Can’t I just use my phone as a satnav?

Not like this you can’t. The Garmin DriveLuxe 51 packs all the best elements of Garmin’s Drive range into a sleek metal design that attaches to your dash via a powerful magnet. Features include live traffic updates, live Parkopedia parking information to save you time when you arrive at your destination, and LiveTrack, a service that shares your location data with family and friends so they know when to expect you. What’s more, preloaded TripAdvisor data displays ratings for attractions and services along your route.

Is it a pain to set up? What about taking calls?

Are you kidding? Built-in Wi-Fi makes map and software updates a doddle. And fret not, Mr Popular, as Bluetooth calling and smartphone pairing for text and app alerts means you can keep your business empire trucking when you’re on the road. The DriveLuxe even includes voiceactivated navigation for that true Knight Rider vibe.

Wow, you’re so retro Is there anything this thing can’t do?

Yeah, it can’t drive your car for you. However, forward collision and lane departure warnings will certainly make you a better driver. Plus, a built-in dash cam with audio recording ensures that any collisions are captured as evidence. It can also text a userdetermined contact with location details in the event of an accident.

Sweet. When can I get hold of this?
