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 bought this to replace a older model Garmin GPS. There wasn't really wrong with the previous unit, I wanted a larger display and sharper graphic characteristics. I actually prefer Garmin GPS's over many factory built-in devices because I can position the unit were I want it and I can reposition the screen to minimize sun reflection and change the angle for night driving. The quality of the these Garmin products is outstanding.

    We like the larger screen. We got it to use in our Motorhome and it is easier to see from farther away. It was on sale so it was a good buy for us. We have only taken two trips so we are still learning what all it will do. The speedometer on our Motorhome quit working and the GPS shows the speed…much cheaper than getting the speedometer fixed:)

    I've been using this unit every day in my work truck for several months now and overall it's a good gps. I bought this to replace a older garmin that had a outdated map that I did not want to pay to upgrade so I just bought a new one. Pros. Great screen. Very large and easy to see. Navigation paths are for the most part good. Bluetooth options are great. Cons Speech recognition is horrible. Missing the path feature from my old garmin. Sometimes address with common street names take forever to load.

    This makes a trip across the state or the country easier and safer. The newer and larger screen makes it easier to follow the instructions. Having the compass and vehicle speed up on the dash makes it easy to focus on the road. The ability to hook up to the computer to keeps it updated make trip less frustrating.

    Was clear on the voice part giving plenty of advance notice of when to get into lanes also had directional arrows as to what your next turn would be or what side of the freeway you would be getting on or off. Baby’s you the whole way through. This has a nice big screen and if your prone to getting lost works great. I would get Best Buy to show you how to put in the address of where you want to go after you download maps

    Opened the box to see if all the parts were there. They were. Haven't installed yet to see how it works. I have owned Garmin in the past and they all worked well. We will find out after Xmas.

    Worth Buying!

    I have a generation older version of this GPS, and wondered if the cost was worth it for an incremental upgrade. It is! Specifically the unit is quicker in terms of giving turn recommendations, and the voice recognition is much improved - although still not quite at the "Siri" level. I work in the Middle East, and the ME maps work great with it (I purchased the ME maps about 1 year ago). The larger screen is much appreciated, in particular with my older eyes.

    Good Navigation device

    It is a good navigation device. The only comment I can make it the built - in traffic information. First, I wish the traffic cable was included. I had to pay almost $60 to get the cable. Second, traffic information has not been very clear as in smart phones yet. Maybe as I use it, I will get used to it. Directions are very clear. Voice command works fine most of the time. When reading long state names like Pennsylvania the voice sound unclear at the end.

    This worked fine, I had to go to Oklahoma for training. The only problem I had was when I was coming home and the closed my exit for construction, it never told me like my other GPS told me, but it did get me back on track.
