Garmin Drive 61 LM GPS Navigator with Driver Alerts
It doesn’t matter if you’re planning a road trip, a hiking vacation, or just travelling around the countryside, it’ll be much easier to plan your trip when you have the Garmin Drive 61 LM GPS with Driver Alerts. Owning and using a GPS doesn’t just give you road maps, they come with a variety of useful, innovative features. This Garmin GPS includes driver alerts that help increase your situational awareness. It also comes preloaded with points of interest from TripAdvisor, so you can make any pit-stops or check out any tourist attractions while on the road.
To help increase safe driving and situational awareness, the Garmin Drive 61 LM GPS provides driver alerts for common driving occurrences, such as sharp curves, changes in speed, railroad crossings, and animal crossings. Plus, the navigator will give you an alert if you’re driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street, or if you’re nearing a school or school zone. You’ll also receive notifications for red light cameras and speed cameras, and even fatigue warnings that will provide potential rest areas if you’ve been driving for several hours.
The Garmin Drive 61 LM GPS allows you to wirelessly pair it with any Garmin Connect-compatible smartwatch. Once paired, you’ll receive notifications on your watch after you’ve parked your vehicle, and are walking to your destination. You won’t have to worry if you park in a crowded parking lot at a sporting event, or on a side street a couple blocks away from your destination. Your smartwatch will provide you with compass guidance from your parking location, to your destination, and back again.
If you’re travelling through an area you’re unfamiliar with, it’s helpful to have something that points you to what you’re looking for. For this reason, the Garmin Drive 61 LM GPS utilizes TripAdvisor to show you nearby points of interest. You’ll be able to view ratings for hotels, restaurants, and other various attractions while in route to your destination. You can find new attractions thanks to the built-in Trip Planner tool, which lets you add fun and interesting stops along your road trip.
