Navigationsgerät oder App? Kommt auch auf den Nutzer an! Entscheidend für die Wahl des Navis ist, welcher Typ Autofahrer es nutzt. Vielfahrer haben andere Ansprüche als Gelegenheitsnutzer, Generation Smartphone hat eine andere Einstellung zu Apps als viele ältere Autofahrer. Wie groß soll das Display sein, damit die Karte gut zu sehen ist?...

Eigentlich sind Navigationsgeräte nicht mehr wirklich nötig, denn die meisten Menschen haben entweder ein Smartphone oder sogar schon ein Gerät im Auto verbaut.

Der fast 7 Zoll große Bildschirm und das moderne Design machen das Garmin Drive Smart 61 zum Hingucker. In der wichtigen Navi-Disziplin leistet es sich keine Schwächen, Alternativrouten wären allerdings wünschenswert. Vor allem die Extras wie der Freisprecher oder die SMS-Vorlesefunktion machen Spaß. Und: Es kostet weniger als 300 Euro.
