This product is great for truck drivers however, a road map as a backup is recommended.

The screen size is very nice. It can be seen from both driver and passenger seats. It’s much easier and safer to see while you are driving.

Great screen, good volume, easy to follow.
I used this GPS for a trip up the coast and had to use in conjunction with Google Maps as the traffic alerts were not working well.

Garmin DriveSmart 61 is enough size to read & understand what a direction is. Also, don’t have to worry about Speed Ticket anymore.

While no GPS is perfect, this Garmin does a nice job. Like all GPS devices, occasionally it comes up with a bad route so it is prudent to always keep that in mind. What I like most about this unit is that it gives you good information about what you need to do at the next event. For example, it my tell you to turn left at the light after the Papa John's or it may say to be in the 2nd form left lane. In the later case it would be where you most likely will be going to the right after the left. All-in-all, this is a wonderful unit.

This Garmin GPS is a good product. We like the display and size. The only issue we found is that the touch screen can be too sensitive at times and jump to another section.

Easy to use, Color good, size is excellent, I found d a CD slot mount that puts it just about over the spot for the factory gps.
