Customers highly value the Drive 51 LMT-S 5" GPS for its ease of use and clear, accurate directions. The larger screen size is also a plus for many users. However, some customers found the traffic update feature to require a smartphone connection, which was a drawback for some. Overall, the GPS functionality itself received positive feedback.

No experience with other brands, Garmin has always been our choice. Been happy with their products. This model has the key features we look for at a reasonable price. Definitely a better keying function than previous generation.

This is a very good product. It does not come with an owners manual. You also have to download the app on your phone to get live traffic through the GPS. It is a good product.

Probably the most options that you can get in a GPS for this price point. It has everything I need for regular travel, but not extra bells and whistles that I won't use.

I got this to replace my old one, and to not have to buy the upgraded in dash version for my car.
Updates easily, but you might want to get a memory card for it if you keep many way points and saved addresses.

Needed replacement GPS and this model got good reviews. However, doesn't seem to react or keep up dynamically nearly as well as my previous Garmin Nuvi GPS.

Unreliable and useless

I had Garmin GPS for 10 years and it was great. When the battery finally stopped charging, I bought the new model. I am so disappointed. The battery doesn't charge if it's hot outside. In result, I find myself stranded because the GPS just won't turn on. I contacted the technical support and they said in hot weather the battery just shuts off and cannot be charged. For safety. So now I have a GPS that basically cannot be used in hot Northeastern summer. Waste of money.

This GPS should power on when connected to the vehicle power cable, regardless of the temperature. When a device won’t power on a soft reset often resolves the issue. Connect the device to a power source with the vehicle power cable or an AC adapter. Press and hold the power button for 10 to 15 seconds.
