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.

    This GPS is actually better than the factory installed one in my 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. I love the value of free lifetime map and traffic updates. Great price.

    I am satisfied with the Garmin Drive Smart 61Lmt-S. The voice command feature is great however it needs to be tweaked to recognize what the operator is saying ( can be extremely aggravating sometimes will not recognize words or gives you something that you did not ask for.) The Bluetooth speaker is lacking clarity as well it will do in a pinch if you don't bring your headset for hands-free calling. Make sure you read the Garmin policies on updates. I think Garmin is being a little stingy on this if you don't update on a regular basis you lose the option. Come on Garmin it doesn't say that on the box. The box says lifetime update it should be lifetime updates regardless of when you update it. I use the unit everyday and so far it's much better than my older Garmin.

    The main reason that I purchased this unit was for the large display. Very easy to see when GPS is place far up on the dash. There are also a ton of other "bells & whistles" that I don't use.

    I had a TomTom gps system prior to this one. Garmin has officially sold me. This gps has feautures like split screen and reroutes in seconds. It’s very up to date and the screen size is perfect so you can easily view. The built in blue tooth is a plus, it’s compatible in any car I’ve taken it into. Very happy with my purchase

    I love this Garmin GPS! The larger screen makes it so easy to see & it is a very clear picture. Also loads quickly. I won't ever go back to a smaller screen.

    Just plugged into the car and it works right away, so easy to use, more accurate that any system I have seen. You can calibrate the scale you want. very up to date info, warns you of speed limit changes so you can slow down, very good graphics especially of complex interchanges and ramps.

    I am happy I can update the maps and software via Wi-Fi. Updating with my old Nuvi on a computer was a hassle .Lifetime maps is a major bonus.It saves a lot of time.The bluetooth feature pairs with my iphone 6 plus. I can still hear the gps even during a phone call.The SD card is not included in the box. There is not a case for the GPS device in the box but easily found one elsewhere.

    I have had several Garmins through the years. It was time to get another one for my work van. i use it through out the day and is nearly flawless in finding addresses, even to oddball ones that don't make sense. I recommend getting lifetime maps, and the thing I really like about this is the HUGE display, nearly 7". I also like how easy they are to use.
