Features

The Garmin DriveTrack GPS is packed with advanced features that make driving much smoother and easier. A feature called Up Ahead, for example shows places and milestones along your route right on your navigation display. You don’t need to worry about a thing while cruising on a highway. This tracker is completely safe to use while driving. In fact, the DriveTrack also provides alerts to encourage safer driving and awareness of your surroundings. There are warnings for speed changes, steep curves, different zones, railroad crossings and even animal crossings. Are long drives a pain for you? Do they make you tired? The DriveTrack has a fatigue warning to fix this problem. The warning is great because it even proposes break times and potential rest areas after you’ve driven for a long while.

Th Garmin DriveTrack 70 lmt can be used to track your dog – however, that is just one of its many applications. As discussed above, it has a plethora of features which have nothing to do with your dog, but rather with safer driving, being more aware of your surroundings and so on.

If you are looking at the Garmin DriveTrack, you are most probably someone with a sporting dog that you use for hunting and retrieving.

If you follow along in a truck when your dogs are hunting, the Garmin DriveTrack 70 lmt, with its on-road and off-road GPS navigation, is an unparalleled choice.
