Does anyone have any experience of these please? What's the difference between the model MT- S and MT- D? Any issues ?Going by lists of features, there are several different models at all different prices, but with all the same features!! Very confusing!

What is the difference between Garmin Mt D and Mt S?


The key difference between the two models, the Digital version (Garmin DriveAssist 51LMT-D) uses digital inputs for both directions and traffic alerts, whereas the Satellite version (Garmin DriveAssist 51LMT-S) comes with a traditional satellite feed for both directions and traffic alerts.18 Oct 2017

Coincidentally I’ve just been researching this. My understanding is that the “D” has a traffic alerts antenna built into the power cable feed whereas the “S” gets the information from a Bluetooth connected mobile phone.

Sorry, I'm not very tech savvy. What does that mean? Do you have to pay for a connection via satellite?

Get the D version for digital updates as a stand alone, or if you pair it to your phone every time get the cheaper S version.

Ah. Is one system preferable to the other? I have no experience as yet?
