This new Garmin "Drive 61LMT-S 6.1" was to replace my faulty Nuvi 2460 GPS so comparing the new with the old these are my comments. Pros.... > It is far better when it comes to directions on the road than my previous 2460. > The larger 6.1" screen is easier to read. > Good value for money. Cons.... > The touch screen is prone to show finger marks. > Quite difficult to remove and re fit the GPS to and from the supplied dashboard bracket. > The power cable plugs into the back of the GPS and not into the mounting bracket like my previous 2460. > I am using the optional Garmin power cable with the traffic receiver fitted, but unfortunately after weeks of driving through dense inner city and bumper to bumper traffic, Ive yet to receive or hear any traffic reports even though I have been in heavy traffic snarls often. > Shame there is no mobile phone bluetooth in this model. Overall its a good GPS for the money and works well apart from the traffic reports. Read full review

This is a very stripped down model, although it has lots of impressive menu options a lot of them are not functional in this model. It also seems to have lost some functionality from the trip planning and trip recording functions compared to my previous 10 year old unit. As a basic GPS it works perfectly fine with a nice large screen and the address / location and speed warning functions seem to work totally fine. I purchased it to give me an accurate speedometer as my Land Rover speedometer would be described as a 'rough guide only device' and the GPS was cheaper than getting it repaired, in that use it's perfect with no lag on the speed indication and stable reading.

Beware of this reduced function product - the Garmin Drive 61. It did not have the voice and phone features I wanted. You need to order the Garmin Drive Smart 61 to get these features.

I've had a number of different branded GPS's in my time but always seem to come back to the Garmin. Simply put Garmin is the market leader in this tech. I've owned Navman & Tom Tom (because they were cheaper) but buying the Garmin was like coming back home! Superior to the others in just about every regard. The others have ended up in the bin!

I'm having difficulty pairing it to my phone so fast to get the live updates. Otherwise works well.
