    Got me from point A to point B, no problem. The map seems up to date straight out of the box. I was told by a Best Buy employee that the GPS will compensate for traffic and try to avoid traffic if connected to your phone via bluetooth. I had to sit in standstill traffic for 30 minutes and the GPS's time never reflected that would happen nor did it try any alternative routes. So for that, I deduced 1 star.

    I was using the GPS on my cell phone before I made the purchase. It is very easy to use. The phone app is a big plus and works great.

    This Garmin is easy to use as they all are. I would recommend getting a case or something to keep it protected when it's not being used.

    The GPS itself works great but the only thing that I don't like is the traffic system App you have to use your smart phone or a compatible device. to download application I get traffic updates/ weather.. I haven't got a chance to use the red light/speed camera It's not available in my area I live... it's a good GPS that was the only downside

      Thanks for your feedback. Vehicle power cables with built-in traffic receivers are available for purchase as optional accessories for your device, should you prefer or need to use this method over the default traffic solution. The GTM 36™ and GTM 60™ cables are compatible with the DriveSmart™ 61 and for folks that have a previous Garmin GPS that came bundled with either of these cables, they will also work. Thanks, James Garmin

    Has worked very well. I would have given it a 5 star but if you don't enter a house number, it won't let you enter a street. So in a newer area, if it's not updated quite often it can be a little frustrating. In all, exactly what I would expect from a long-time Garmin user.

    The surface is very glossy and shiny,which is not alot of fun on very bright days or when people have their lights on full behind you.Aside from that I just cope by adjusting the angle of the device and that helps, thought I have to admit that's annoying.The traffic liveupdate works okay, and is the main, reason I bought it
