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.

Large, responsive high-res screen
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this GPS as a gift. High-res screen and the GPS is smart enough to tell you what particular lane to stay in. Unfortunately, I cannot speak for the smart phone features since I have not tested them out.

Love the big screen!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took me a while to become accustomed to the feel of the new Garmin. It is much more sensitive to touch than my older model and it also offers a number of improvements! You have to enter exact information regarding locations, etc. It was an adventure the first time I used it!! I should have taken the time to read the instructions before assuming it would be much like my previous model---not!! Big screen is awesome--I don't hang it on the windshield, so no problem. Overall a really nice GPS!

GPS that worked
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Large screen was easy to see. The wireless/network update feature was easy to set up and use. Used on a 2000 mile trip to Colorado and back without any issues. When we changed routes, the system caught on to our plan and quickly redrew the new route. Most new vehicles have a decent built in GPS but my truck needed some help and we got it with the Drive Smart 61 LMT.

Great Upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have definitely become a Garmin fan. This is an upgrade to a much larger screen from my older GPS and it comes with a lot of very useful features. It now warns you of school zones, curves, and railroad crossings. I also like the ability to give it instructions verbally when typing them in is not convenient. It also fits on my existing beanbag device making it easy to move from car to car or to take along on a trip and use in a rental car. Well worth the price!

Best unit yet!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very impressed with this GPS unit. I started seriously using it on New Year's eve when Google maps stopped working on my cell phone with my Lyft app. Luckily the GPS stepped up and worked great. The Smartlink cell phone link works well taking phone calls and the traffic function is okay, but I splurged on the expensive traffic cable and that works even better. The traffic and stop light camera early detection is also pretty awesome.

Large print and maps for me to see easily
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My vision is good but the maps directions are large so that I am not distracted trying to make sure I am navigating properly. This Garmin has made no errors so far. I know traffic issues promptly and estimated arrival times are accurate even during usual heavy traffic periods. The suction cup for the windshield holds firmly. I luv this one the most!i have had Garmins since they first available, especially when Working Home Health Nursing before retiring in 2007>

A Good Purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this gps for my Granddaughter in college. Very impressed with its features, much like the gps and bluetooth on my car. A nice big 6.9 inch screen for easy viewing, and split screen navigation with directions and map. Great settings options, easy to set up and use. Can bluetooth it to a phone and receive calls, it has a speaker. I'm not a fan of text messages during driving, but it does receive text messages. Expensive, but it was on sale, and I think it is worth the price.

Ease of use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. Directions are super easy. No problems finding our way around. Love the way it tells us to turn at the next corner or next light. Never missed a turn. Directions and graphics are the best.

Easy to view and use.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this Garmin along with the blue tooth backup camera. They work well together. The camera was fairly easy to install and display is up when put in reverse. The Bluetooth phone works well also.

Nice Features but Needs Improvement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speech recognition and address accuracy needs improvement. Also, when I am finished leaving a message with the Bluetooth phone app it asks me to press a number ie. to end the call, but no keyboard is available. Veeeeery irritating.

Real Estate
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product . Its been a few years since I purchased the last one. The one problem I have is Narrowing down the search, by state or County. Once I put in a destination that is narrowed down to the state the second input reverts back to a wide spectrum of states. So with a common street name as Elm or Main, it takes a while to upload my correct destination. The screen, sound is great and gets me to the correct pinpoint destination.
