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.

Best One So Far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had about 5 or 6 different Garmins for the past 11 years. This one is great The screen is like a cell phone screen, so it reacts to the touch and the screen is large. Good thing, because it sometimes is frustrating as heck when it does not understand the address you are saying, or sometimes will not respond to your command (but those happen rarely). I have 2 of these and i would recommend them at the going rate of under $200

The GPS is good. Has some issues.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1. When connected via Bluetooth to a Cell phone, there are times when the cell phone gets busy and apparently momentarily disconnects. The GPS responds to the with a full screen splash screen with a big OK button in the middle. This blocks the view of the screen for something that would not impact the GPS function at all. This would be better implemented if a small Bluetooth icon in a corner of the screen was to light up or become crossed out. Reminds me of an old DOS program. 2. There are times when no traffic window covers 1/3 of the screen realestate to say no traffic ahead. Just close the window and open it if there is traffic. 3. Voice commands could use some additional features. If you chose traffic by voice, it comes up… but no way to turn it off. Generally if you can activate something by voice, it would be nice to be able to deactivate. Also, some screens offer a little x in the corner to tap …. not really appropriate for a car. I do enjoy the size of the screen and it does a good job navigating. Its interface to the cell phone needs some work. I would like to have it display any messages on the screen, but the periodic disconnect splash screen make that impractical and would have rather not have paid for that feature since it really can’t be used. If the issues were addressed then it would definitely be worth the price. As is, a little overpriced.

back up camera.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for the backup camera function, and that works pretty good. The features of this GPS are so much more than the first one I had in 06. The speech recognition works! It connects to my phone for current traffic. I input a business I was heading to for a tryout. It was wrong! The business moved 2 Year’s ago. I’ll just keep using my phone for directions. It’s up to date.

The Best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best GPS Device I have ever owned. I use a GPS everyday in my job, and I do mean use it, heavily. This is such a great GPS unit. I get traffic, weather, and Bluetooth in the same unit. I like being able to check the radar to outrun storms. I take calls on it and it reads my text messages and speaks my calendar events. I sync it with my phone with the handy Garmin App. This is truly a Best Buy.

Great portable GPS for inside vehicle
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter recently purchased a used vehicle without built in GPS. Her phone is older with a very small screen. This GPS unit has a nice large screen and was easy to mount. It has dependable Garmin accuracy. She has used it to travel up and down the state on both freeways and small roads. She loves it. I loved that Best Buy did price matching and we saved almost $100.

Excellent Device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's easy to use. It provides helpful visual and verbal cues as you approach your exits. It was able to find obscure places that other GPS systems (including Google) struggled with. It successfully navigated me through Atlanta's "Spaghetti Junction", even though I had never been to the place that I was trying to go. I have high praise for the device. Additionally, it has free updates.

And...go!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new Garmin we purchased has a larger display screen and easy to read directions. It is compatible with the existing equipment we had previously purchased. The trip details follow a more direct route rather than using back county roads. This is especially appreciated now during the winter months when road conditions are icy and snow-covered.
