A great companion for long trips 

Many sat navs on the market are quite inaccurate, often leading you to places where you do not really want to be. With the Garmin DriveLuxe 51s and its unique Real Directions feature, this can never happen to you. It guides you using recognisable landmarks, buildings, and traffic lights in addition to spoken street names. That means that instead of the usual vague "In 200 metres, turn left", you will get more precise instructions such as "Turn left at the church". You will also greatly appreciate the lane assist or junction preview features as well as speed limit warnings. The device comes with an inbuilt RDS-TMC Traffic Information Receiver, which searches for live traffic alerts and points out any possible complications on the road. If necessary, the sat nav will offer a faster route to avoid any problems ahead.

Points of interest

In addition to its own preinstalled database of points of interest, such as petrol stations, restaurants, hotels, rest areas, and more, the device also uses information from Foursquare. That means details of millions of shops, restaurants, hotels, and other businesses are at your fingertips. To top it all off, the device gives you access to the database of TripAdvisor, enabling you to view ratings and reviews added by its millions of users all around the world.

The latest traffic information

The device can be easily synced with your phone using Bluetooth. When you link the sat nav with the Garmin Smartphone Link app for Android and iOS, you will get even more accurate and more credible traffic alerts. These are displayed right on the sat nav's screen. You can be alerted to any delay on the route, or you can even search for a destination on your phone and send it to the sat nav wirelessly, making your user experience smoother than ever before. To make you safer while driving, the Garmin DriveLuxe 51s delivers the Smart Notification feature. It displays any incoming calls, messages, or other notifications from your smartphone straight on the sat nav's display. Hence, your phone can remain stowed away while you are remain up-to-date.
