This is my third Garmin and no problem with any of them (daughter, wife, and mine). No reason to buy another brand. I just needed one with a bigger screen and this one fits the bill.

- The battery life is really bad. It dies in few mins in spite of muting the device. Basically this device has to be always plugged into the power socket or else it switches off. - Maps doesn't show most of the addresses/landmarks - Just started using the GPS about 1 week ago & have very low confidence if this would last long and less reliable too !

I also have the 61 LMT-S which has a much larger screen. The 51 replaced an old TomTom XL. The only issue with both Garmins is the battery is only good for about 1 minute. The TomTom's battery will last 1-2 hrs, even with an old battery. Both 51 & 61 screens are sharp & clear & the touch is responsive.

The Garmin Drive 51 LM GPS Navigator with Driver Alerts - USA works great, except it just does NOT have voice command. Every address has to be found manually. If you are looking for a specific restaurant, or grocery store, you can't just say the name - you must hit category and then search by scrolling for what you want. We will continue to use our old GPS in our new car as it has voice command. We'll use this in our other vehicle. In the description - it should state that there is no voice command.

This Garmin, Drive 55, is more responsive and seems to navigate better than my Garmin Nuvi 55. However, it regularly goes to a Garmin Express screen when plugged into the car charger instead of navigating. Hopefully, Garmin can provide a resolution. Otherwise I will have to recommend against this produce.
