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.

    Easy to set up and keeps me alert on the road. Now I don't get lost in areas that I am unfamiliar with. I still need to learn more of the settings but that will come. I like the wider screen and sound is of great quality. Trips can be set up. I like that it alerts you to slow down in areas. The map is very detailed. So much more! You will be happy with it!

    I love the gps and the map updates. But sadly I realized ( even after I read reviews ) that the traffic part sucks( not worth the extra money it cost). You need to use cell data and then it not very well updated.. I got this due to the tom tom I had that failed to update maps cause it age ( space) but the lifetime traffic on it was great I didn't have to worry if i had my phone or not. I do recommend that you get a carrying case when you purchase your to protect the screen from scratches.

    We have had the DriveSmart 60 for over a year now and loved it. So getting this 61 for our other car was a no-brainer. The wireless backup camera option was a perfect add-on for my Jeep.

    Bought this one to replace another Garmin I was starting to have issues with. What's nice about this one is that you can now do map updates over WiFi, without having to connect to a computer. My one dislike I guess is that map detail for things like parking lots, etc, is not there. Instead of showing you where you are (say in a mall parking lot) it just say to proceed to whatever main road it is you must be on. Driving a Charter Bus, in cities you may not be familiar with, this sometimes is aggravating.

    Exceptional unit. Bought this GPS because I could not stand the in dash unit in my Yukon. This unit is twice the GPS unit. Love the live traffic and delays update. If you don't like the GPS that came with your vehicle do yourself a favor and purchase this unit, you will not be disappointed

    I purchased this for my parents as a Christmas Gift! It is incredible! Navigation is right on point. I also love the large screen and the exit feature (shows picture of exit you need to get off) makes it so so easy! It even gives warnings for animal crossings and turns! It did take a while to download, but that's cause it had so much info to load! Would definitely recommend!
