My Garmin GPS makes my job on the road a lot easier.

I had the old style Garmin for years and this one takes a lot of getting used to with all the new technology. However once you figure it out its fantastic, but the suction cup windshield holder doesn't hold well. Don't know if it's the weight or a cold windshield but had to go back and get the sand bag holder.

Easy to use, easy to program. Easy to store. Great.

Great GPS. Love the voice commands and the screen size.

I truly love this device. I use it at least two or three times a week. I would like to know how I can make certain addresses my favorites but other than that it’s great

It was hard deciding what city/terminology to use that Garmin would accept. Good thing we also had a road map & was able to select a nearby city, or whatever or we never would have gotten to where we wanted to explore around. But it's not yet up to a Google Map search - maybe one of these days?????????????

GREAT GPS, BIGGER display makes it easier to read!

Garmin DriveSmart is really great technology. No hassle getting you were you need to go very clear in understanding. Step-by-step right to where you need to be if you're looking for GPS this is the one. The sizes really nice makes it very easy to see Love it

I bought product to drive home from texas but the screen cut off while I was driving more then a few times... I like that the screen was big but the software defect didn't allow it to work properly

Great purchase. Updated and meets my needs........

This GPS is better than Tom Tom but the only thing that I don't like is The voice command feature it's a little slow and responsive to your comments as compare to the LMTS 5 you have to repeat yourself twice for the 6.95 ants GPS not so much for that LMT S 5

We have now had this product for six months and we are so very pleased with it. The large screen is so easy to read. The voice command feature is great. It took my husband and me a little while to get used to using it but it was worth the initial struggles. We love it!

I love this Garmin. Had a Tom Tom for a few weeks and had to return it. This Garmin has kept me going in the right direction for 2 years now. The size is perfect. I like to see where I am going. If I ever need another GPS unit I will go Garmin!!

Has a lot of nice features. Excellent display. Easy to see in almost any light. Programming destinations is a bit quirky; not intuitive. It would be nice to be able to keep more information displayed on the screen without having to constantly call it up. Poking the screen takes one's attention from driving

I like the unit because after a certain age we all need that little extra help in finding our way. Also I like the bluetooth so that I can talk on my phone and hear the conversation broadcast through my car speakers,

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he is just so pleased....it has so many extras he is constantly surprised and telling me did you know it did this !! He is in his car all day for his job and this has made it more pleasant for sure !

I use this every day at work and also have a couple other gramin GPS units they all have same issues doesnt alway take you on fastest route and ths particular model likes to tell me wrong direction while giving the right direction on the display.

This is my 3rd and so far best Garmin ever, The touch response is very good, and it recognizes my voice request quit well. I would recommend this to any GPS seeker although the Link to phone is not my favorite. It will definitely get you there.

I am a review reader, I make most of my purchases based on customer reviews. This product is better than advertised. The "Voice Command" capabilites are awesome. Garmin has raised the bar in the GPS market.

This is my third Garmin and I purchased this one as an upgrade to the older products. Unfortunately, I had to return this Garmin since it did not turn on all the time. After using it for a couple of weeks on a road trip, I could not get it turn on at all. When I took it back to the store, the store employee connected it to some device and was able to eventually turn it on. The screen is great and much easier to see when driving. It provides different types of notices: warning of deer/animal crossing, school zone, red light cameras, sharp curve ahead, etc. I did purchase the smaller Garmin 51 and it turns on albeit slow. I notice that if I turn the Garmin 51 off after I arrive at my destination and wait several seconds, as opposed to turning it off immediately, it turns on the next time faster. Maybe that is what I should have done with the Garmin 61, but it cost so much money to take a chance that it may or may not work. I did not have this issue with the older Garmin products and am disappointed in the newer models in terms of turning on. I gave it a low score since it did not turn on and completely shut down after two weeks of use otherwise it would have received the highest rating if it turned on.
