    Not as good as the Nuvi model I replaced but it gets the job done. Pros...Simple, seems to do well with upcoming lane changes. Though a little touchy and kind of a pain to make any major changes, it does have the ability to edit the route you want to take. No more having to just pass up the exit it wants you to take and wait on it to recalculate. Cons...The address search, unlike the Nuvi, you have to set the desired city in a totally different setting rather than while you type in the address. You type in house number and street then it just searches for anything with that combo, takes forever and half the time doesn't give you what your wanting, really annoying. Overall...Its a good basic GPS, will get you where to you need to go, but definitely prefer the older Nuvi models.

    Garmin Drive 51 LM 5" GPS is ok for most part. It sometimes gets stuck on a road and not able to get us to our destination. Some of these roads and landmarks are not new, They are part of Boston & Philly for years with no changes. If you do not know the cities, this Garmin GPS model won’t get you to some of the city’s destinations. I would recommend this Garmin GPS model due to it does take you to most of the destinations.

    I sent this to my brother for Christmas last year. He had a tom Tom and was always complaining about the costs of updates. I’ve never had to pay for updates and I’ve been a hard core Garmin user for years. It hasn’t steered me off a cliff yet! Love the options and it doesn’t butcher in pronunciation. I think this will last him longer than his truck!
