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.

Love the near 7" GPS to mount on my car dashboard. No need to meddle with the unreliable phone GPS. Outstanding display and touchscreen. Lot of features, Bluetooth and WiFi. Downside is if you want add red light and speed camera app, you have to pay yearly subscription.

Minimal user information came with the the gps. Did download the user guide and it is easy to follow. The screen iis very ledgable and easy to read. I do have questions that are unanswered tho - I have been unable to find how to charge the unit in the house which I need to be able to download the updates. Every time I plug in to anything it says it cannot be charged with this cord, but that is the only cord that came with the unit besides the one that plugs into the car lighter.
Also don't know if I can leave the unit in the car in hot weather or freezing weather.

I really like the bigger screen on this gps. I owned a garmin before and loved it. I like that you can get traffic, still have to get accessories for it.

Absolutely love this new Garmin, it has a big screen to see better while driving, the touch screen is always a plus feature. Voice command is must have, great for driving through cities, asking for gas stations, restaurants ext. so many more features just can’t even remember them all.

Voice command is great. Simple to use functionality that allows you to even speak an address or POI during transit. The recommended breaks is a nice feature I didn't realize would be useful, but absolutely was!
Only con is that I felt it does not always select the fastest route when compared to another mapping device, i.e. Google or Apple maps.

This was a birthday/Father's Day gift and the recipient was really appreciative. It has been working great and he is enjoying it a lot. It was easy to set up and the ability to make hands-free phone calls with the BlueTooth capability is was one of the best selling point for this device. This makes driving safer all around.

GPS & Backup Camera Update to my 2008 Auto

The Garmin DriveSmart GPS & camera provided the ideal solution to my need to add a backup camera to my 2008 Saturn VUE. The large 6.95" screen provides an excellent view behind as I backup. In addition, I now get full-time maps and navigation via the large GPS screen plus hands-free smartphone compatibility without having to replace my existing AM/FM/Satellite radio. This saved me several hundred dollars!
I updated the software and maps the first time using the computer app, Garmin Express, since the entire North America map is so big it takes several hours to update the first time. (The slower WiFi connection would have taken many hours this first time.)
I couldn't be happier with my choice. I just added 13 years worth of newer technology to my car for under $500!!! Thanks, Garmin and BestBuy.

Screen is nice a big, easy to read and bright. Love the fact I can update the maps for as long as I have it without having to pay anything more. At exits with multiple lanes, it shows you which one you have to be in to be on the correct road. I could go on and on about this GPS. I haven't found anything I don't like.

Loved it. My old GPS died due to malware when updating. Bought this one, which also included Canada. It served well while I was travelling through Ontario, Canada. It even converted the miles to kilometers, which is used in Canada. Large screen makes viewing easier while driving. I'm glad I bought it.
