Product Manuals

Q: does the front camera record or just live? if so what resolution? how long will it retain?

A: Great questions! The built-in dash camera continuously records your drive to a replaceable microSD™ card, a 4gb card is included. The DriveAssist 51 LMT-S offers 720p and 1080p resolution and records approximately 12 minutes per GB if you are recording at the Higher Resolution (1080p). This device can use up to a 64GB card. Thanks, James

Q: Does this unit need to have a different cord to get instant traffic updates without using my smartphone data, I keep getting conflicting opinions on this, I'm thinking of upgrading from my nuvi 2595 that does.

A: Good question. Yes, the DriveSmart 61 LMT-S will require the use of a compatible traffic receiver power cable if the Smartphone Link live traffic is not used. Both the GTM 60™ and the GTM™ 36 traffic receiver power cables are compatible with the DriveSmart 61 LMT-S. So if your other Garmin used one of these cables, you can absolutely use it! Thanks, James

Q: What garmen gps models are able to get update without a computer and what assessories would I need

A: I purchased the drive assist 51. It connects to wifi and updates with no issues. Also can use the included USB cable. Lifetime map upgrades are included. You shouldn't need anything else unless you want a mount different than the windshield mount. Also does not include a case.

Q: what is the difference in the DriveAssist 51 and the DriveAssist 50? i cant find a comparison that shows any differences.

A: The Garmin DriveAssist™ 51 LMT-S has several new features added like built-in Wi-Fi for wireless software and map updates, Incident Notifications, Travelapse™ and TripAdvisor® travel points of interest. If you’d like more information, Garmin Product Support is happy to help. Our contact information, including telephone numbers and hours of operation, can be found on our Support page: http://www.garmin.com/support Thanks, James

Q: How is the video quality for night driving?

A: I have been using the DriveAssist 51 for a month now and I would rate the video quality 4 out of 5....Value for money!

Q: Does the DriveAssist 51 LMT-S with camera have 2 memory slots, one for the dash cam and a second one for maps and data? It says a 4G memory card is provided with the system for the dash cam. If 2 slots, can I use 64G card in both slots?

A: The DriveAssist 51LMT-S can use a maximum card size of 64GB in the Camera SD card slot and 32GB in the Map SD card slot.

Q: Does this device have voice commands like the lmthd?

A: Yes, the DriveAssist™ 51includes Voice-activated navigation.Thanks, James

Q: Does this camera provide lane assist

A: Yes, it does so long as you calibrate the camera properly. You can also set the sensitivity and the location where you installed the GPS on your dash (left, right, or center), so it does not have to be dead center to work.

Tons of Features
I bought the Garmin - DriveAssist 51 LMT-S 5" GPS primarily because it had two features/capabilities that I was seeking: trip planning and an integral dash camera. I need to visit a number of locations throughout my county every so often and I have a limited amount of time to do so. Previously, I had to locate each address on a map and, after plotting them all, figure out the most efficient order for my route to avoid backtracking and wasted time. That was time-consuming and frustrating. The trip organization function allows me to enter addresses at random and then, with a push of a key, put them into the most efficient order for me to visit. YEA!! The high-definition dash camera was something I’d been wanting. It also provides a certain amount of security by automatically saving imagery in the event of an accident/sudden stop. This is a good feature. Other key features are Forward Proximity warning; lane departure warning; changes in speed limit; and “traffic is moving” alert (so you know when the backed up traffic in front of you finally starts moving because you were killing time doing something else in the car). An nice optional add-on is Garmin’s rear view camera (which must be purchased separately). NOTE: You will have to add a micro SD card for additional map and data storage as none is provided. A 4 GB micro SD card is supplied for the dash camera but I recommend you also replace the provided 4 GB video micro SD card with a larger capacity micro SD card to hold more video. (Make sure you get a card that supports video and not a slow data card.) This GPS device accepts micro SD cards between 4 GB and 64 GB. The higher capacity cards provide more storage for your money. It’s going to take you a while to get familiar with all of the features of this GPS (there are many) so be patient. Unless you live in/visit the “big city” there are a number of features you won’t use but that’s OK with me. I also strongly recommend you purchase a carrying case (none is provided) and be sure it protects the camera lens. You’ll also want to buy an AC power adapter so you can charge it and/or load trip information without being in your car. I bought my case and AC adapter from Garmin’s web site because I couldn’t find them at my Best Buy. Also, if you already own another Garmin GPS, you can transfer your favorites to the new GPS via the My Garmin web site. Recommended.

Beyond my expectations
Like most people, I use my phone as my GPS, but I started to wonder what current GPS devices offered. I was an early adopter back in the 2000s, so I’ve seen these devices evolve over time. But what blows me away is the quality of the voice command and the camera system. I definitely would spend extra to buy one of these higher end devices, as it does more than give directions. It is virtually hands free, where I simply declare “Voice Command” and it turns on. The degree of accuracy has been inconsistent, but I figure it will learn over time. Surprisingly, it worked well in Hawaii, where every other letter is a vowel. As you arrive at a location, it gives a live view and points out the location for you. The interaction with your Smartphone still needs some work, but it is ultimately effective, although a little tedious because you have to turn on your app and have it connect with your GPS device. I wish the device was easier to connect and disconnect, like the magnetic connection on the DriveLuxe model. But ultimately, I went with the DriveAssist version for the camera. But I preferred the DriveLuxe ease of disconnection. The cord is somewhat awkward as well, as it is an old USB mini connector instead of micro. The unit does not hold a long charge, so you need to keep it plugged in more often than you’d want. I would buy it again, but wish I could try the DriveLuxe. The camera isn’t as important as I thought because it takes some work to turn it on.
