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.

    I drive a delivery route and love this unit. Easy to use, nice size screen and so far so good, no problems navigating. Could use a spot on the screen for the current time.

    Nice GPS. Out of the box required updating firmware and maps, no issues connecting to map updates. Used it twice for trips within a week of purchase with no problems. Reroutes were quick if required by construction or detours. Connects easily with Bluetooth to my android phone. Would buy again.

    Good graphics, and sound. Easy set up, except for unwieldy bluetooth connection. Still haven't managed to get that going. I can hardly wait for traffic condition alerts to kick in. Unfortunately, I bought @Santana row store. hard to find GPS's and help when then there's tons of TV's etc stacked in front for black friday/Thanksgiving sale

    Great Large Screen

    This replaces an older Garmin. I also own a Nuvi 3590. The large screen is great. Voice commands are a plus, easy to ask for a place, category, suggestions, and saved places. Pop-up screen on the right that shows a picture of the exit, what lane to be in. The garmin also tells you what to do, e.g.; take the next right and then veer left...that is great because you know what lane to be in! My only complaint is that I wished I knew of a different model that has the traffic signals built into the power cord. My Nuvi 3590 has that. In this Smart 61, you have to have your cell phone on and paired up to receive the traffic notifications.

    Having to replace an old out of date GPS I checked the features and this one had just what I wanted with life time maps. So far it has exceeded my expectations. I am glad I bought this one.

    I purchased this for my Jeep, which did not come with a GPS. I have used it a couple of times and it seems accurate. The sound is loud enough for a Jeep and the display is good.

    Large Screen with good voice commands, helps when you can't figure out if you need to take the higher or lower lane. But does loose connection or or direction time to time. but I still would recommended it to a friend.

    Large size is a plus. Like traffic and weather features, but am having trouble consistently getting my iPhone to pair with device automatically. Need this device for hands free phone, so it’s getting frustrating!!! Cannot recommend until these issues get resolved.
