This DriveSmart 61MT-D EU Sat Nav from Garmin features a 6.95" touchscreen display, pre-loaded maps of the UK, Ireland and 45 European countries that come with a lifetime of updates, plus live parking information, and Bluetooth for hands-free calling. Boasting features to help you drive more efficiently and safely, such as driving directions that use noticeable landmarks, buildings and traffic lights as well as street names, and built-in Wi-Fi for easy map and software updates, this high-quality sat nav gives you everything you need for your best drive.

Live services for your drive - outsmart traffic jams with time-saving alternate routes, or with live information, spend less time looking for a parking space, get live on-street parking information, up-to-date weather forecasts and more. As you near your destination, take the stress out of parking by viewing pricing and availability trends for on-street public parking. The Smartphone Link app also enables LiveTrack2, which lets drivers share their location so friends can track your whereabouts whether you are running errands around town or taking a long road trip.

Putting the smart in smart connectivity - when your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone is synced to the sat nav, you get great features that let you stay connected without taking your hands off the wheel. Make hands-free phone calls and receive customisable smart notifications on your navigator’s display. That means you can see incoming calls, text messages and calendar reminders without ever having to reach for your phone.

Voice-activated navigation - need directions? Just say the word. Garmin DriveSmart features voice-activated navigation that responds to your commands and then navigates to where you need to go.

Wi-Fi keeps you up to date - built-in Wi-Fi makes it easy to keep your maps and software up to date; when a new update is available and you’re on your wireless home network, you’ll automatically receive an onscreen notification. That’s your cue to plug your device into any outlet and let it update over Wi-Fi while it charges. Then you’ll be ready to hit the road again.

Know your surroundings - to encourage safer driving and increase situational awareness, Garmin DriveSmart provides driver alerts for sharp curves, speed changes, railway crossings and animal crossings. Additionally, the navigator will warn you when driving the wrong way on a one-way street and alert you to nearby schools and school zones. Receive notifications for nearby red light cameras and speed cameras, and even get fatigue warnings that suggest potential rest areas after several hours of driving.

Friendly guidance from Garmin Real Directions - redefine “spoken turn-by-turn” directions with Garmin Real Directions. Our easy-to-understand driving directions use recognisable landmarks, buildings and traffic lights in addition to spoken street names, guiding you as if your best friend is sitting in the passenger seat. No more squinting to read distant street signs. Just listen for Garmin Real Directions to tell you, “Turn left after the Petrol Station,” or “Turn right after the red building.” Following directions has never been easier.

High-quality maps - the quality of map data can make all the difference between finding your destination and getting lost. High-quality Here map data enables your Garmin device to provide you with the information you need, when you need it most - reducing the frustrations of driving by avoiding delays and cutting down the time you spend in your car.

the presenter had to say over and over to get the speech recognition to work
 
Expert: "maybe our eyesight isn't that good and you can't see a smaller screen, so this would be perfect"

Mmmmmmmm, I'd suggest if your eyesight is that bad that you can't see your satnav screen, that you shouldn't be in control of a car!!

And yeah, quite embarassing how she had to keep repeating herself to get the voice recognition to work, and that is in a quiet studio, and not in a car with kids or the radio on etc.
