Customers are saying

Customers find value in the DriveSmart 61 LMT-S's large screen size, ease of use, and accurate GPS navigation, frequently praising its voice command functionality and free lifetime map updates. However, some users express concerns regarding the device's limited battery life and the effectiveness of its traffic features. The navigation system, while generally well-received, has received some criticism for occasionally suggesting less-than-optimal routes. Overall, the positive feedback on key features outweighs the negative comments.

    It does everything I want. The only negative is it has so many options that it takes a while to learn where to find them.

    I work nights as a cop and if you are new to an area especially at night it helps to have a reliable map to get you to your call.

    We love our new Garmin. We didn't realized the the traffic wasn't automatically fed. You have to use your phone or buy a special cord.
