You need to turn up the brightness and change it to more detail for better views. I wish Garmin would allow the driver to regulate when it tells you to get in the right lane or turn notifications. It seems you are almost on top of the destination when it tells you to turn. I would like a little more lead time.

Thanks for the review. I bought a new one for a business travel trip when I was in Ohio. You are correct it should have told you to turn right. I also don't like when you miss a turn it does not say recalculating. I missed a lot of turns while going from the hotel to the work site. That would have been a plus for me. I know when the yellow line shows you are off course, but I would have liked to hear the "recalculating" I had to pull over a few times to reset the address from scatch from the lcoation I was at.

The only draw back I see with the Garmin is that it does not give a sound effect for an upcoming turn. Sometimes I find myself missing the turn. The Magellan on the other hand, will provide a sound effect to let you know that the turn is coming up. I used to own a Magellan and this was one of the benefits that I do not see in a Garmin. I wish Garmin could consider putting this in their GPS.

ChickenSquabble this model is awesome. I bought it for the dash cam and gps use while driving rentals for work. My Cruze has navigation and this navigation is so good I have found I use it instead of the built in navigation because it does better and gets free updates.
While my state does not require the gps to be on the left, I do prefer it on the left. I put mine in upper corner as I feel it blocks less of my driving view and it gets it above the glare angle from the side window. His big con is solely do to his placement and lack of adjusting the tilt and swivel of the unit, most will have this issue with such placement!

To be honest, I have a Garmin Nuvi and a TomTom. The TomTom`s algorithm for navigation and its traffic data are better, as is the map presentation which is much easier to understand on difficult junctions. The good thing about Garmin is that the Nuvi has an open system, this way I can import another safety camera database as POI,s. The TomTom uses their own, which is not so good. Sorry all you Garmin lovers, but I have to tell it as it is. Idropped

While the comment of the cause of glare is correct, so is the comment that he stated his state law requires it to be on the left. Now all that said, he does have some placement options to help with the glare.

I did end up buying this same model of GPS, however, mine never recalculates the route. I can drive to the location and it re-sets, as if I've just turned it on with no route entered. The same thing happens if I drive past the programmed address or if I drive through a location, such as when I've put in a general area, eg. a beach location. If I turn off the engine, the GPS automatically turns off, after fifteen seconds. When I turn it back on, it has forgotten the address that was programmed into it and acts as if I've turned it on for the first time. Do you happen to know if there's a way to change that? I'm going to ask Garmin too. Understandably, the people in the shop assumed it would automatically re-calculated, too. Cheers, for any help you can give.

I'm in the US, mines recalculates when the route when I go off the route. The GPS needs to to be able to receive the satellite signal before it can recalculate. If it loses it's satellite, it will may lose it's route. Yes, the GPS will power off if power is turned off.

No. You have to get a Zumo, or find an older Nuvi 765 to send bluetooth (I have both, and they work with my Senas). Garmin does NOT want you to be able to buy a single unit that will do everything.

Sounds like the battery is loose or no longer holding a charge so when the power connected gets loose it has issues.

You could but the battery life is not going to last - maybe an hour or two tops. The other issue is the size as it is not portable or intended to be used as a hand held unit.

Help! I just got to testing out my Garmin 51 gps its brand new. I turned on the gps at home to find that it was low in battery so i charged it through my laptop. 1 hour went by, i saw the battery the SAME as how it was before i charged it. The screen also never went past "GARMIN" image with the icon on the screen while turned on. I figured the gps only works when it is plugged into the car? So today i tested it plugged into the car while the car was on - Yes it worked. Downside, while customizing & getting to know my gps, my car's battery was wasting away as i was trying to get to know my gps 👎🏼 Out of paranoia, i turned off my car fearing i would exhaust the battery, when i did that, my gps also was in the process of closing down giving me a warning "low battery". 😕🤔 I dont get how all the reviewers got to use this gps at home while i cant work mines unless its plugged into the car? Why is this? Also, my gps wont reach the main menu all because of "low battery" so it shuts down when its not plugged into the car 💔👎🏼 Do i just have a malfunctioned Garmin 51 thats brand new?

There's another a plug you can purchase to plug to A/C power if you want to use it at home to play with it. It takes a long time to charge fully when I got mines I recall.

netman88 Thank You! Just wondering, how long does your gps battery last while it's on but not plugged into the car charger? Mines runs out of juice half an hour or less if the screen brightness is at 100 without being plugged into the car.

Garmin in a nutshell: "Do you want to use a GPS that tells you to drive off a cliff from a road that doesn't exist anymore???? Then get our basic model!" "Do you want to use a GPS that actually has updated that prevents you from driving into a cliff?? Then get our LMT model which is double the price!"

No--you don't have to put it on the left side in California. You can put it in the BOTTOM 5 square inches on the left side or the BOTTOM 7 square inches on the right side. You measure up from the dashboard. The windows are terribly slanted and this is a PITA. But where this guy has it interferes with road vision and is illegal. The penalty ranges from just a warning up to I think $100 if you keep getting pulled over for it. Still, this 2018 law is better than the previous California law which was you couldn't put it on the windshield at all, just on the dashboard.

If you are a trucker keep in mind that this unit is for cars. It will not show restricted routes nor will it show low bridges or low weigh limit bridges. So it might send you down a parkway where trucks are not allowed. Get a trucker-specific unit. Garmin makes them for trucks as well as RVs.
