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.

My experience was not good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This GPS I gave 2 stars because I did love the size of it but that's where it stopped. It wouldn't stay charged past 10 minutes so had to keep it connected to the lighter. It gave no warning of battery low it would just shut off(no it wasn't on screen timeout).it wouldn't turn on even after being in charger till about 15 mins. It also wouldn't give any info on traffic no matter what we did(I even added an app and it still did nothing) and so we kept ending up in tons of traffic on our way to vacation. I was so upset that my phone did better then this. Perhaps mine was bad but I didn't want another after everything.

Garmin GPS 61
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love this one. The screen is brighter and a lot bigger. It has a lot of potential that I have not even addressed as of yet. The directions are far more descriptive than my old Garmin. Would highly recommend this to all my family and friends.

Could use some improvement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are longstanding Garmin users. We love the screen size and the optics. Our problem is with Points of Interest. You either turn this setting off or you must pick 3, i.e. Restaurants, gas stations, rest areas, ATM's, etc. You cannot just pick one item to display, for example, just rest stops. We use this device in a motorhome and do not want the screen cluttered with gas stations, hotels, or restaurants, especially in a congested area.

Needed an upgrade, but not perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was in the mood for an upgrade from the nuvi 2557 which has served me well for years. Love the bigger screen. Voice command is kind of quirky and you have to enunciate very clearly for it to work. One other minor thing is the update software no longer supports putting different icons to represent your ride. If you can find them you can manually load them. I was able to copy them off the 2557 over to the new one.

Overall very good!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from an older GPS this is better in almost every way, very bright screen clear voice I’m very happy with my purchase, the only thing I wish was changed and not a major one is that the brightness switches to low when on battery with no way to increase it I would rather have the choice even if it kills battery quick

Bright useful GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second DriveSmart 61. Easy to read and the right size tro be big enough and not obtrusive at the same time. I am disappointed in the level of detail when zoomed out, They should have processors that can display far more at zoom out level of 1 and 2 miles. I've used Garmin devices for over 15 years. This is the brightest screen I've had.
