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.

OK for the most part
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The interface is pretty quick, and the voice command is fairly decent at recognizing places if you speak clearly enough without other distracting noises (however, it can pick up on everything else you say, so pause a minute after giving your command). I would prefer it would tell me that it's recalculating rather than just doing it. I also note that it can be a little slow at telling you where exactly to turn. It also isn't the most accurate: I have given it some places, but it takes me to the wrong address or it takes me on roads that don't exist (mostly rural areas). Otherwise, it looks really sharp and does what it's supposed to do. The voice command feature is very helpful.

It gives fast and accurate info, directions.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been very pleased with the results from my Garman. The ability to change the volume control hands free has been a very good asset for me.This is my third Garman and I will never use another product. I have since bought my son the exact same model.

good gps
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this gps after researching and reading many reviews, I've always had Garmin and seem to be the best. This one has an almost 7in screen and the overall dimension of the body is that of a 6in unit. The screen resolution is much better than previous models and more responsive. The only problem that I find with the unit is that it is an LMT model, but does not include a traffic receiver as did previous models. You must use a smart phone with a Garmin app to receive live traffic info, or purchase a traffic receiver at additional cost. Other than that, I'm pleased with it.

Garmin
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My other Garmin got thrown away in the move. So I needed one for my business trip. I ended up getting the 6" instead of the 5 " and I like it better since I am not young anymore. Worked great in Canada and cannot wait to try it in other countries.

Good but not great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do like the free lifetime map updates I don't like that it does not have a long battery life and in fact you have to essentially keep it plugged in too your car charger.

Voice Commands and Lane Views
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands free operation with "Voice Commands" really makes using this GPS convenient. Has helpful lane illustration. Background noise can decrease the accuracy of what the GPS interprets. Radio at low volume does not typically cause interference.

Really Good GPS
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good GPS. My husband travels a lot for work. He likes the voice command feature on it and also, I enjoy it telling me what the lanes will look like when I am exiting off the highway. It helps a lot. Only problem we have had was when the suction cup that holds it to the windshield broke and we had to get a replacement. Thankfully we had purchased the warranty so replacing it wasn't a pain.

Fantastic!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the age of smart phones why have a dedicated GPS? The answer is simple, cross country trips will result in dead zones. I went on a long vacation and this was an essential piece of tech, I love the added features, that tell me my current speed, up and coming traffic alerts, map specifics like red light photo alerts for traffic lights, maps for life, etc... I enjoyed the big screen, as its bigger than my phone. I recommend the friction mount with this device, works well, doesn't require any modification to your vehicle.

Its a large GPS and it works well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Large 7" (almost) Screen easy to see day /night. Has the ability to connect Garmin's reverse camera ( i dont have this yet) only 4/5 stars due to the software change. It no longer has the Stop route button on the screen, its now in one of the menus. but over all a good product.
