The product is OK and can get you to places. I had two before, it broke easily. Also, it is slow picking up signals.

Having a GPS is great but having a GPS that comes with an extremely short cable and an inadequate battery life is annoying. Had to buy a new cord that would reach the window. Some default settings are annoying but are easily changed. Overall this is a good GPS once settings and cable are changed.

At first I was not really sure about it but now it’s definitely the best I have had of any brand and I’ve had them all over the years. I’m really glad I didn’t give up on it. I think the Bluetooth for phones could be a little better which is the only reason i am not giving it 5 stars.
Other than that I love all the functions and reliability.

Garmin very easy to operate, seems to "learn" when I decide to change my route. Keeps all previous addresses in memory, easy to access.

Great GPS but Camera is Lacking

Overall this is a great GPS with excellent features. However, since I bought it for the camera, I was disappointed when I went to mount it in my car. On my previous Garmin GPS with camera, the camera was offset to the driver side allowing the use of the dash mount. However, on this unit the camera has been moved to the centerline of the unit so that the dash mount coming up from the bottom blocks the camera. You can ONLY use the suction cup mount coming down from above. And my long term experience with the suction cup is that it loses suction no matter what I try to do allowing the GPS to fall to the dash or floor or dangle from the power cord if it is looped over the mirror as mine is. I love GARMIN but they blew it on the design of this unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Sorry for the confusion. the DriveAssist™ 51 LMT-S includes a reversible mount that allows for different mounting options, including the dash mount.

All over it is good....sorta sad that Garmin switched to having to have an app on ur smartphone to beable to use the traffic feature....or else buy an additional $75 compatible cord. It works and is quick...but it also looks like like the maps displayed are less detailed than my previous 1597 model. But overall functions work well and good!

Use this device on a trip recently and it was very easy to use. The lane direction and road sign feature is very helpful.
