    This is a great device, which I bought for my daughter. She prefers to use the Garmin for navigation, instead of a smart phone. It is the perfect size...not too big, not too small. This is the second Garmin Drive 61 I have purchased, because we like it so much. The first one got stolen! So someone else must like it too!

    The Garmin has saved us more times than I care to admit. We use the Garmin on all of our long trips as well as the ones around town.

    Purchased the latest Garmin so I could use it and my phone at the same time while traveling for work. The newer Garmin is much better than the ones from years ago. I haven't setup to sync to my phone to get real time traffic yet but will be doing so (this is the best feature on the phone GPS and hope it's as good on the Garmin).

    Very happy with this. I got a new job and I travel around the city. I never get nervous about where I am because I know my Garmin will get me safely to my destination. Sometimes it takes me the long way, but I go my shortcuts that I know and the device adjusts. Anyone traveling in a strange area needs one of these.

    I found this unit very easy to use and love the 6 inch screen! There are 2 reasons I did not give 5 stars. first it takes a very long time to charge on your computer. second it does not come with an AC adapter, which you can purchase from Garmin or elsewhere but Garmin should have supplied.

    Thanks to best buy for giving America the best. I had a smoother drive from TX to NJ And back to TX. The Garmin Real Directions, built-in speaker, junction view, parking assistance, speed limit warning, wireless backup camera support is perfect and life saving. I recomend every long distance traveller to get one today.

    So far I have enjoyed the use of my new Garmin when I visit my son or go any where that is new to me. It is a little more confusing when it comes to setting it up for a trip, but I’m getting use to that. I mainly upgraded to have Lifetime Maps. I have always had good luck with Garmin products.

    I travelled a lot with my job and was issued a Garmin. I loved it so much I bought one of my own. It is easy to use and makes travel so much easier and safer. I even bought one for my parents who are intimidated by technology and use the Garmin with ease and confidence. I would definitely recommend this product,
