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.

    Bought this unit for my trip into Northern Canada. It worked perfectly and was extremely accurate through the entire trip. It does have a little bit of a learning curve to be able to use all of the features that it has, but they work great once you can figure them out. I really like the clarity of the larger sized touch screen.

    I like the size of the display on this GPS. It is bright and very easy to read even with polarized sunglasses on. The thing I don't like about this GPS is that you have to download an app to your phone and then link the two so it will display real time traffic updates. My Nuvi 2557 did this without having to download anything and it seemed to be real time. I wish the DriveSmart had this feature.

    This is the best GPS I have ever seen. The device tells you when to turn by road name or route number, and even tells you to turn exactly by the upcoming traffic light. You can call your wife over the GPS also which is a big plus for me since I don't have to take my eyes off the road to dial. I don't know how they do it, but it's like magic!

    Bought the unit and setting up was no issue. Unit works great and the different functions are fun. Connections to smartphone was easy and works well with smartphone. The only down side I have experienced so far is the battery life. It is a bit disappointing. Wish the life on the units was a longer or the ability to swap out a battery. Still like the units!

    I bought this because of the large screen and what a difference it makes. You can see the screen from a farther distance without straining your eyes. The voice command helps keep your hands on the steering wheel and voice recognition is superior. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the voice command screen comes up sporadically while you have conversations with other passengers.

    I often make 10 stops or so in each town with my work, and it is fantastic to have this nice big screen mounted just off to the left of my front windshield view. Some wonder why I just don't use my cell, but it is great to have this mounted solid and be able to look mostly straight ahead to get my route done fast and safely.

    I previously owned a Magellan that I received as a 20 year service reward from my employer. It worked fine but updating the software was difficult and I had to pay for map updates. I had purchased a Garmin for my (directionally challenged) girlfriend, and even SHE could figure it out, PLUS the map updates are free!
