a good system.

GPS gives me exactly what I need. Easy to use. Perfect product for my vehicle for its price!

Has LTM but didn't tell me i had to use my smart phone and an app. To make it work

This particular unit does a fine job and has Google style features for finding locations. The only thing that is annoying is that every time you start your car the unit needs to acquire the satellites again and it sometimes takes a minute or two. My old unit was instantaneous.
