User questions & answers

Question:	Will this navigator allow me to choose my own route prior to leaving or does it only provide the "fastest" route
Answer:	When you enter in a destination you will have an option to choose from 3 different calculated routes. If you are wanting to create a custom route to go down specific roads, there is a Trip Planner feature built into the device which will allow you to insert shaping points along a road to take a specific route.
Question:	is there a 110v cord available for this unit
Answer:	All of these units have battery back up so you can never directly plug these into 110v. Any 2 amp cell phone/laptop chargers work or the provided 12v car adapter/charger. It also comes with a USB cord.
Question:	What is the expected battery life with a full charge? My neighbor says his lasts only about 35 minutes? Is this typical
Answer:	My new phone 51 has a battery life of about 5 minutes! No longer even if plugged in overnight. It sucks for anything other than using it in the car. I do have a large auxiliary battery I use with my cell, and I can plug the 51 into that for a longer live. They sell another unit with a 2 hour life but I would not trust the data they at GARMIN have. I was very disappointed at the short battery life. I intended to use it in the city when I had to walk and not burn up cell minutes.
Question:	What are the differences between garmin drive 61 lmt-s and garmin drive 60 lmt
Answer:	Garmin Drive 61 LMT-S can use the GPS without a smartphone. You have purchase a Garmin Traffic Receivers: 1. Garmin GTM 60™ HD Digital Traffic Receiver 2. Garmin GTM 36™ Traffic Receiver (North America) Garmin Drive 61 LMT-S is compatible with Garmin Traffic Receivers: GTM™ 36 (North America) and GTM 60™ HD Digital Traffic Receiver

User questions & answers

Question:	I just purchased a smartdrive 65. i already have a gtm 60 hd digital traffic receiver. is there an advantage to use it with my new
Answer:	I asked Garmin support this exact question since I have a GTM 60 and a Drivesmart 65/traffic also. The answer I got was that the built-In traffic receiver in the GPS works in more locations (some smaller cities) but that the GTM 60 will update more frequently and give a bit more detail when you are in large metropolitan areas. I am using mine with the GTM 60 and it seems to work well with the GTM 60.
Question:	For the DriveSmart 55 and 65 models, do they come with free Lifetime map updates
Answer:	The DriveSmart 55 & Traffic and the DriveSmart 65 & Traffic devices receive map updates and traffic without being charged.
Question:	Is there a monthly or yearly pay ? Like subscribtion , data or anything? Thanks
Answer:	Garmin appears to have become sneaky on this front. Their own site offers no LMT version for the DriveSmart 55. Neither do they directly mention updates for it. Elsewhere on the site, there is verbiage about PAYING for updates. No dollar amount cited. Only that one must download an app to obtain further info.
Question:	For garmindrive 55, does it have us&canda map? does it have speed camera & red light warning
Answer:	Yes, the Garmin Drive 55 includes mapping of the United States and Canada and has Red Light and Speed Camera warnings.

User questions & answers

Question:	With live traffic updates and bluetooth sync does this use your phones data
Answer:	You do not need to use your phone for live traffic as long as you use the included charger. I will say that live traffic seems faster when your are using your phones data.
Question:	Does it have planing routes
Answer:	not sure as we didn't keep it long enough to find out because it overheated while charging in my wife's car-sorry
Question:	i wonder if current owners think it’s worth spending extra $60 for the garmin gtm 60 traffic receiver? (not crazy about using my cellphone data
Answer:	Yes if your worried about using your data It is a great tool for getting you where you need to go - with great details to help you - very user friendly as well
Question:	I haven't been able to see different routing options when i put in an address. am i missing something? sometimes i want to avoid the interstate
Answer:	You can change the route you want to take compared to what the Garmin wants to send you in trip planing option. You use the browse map function and when you pull the map to the area you want to change. It is a little tedious to do this. As you have enlarge or - the map enough so you can see the area you want to adjust multiple times then move the screen to that area and zoom + in again to the point you want to change. Just touch your finger or stylus to the area you want it re route to and the map will adjust to it. Watch how it does this as it may try to take you back to the original route later down the map. I do a map to Falls Church and had to change it multiple times.
Question:	I was told this unit requires a $70 gtm 36 cable in order to get live traffic updates. is this true
Answer:	No
Question:	Does this come with a mount
Answer:	Yes, suction window mount.
Question:	Can you speak an address to the unit
Answer:	no, you cannot speak it to the unit for instruction, I really wish you could. entering an address is different from previous units, can not easily enter by: state, city, address. confusing until you get the hang of it, then just difficult... more than it has to be. otherwise gets you from A to B, most points in-between!
Question:	will i be able to register this
Answer:	Yes, I just bought one last week. I registered it, and then updated the software and maps (you don't have to update it, I just wanted the newest maps) I just used it to drive a road trip from Chicago to Atlanta and it works great.

User questions & answers

Question:	How large is the display
Answer:	This model has a 6.95" display.
Question:	Is the smart phone traffic updates more reliable than the HD Traffic cable
Answer:	I also find it very much more reliable. I have a Garmin with standard LMT and it often reports "no traffic" (problems) while I'm sitting in an 8-mile backup. This DriveSmart 61 is fast and accurate at least in the Seattle Metro area zones (as in from Olympia to Everett, WA. Because of this I'm replacing that one ( an 2699 LMT HD) with another DriveSmart 61.
Question:	what is the release date
Answer:	Shows all model's release dates: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/42240
Question:	Does this unit come with the traffic cable in the box or does it need to be purchased separately
Answer:	Old question I know but felt it might be needed to clarify, this GPS can work with the app or the GPS cable. The difference in the two is accuracy and range, the app will get a larger more accurate view of traffic by looking at vehicles with a Garmin GPS inside than comparing these vehicles speed to the speed limit of the road. The cable works by radio a special band that is used to inform others of heavy traffic it can work pretty well but is reliant on the radio stations it can pick up (about 20-30 miles) and how accurate these reporting are (some rarely use this while others will but never remove the notice after it's been cleared). The app offers for features and gives you a larger look of traffic around you even hours away and in some chases re-route you early on so you can avoid heavy traffic if possible but this requires mobile data to use. The cable is less reliable and it's usefulness depends heavily on how well the town you are in/near reports this information and also poor range (a reported delay of 30 mins is no good (re-routing) if it takes you 10 mins of being in bumper to bumper traffic to come close enough in range to see the alert, this isn't frequent but can happen when going thru large cities (Kansas City, Saint Louis, Memphis, Atlanta) etc you get the point.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this gps provide hands free calling with a windows phone? my phone has bluetooth, but no app in the windows store
Answer:	I think so but I'm not sure. The manual does not state any limit on a "smartphone" operating system for the speakerphone feature to work. I doubt that a special app is needed in the phone for it to link via Bluetooth. I know when I link my Android phone to various Bluetooth devices (I do not link it to my Garmin DriveSmart 61), no app is needed. Best regards, Doug
Question:	Will this work without a smart phone
Answer:	Yes. You just won't have all the advertised features but the basic navigation/maps will work perfectly fine.
Question:	Does this gps give voice turn by turn direction and continuous reroute
Answer:	Yes, Just like every other Garmin.
Question:	What is the internal storage capacity, and what is the size of the average update? I don't want to keep buying SD cards
Answer:	The internal memory on this device is 16 GB. An SD card would not be needed at this time due to the space on the device. If you choose to install a card, this device can use a maximum card size of 64 GB. Thanks, James

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the screen size
Answer:	Instructions are enclosed however, ensure they are on the same channel, press and hold talk button while speaking. Release button to hear response.
Question:	Will this also work off the main land such as in Hawaii
Answer:	I would think so.I was in the woods about 4 miles from my cousin and I could hear him fine with trees and hills in between.
Question:	can you speak the address that you want to go instead of typing it
Answer:	The best way to find out if walkie talkies can detect and communicate with each other is to go to the owners manual available on line. Look at the frequency ranges each walkie talkie can access. If both models can access the same frequencies, they should be able to talk to each other. Range and power may differ so one model might transmit 15 miles, say, and the other only 3 miles. That information is also available i the manuals.
Question:	does map include Hawaii
Answer:	Yes, I actually have not used the headsets at all. Just like regular walkie talkies without them.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with the garmin bean bag style dash mount
