OK GPS, but incomplete
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a long time user of Garmin GPS units so this review is based on a lot of familiarity with them. The 61-LMT unit itself is OK in most respects. It's a Garmin with all the expected features, big display, and relatively speedy. It has a degree of voice control and can use Wi-Fi to do updates without a computer. I have two main issues with it for which got it 3 stars. First, the T designation is really misleading. The unit can use or display traffic information, but doesn't come with a way to get it. You can get traffic information by linking with a smart phone (which more or less defeats the purpose of getting a stand alone GPS - if I wanted to use a smart phone I can just use Google Maps), or you need to get an external Garmin traffic receiver. I have an external traffic receiver from an older Nuvi that I am using with it, but you'd think for the price tag of this GPS Garmin could have included one. It's sort of like getting a new car with three tires and the emergency spare installed. You can drive it, but it's limited. The second is the address search. The one used in the 61-LMT is a step backward. There doesn't appear to be a way to easily enter partial addresses or intersections. My 8 year old bare bones Nuvi is far easier to use and apparently smarter in this area. Hopefully, an update fixes this.
