  • Digital Traffic information is delivered straight to your DriveAssist, out-of-the-box, and covers motorways, “A” roads, and minor roads – everywhere you need it with updates every 60 seconds. Digital Traffic is voice-activated and gives details on the situation, minutes of delay, and possible detours.

Verdict

If you want a dedicated sat navigator that doesn’t rely on your phone, the Drive Assist 51 is an excellent choice. Its broad feature set, ease of use, and simple docking mean it’s great for those less tech-savvy.
