    I am still getting oriented to this GPS. Compared with my previous GPS (different brand), this Garmin is not as user-friendly. Also, i think there are features i wanted that are not available. For example, i like to be able to look ahead at the entire route rather than just getting the directions from street to street. As i said, i am still getting oriented to this product, so maybe i will find that this and other features are available.

    Overall very satisfied. I think it should come with paper users manual rather than stored on device. I also think the device doesn't give instructions on how to delete saved favorites.

    We recently purchased this before going on a trip to LA. This was a excellent purchase. I like that it tell you gas stations and restaurants. I would not wanted to make the trip with our old gps.

    I own an older model Garmin that I use quite often and thought it time to update with the 61 LM. Best Buy had a Christmas sale on the unit making it an even better time for the purchase. The unit has a larger screen then my previous model and the touch screen is more responsive to my touch. My old version was sometimes a nuisance with the screen sensitivity. I also appreciated the route editing that my current unit does not have.

    The gps works well; however, updating the software and maps the 1st time takes considerable time. I had call Garmin to help out since the gps was not accepting the software update.

    I researched units for a few weeks after deciding on this one. Got a great deal on it. I just wish it had the ability to do live traffic either through Bluetooth or some other way

    Have used the Garmin once and it performed beautifully EXCEPT the "curve ahead" alert stuck and remained on the screen for the rest of the trip. We tried to reset when we returned home but the Garmin help line was not real helpful. The only way to see if it's fixed is to wait until next use. It's a relatively minor issue, but it is an issue.

      Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about the alert getting stuck on the screen. I would suggest confirming that the software and mapping on the GPS are current. The easiest way is to download the Garmin Express program at Garmin.com/express. This Garmin Support Center FAQ will also help:

      Install Garmin Express

    The product is awesome. The only issue is that it brought me to a different location when I entered an address. However, the product is great, and would recommend to anyone.

    Very versatile navigation suite with easy handling and a lot of additional features. If you're able to handle a smart phone, you're ready to go. Compared to navigation suites offered on mobile phones, this devices capabilities are superior, especially when it comes to locating your position. Apart from that it is sometimes quite useful when you can navigate and use your phone simultaniously (using appropriate hands-free devices - it's our law)!
