Wherever you’re heading, the giant 6.95-inch capacitive touchscreen, which has a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels and an edge-to-edge display, will relay all the directions you need with the minimum of fuss and eye strain.īuilt-in WiFi paves the way for live traffic alerts, and map and software updates to be delivered straight to the device, while you’ll also be made aware of upcoming turns, toll roads and changes in speed limits. The maps of the United States, Canada and Mexico that come preloaded in the Garmin DriveSmart 61 LMT-S can be updated for free, and there’s space for a microSD card onto which maps other countries can be loaded should you need navigation assistance elsewhere.

Some look after you too, suggesting a break if you've been on the road too long. The larger touchscreen is a big appeal initially as you can see clearly the directions being given – ideal if you like the audio guidance turned off.
