QuestionHi... can I use this device on the truck? Because as far if I know they are different from cars and trucks Thank you
Asked 7 years ago by Rosdua.
- Answer You could use this for a semi-truck, however please be advised that this model does include any truck specific routing. The Garmin dēzl™ series includes detailed maps for North America that also include truck-related restrictions – like bridge heights, sharp curves, weight limits and more – and related information for most major roads and highways.

QuestionCan I track my route on the screen with the 51LM. I like to move the screen around and look ahead, is this posssible?
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes, this device will record a Trip Log (tracks) that can be displayed on the map screen. The Trip Log is essentially an "electronic breadcrumb" trail that shows you where you've been whenever the device is turned on and has acquired satellites.

QuestionIs this trucker gps
Asked 7 years ago by Rodney.
- Answer The Garmin Drive 51 USA LM is not a "Trucker" or "RV" GPS unit. It is best for passenger vehicle and/or pickup ect...... Garmin has two GPS units Specifically to be utilized by Large over the road Trucks and/or RV's they are the Garmin dezl 570LMT (5") or the Garmin dezl 770LMT (7"). Both of these have software that can aid in traversing the USA paying attention to such items as Vehicle Weight and/or High restrictions, the most efficient travel and up to date Traffic conditions ect.... As the user you can select the feature's which are most important to you the Large Vehicle Operator. I would think the larger 7" screen would afford the best view for the operator of a Large Truck or RV. Personally I have a 6" Garmin for my small Motor home. There are other GPS manufacturers who also have GPS units for similar uses. I personally have purchased for my personal use as well as for Family and Friends a minimum of 50-75 plus Garmin units over the years. You need to compare these two units and other manufacturers to determine what your needs are. If you are not familiar with the Garmin units, I would not purchase a unit with our the LMT featurers ("LM" Lifetime Map, "T" Traffic ). Hope this Helps!

QuestionCan this unit navigate without an exact street address? As an example could I simply type in Detroit and have it plot a route from where I am to the city without giving any more information?
Asked 7 years ago by Gabe.
- Answer Yes, If you do not have a specific address or point of interest in mind when navigating, but want instructions to help reach a specific city, the city itself can be set as a destination. This will calculate a route to a central location within the destination city.

QuestionI have the traffic receiver cable from an older Nuvi model (main unit was stolen off my motorcycle). Would this give me traffic capability with this model?
Asked 8 years ago by Dan.
- Answer Good questions! The Drive™ 51 LM does not include the traffic feature; take a look at the Drive™ 51 LMT-S that includes the Live Traffic service using your smartphone or an existing Garmin traffic cable. This device is compatible with the GTM 36™ and GTM 60™ traffic receiver cables. Thanks, James
