ok so...1st review! hope it helps! This Garmin (61 LMT) finally came to my local BB and was up there before they even opened the doors to get my hands on it!! (just from the pics alone! and BB web site said less than 3 in stock)
I previously owned the Garmin Nuvi for about 2 years (wife uses it now and loves it) and then the Garmin 60 LMT But exchanged the 60 for the 61 (only had it for 8 days.. come on, gotta have the new one!?) anyway, as usual easy transaction and great customer service! Ok so the screen is big! and beautiful! easy to read and follow the directions ...voice and route guidance Typing addresses and using all the setting's is very easy! (like all there products) So is using device during travel stop route / change route / route traveling / traffic updates / looking for just an Intersection!? ect... many options!
So far the only 2 differences I personally have noticed between the 60 and 61 is that the 61 comes with WIFI to connect to your personal WIFI and you can do all your system and map updates if you don't wanna plug directly into your computer for everything. And obviously the screen, not as much as a "border" around the device as you can see, Which I love! Again the 2 things I've noticed so far! only had a few hours
Bluetooth works great Phone calls / voicemal / texts / email / Etc ..EVERY notification you get on your phone will go right to device. But can be changed in the settings (within the GPS) to which notifications YOU prefer.
All in All GREAT product(s) Can do A-Z! then Z-A Too much to list! Very user friendly and a must have for GPS users you won't be disappointed! Keep up the GREAT work Garmin!:)
ohh and I am a truck driver so I really know these products! I use them at least 8-14 hrs a day 5-6 days a week anddd then in my personal vehicle when not working!
