Costumer review about Garmin Drive 51LMT-S 5-inch Sat Nav with Lifetime Map Updates for UK, Ireland and Western Europe and Free Live Traffic
This has its quirks, but it's miles better than the last TomTom I owned which was slow to find satellites, the firmware was dreadful and the update software frustrating as hell.With the Garmin Drive 51LMT-S the firmware is snappy and responsive and the updating seems to work fine, if a little slow to tell you what's going on sometimes.I bought this for a European road trip, and the fact you get free UK and European map updates for life (where the TomTom kept telling me my maps were 49 months out of date) was a definite plus. The pronunciation of German street and town names was sometimes hilarious, but on the whole it worked very well.Sometimes the routing is a bit weird. On a local route I know well it often wants to take me down a narrow, winding country lane just to cut a short corner off a bypass. And of course it makes similar routing errors when I'm going somewhere I don't know.The Traffic Alert is a function I like - at least I know if I'm going to be late for a meeting and can also make a decision on whether to take an alternative route, so I use that function a lot.Overall I'm pleased with the device, the price seems fair. I just hope a future update might fix some of the slightly bizarre routing decisions.Read more
