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.

    Overall the GPS worked great for me when I recently moved from Florida to Kansas. The time of arrival, maps, posted speed limits and exit amenities available were pretty accurate.

    I bought this item for my wife who was making a business trip to Washington state. She got back and raved about how good this item was and was able to do voice commands. Awesome.

    GPS is great but had problems setting up . Had to sit in car with engine running . USB cable does not charge unit . I got email stating that I could call Best Buy for appointment for Geek to set up unit and show me how to use it . ( I thought (GREAT) buy called Best Buy only to find out that the GEEK would cost $35.00 for !/2 hour .( very disappointed ) I am still having some problems saving routes .

    Garmin continues to improve their product line. The screen size and resolution is impressive, as well as the ability to apply updates via the unit's wireless connection capability. The display is easy to read and the voice commands easy to understand. It's easy to set up a destination from an address you provide or a destination you choose from the menu system. An easy to use, very intuitive interface. Glad I purchased this product!

    this device is very intuitive. I think it's actually better than many in-dash devices installed into new cars at the factory.

    We love the size of the screen and how fast it is to boot up and respond to commands. There are a lot of options for the visual on the screen. We would definitely do it again.

    I travel alot for work so i picked this gps for the size or the screen and clearity. So far it seems as long as you update your software on gps roads are accurate. But if you have this gps connected to your phone and allow msg to pop up on it. You will get caught cheating if your main chick is sitting in the car with you. My hands never been so fast from removing a electronic device from his charger.

    An upgrade from an older 4" Garmin, the display is excellent, the screen is sensitive with the now-expected pinch-to-zoom. The larger display is great for my tired old eyes, and being able to use all my custom POIs is great. I have Android auto in my car and have used Google Maps and Waze, but still wanted a newer Garmin to handle the majority of nav functions without always using data from my phone.

    This Garmin is multiple times better than previous model I have. The screen is exceptionally clear and easy to read. And being almost 7” it is easy to read from a distance.

    This is a replacement for a Tom Tom that I used for the past 11 years. Loved my previous unit, but really don't miss it at all. This Garmin has a great screen. Eight size and fantastic quality. Like the windscreen mount that is included. Volume is good. Have not tried the Bluetooth phone connection as yet, but it seems to be a good feature, especially since I use it mostly with rental cars when I travel.
