Great GPS. With all the crazy drivers out there, I wanted a dash cam. This has both a GPS and dash cam in one. The screen is crisp and very clear. It was easy to set up. Connecting the device to the mounting initially took a bit but once we figured it out, it is easy to get on and off. Voice commands are easy in traffic. Camera view when arriving at destination is very helpful in trying to find a house number. When we take a different road than the route shown, it recalculates quickly WITHOUT the voice repeating "RECALCULATING" over and over - nice. Lane assist is updated and show not only generic which lanes to be in but also shows you as your diving what the various lanes do - 1 goes right as another ends, etc. Lane departure assist and forward collision warning can be a little touchy, but it's not too distracting. Like the notifications there is a school ahead, animal crossing, curve, or railroad crossing. Only wish was that it would show both arrive time and distance remaining on the screen at one time. You can choose which appears and can touch the screen to see other info at a glance. We were used to this with our previous Garmins. We've used in on several trips and will definitely keep this one

This is a wonderful item! Voice Command, camera, & video. Easy to use, too!

This gps is easy to set up its dash cam recording features are great for making sure you have a video during accidents

This gps was easy to set up the dash cam is good for recording while driving always helps to have a video in an accident

It's great because it's easy to use. The camera is a very smart addition. In case of an accident, it keeps a recording of the incident and when connected to your smartphone, it will send a text message to let your contact know that you've been in an accident. The camera also gives lane departure warnings. It even lets you know when cars are a little too close. The navigation is easy to use and understand.

I have had two other units but this one is the best yet easy to operate , especially with the voice command. More accurate than past models. Great indsheid mount.

Great functionality and ease of use along with blue tooth capability

Easy to set up, camera feature is great to have, Bluetooth enabled. Bought 2 more for my friends sons they are new drivers.

After much online research and reviews, I concur that they Garman DriverAssist 51 is the best bang for your $$. Dash Cam quality is great! Easy to use GPS and the Life Time Maps is a plus!

Easy setup, all the features it advertises are there. Took about 2 hours to update all software/firmware over wifi (I have a good signal in my garage.). Have not viewed a recorded video yet. Lane drift, proximity and "Go ahead" warnings all work. Paired with BT quickly, but that is not a feature I use. Does not come with a manual, but it is easy to get one online at Garmin for a detailed description of all features.

This product was easy for my college student to set up and easy to use. This works way better than her iphone because it shows the road ahead and also doesn't cut out if she gets a phone call. I no longer worry she will be lost!

Very user friendly for my father in law. He is able to use it without issue

We used this GPS for. 2,600 mile round trip and were very pleased. It operated flawlessly, was easy to use and read. The camera was comforting knowing that if we were involved in an incident we would have video evidence of what occurred.

Great GPS...i always go with Garmin and always been happy with their product....it gets me where i need to go and seems to be good overall so far......quick, detailed, easy to use, lots of helpful features!

I like the Garmin unit so far it's easy to use. I like the voice command feature makes it very easy to program and search for things. Price point was very good compared to other brands and types that I looked at.

I love Garmin. Great maps and easy to use. The Camera built into this GPS is awesome as well as the driver Assist software.

I really enjoy using the Garmin for the ease of use and they do have pretty good maps. But the speech recognition is absolutely terrible, I can't tell you how many times I've tried to get an address put in and there's absolutely no way it can understand. It's very frustrating. Also when you're typing in an address you can't start with the zip code you have to start with just the address and then it looks at everything that is around that area that you're in. So for instance if you want to try to put in the area ahead of time it's very difficult to get it to understand where you were looking at. For instance if I wanted to look up an address in Pennsylvania right now and it's like to 55 Main Street it would start looking around my home area and all of the main streets all the way up to where I can actually want to search. The other annoying thing is you can get some place one way and you just want to turn around and go back the way you came , well it will chart an entirely new route. That is so frustrating.

Great Garmin product. The best in navigation. GPS is easy to use. Maps are easy to update and download.

Easy to use. Has a camera which records over and over. Great in case of accidents. Highly recommend.

Got this for my older vehicle that does not have many of these features. simple interface and ease of updates makes this one of the best Garmin products yet. i love how i can get live views of the highways cams on it. a must here in Virginia.
