Take a journey with this Garmin DriveSmart 61 GPS. It has a 6.95-inch edge-to-edge display that displays even more info, and it clearly shows how fast you're driving and what time you're likely to get to your destination. Powerful traffic updates ensure you can avoid congestion with this Garmin DriveSmart 61 GPS.

Traveling east coast US and Canada for 7-8 months yearly for last 7 years I owed all GPS. Last one Garmin Nuvi 3597 LM which was top of the line model.
First thing I like to warn people, there is two options for live traffic. First that come with GPS is conect your phone and from there you can access traffic. This may be great option for some folks. But if you prefer conect your phone to BT device as I do a lot my Bose BT you are out of luck unless you buy additional cable that cost 100$ extra. So to enjoy this GPS you will need spend 100$ Or if you already have Garmin cable as i do from Nuvi 3597 you can use it.
BUT if you decide to do that will be worth the money. This GPS is much much better in any aspect comparing to my Nuvi 3597.
Screen is gorgeous, POI is much improved and most importantly traffic update is just amazing I took trip to DC with GPS and can't complain about anything.... I don't use voice command as you can notice English is my second language. On the end build is cheaper than my 3597 and miss conection from 3597 much better in my opinion. With 61 LMT is plastic very cheap.
But screen and ability to browse through map, POI, Live Traffic that work great are enough for me to keep this GPS.
I didn't go through every detail about GPS every person has diferent preferences and like and dislike about item. I know one thing when I get lost and GPS brings me to my Hotel or destination I don't care which way is went :-) All I know I am at destination..... That is why I think every GPS deserve at least 3 stars...

Can this use the LMT cord from my other garmin and get the traffic that way too or only through the smart phone link?
Yes, you can use your old Garmin cable with traffic receiver as I do right now. Previously I owed Garmin Nuvi 3597
