Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought the Garmin DriveAssist™ 51 LMT-S. I gave this a low rating for 1 HUGE reason. The listing and Garmin tell you that this has traffic, red light and other capabilities. But they dont include the receiver/power cord you need to get the data. So now you have to buy the special cable with the receiver to get those functions, but wait..........they still wont work, in some areas you have to pay to get the traffic data and the red light data. That is kind of like selling you a radio and then after you buy it they tell you that you have to buy an antenna and then you have to pay to recieve the radio stations. Even sirrius tells you that you have to subscribe to get the music. I was VERY unhappy. Other than that it is a nice unit, it has a much better glass screen on it that is more sensitive then the old plastic type screens that you had to really push down hard on. The display is clear. You can add a back up camera, which i did, which ironically comes with the power cord/reciever that you needed in the first place-just plain dumb, give the receiver cable with the garmin. One of the main reasons i bought this was to have the latest and greatest garmin and so that i could pair it with the back up camera. I dont really feel like much has improved on these units over the last 10 years. This one has a dash camera, but i dont really care about that. I wanted the red light camera and real time traffic - but i have to pay for those, what a scam. You can go to the garmin site and verify this information. Below is a cut and paste from the very very small print at the bottom of the page "7Red light and speed camera warnings are not available in all regions." If you read the manual here is the information about the traffic data, this is from page 17 "Traffic data is not available in all areas" and "a regional traffic data subscription is included with MOST traffic recievers. You can add subscriptions for additional regions"
