Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had many systems before but the big screen and added features make this a top notch device.

Bought this to replace a tom tom. This is so much better! Seems to be more accurate. Finds locations in the desert way better than tom tom.

I had a Garmin previous to this one. I must admit, for me it is overkill with all the features it has. The traffic feature was not as easy as my last. My older version came with the traffic in the power cable, no need use my cell phones data. Other than that it is great. Much easier to find retail type places.

Ok. I have used many different GPS units. Some on vehicle integrated, some other brands... and by far Garmin is the way to go. One thing I love about stand-alone devices is that you're not using all that data to use the GPS from your phone. The screen on this device is massive... and love all the information I can get on the screen.

Love the big screen and ease of usaege. The directions are great.

While traveling our old GPS died. All we could see was a black screen with the route as a purple line. We were able to get to our destination. First thing we did was to head to Best Buy to purchase a new GPS. Saw the Garmin Smart Drive 61. Loved the size of the unit and the options of different map screens. We did not hesitate to make the purchase.

Love the screen size and easy to follow directions. Wish we had bought it long time ago.

We are on the road a lot for work and pleasure and decided to upgrade. This version of Garmin gives us more information and is much easier to read. You can even set it up to find where your car is parked. I like everything about it and am really glad we have it.

I love my new Garmin. I've used a Tom Tom for years but Garmin had better reviews. I switched over when I was couldn't find my doctor's office. Admittedly, the Tom Tom was an older model. I love the size of the new Garmin screen and all it's features. I did buy the traffic cord also.

It is easy to use, great screen, awesome features.

Really like the size and clarity. After having it a little over a year, though, it seems to occasionally lose voice recognition capabilities. Usually a reboot takes care of it. Also, the new Garmin maps don't seem to know which roads are unpaved... this is a bit of a problem for those of us in rural areas!!!

I bought this Garmin for the large screen and have found it very easy to read. Haven't had it long enough to learn/try all the features, and may never use sine of them. Nevertheless, it's giod to kniw they are there if I need them. Voice Activation is a little touchy, anf "she" has spoken up se eral times when MI thought the device was off, but those are minor.

The easiest gps to use and update maps are easy to do to

This GPS is excellent. Large size, clear face, easy to use

Works good, only complaint is it doesn't come with a manual. Just make sure to adjust the sleep time setting otherwise it shuts off on its own after a few minutes.

I like the big screen, the clearness, and the easy settings.

The imagery and data are excellent. Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Very satisfied with the product. Would definitely recommend.

So very easy to use. Works great. Very clear picture.

The Garmin DriveSmart 61 is a great value purchase for my car. Its 7 inch display is bright and easy to read, day or night. The audio is clear and easy to understand. The audio and visual prompts are timely and very helpful. Updates are easy and efficient with the Garmin Express App. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

i like the bigger screen. easy to read as you are driving
