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.

Great Upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this replacing an old Garmin that was starting freeze up (ironically when it was in direct sunlight). The new one is big and bright! I can now easily to updates over wireless without having connect to a PC and download a file and then run the update- a process that could take hours.

Greatest GPS I have ever had.

Garmin - DriveSmart 61 LMT-S 6.95" GPS with Built-In Bluetooth, Lifetime Map and Traffic Updates I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't have one.

Just the GPS I have been dreaming about
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Uses the unlimited capabilities of my smart phone to make it a smart GPS. If you are reading reviews from people complaining they didn't want a GPS that needs support from your phone then they don't understand how advanced the GPS is. Best of both worlds makes sense to me, I love it.

Better than I wished for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Garmin had more features than I was expecting. It is so much better map application than Encore and Scout that came with my new car. I also like the speed limit feature and warnings that infrequently pop up. It is relatively user friendly, and easy to learn. I just got it recently.

Graphics are excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought a new car recently with many bells and whistles except a navigation system. I purchased the Garmin device to help with long trips. So far we have been very satisfied. I especially like the color of the graphics and the large screen which makes it easy to follow directions without being distracted a great deal.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my new GPS. It is so nice to be able to read & hear everything. The size is great.!

Wonderful for new drivers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my daughter for her new car as she is a first time driver and it is great! She uses it all the time and it is easy to use and doesn't take her off the beaten path or round about ways like some GPS systems do. Very easy to use as well. Took it out of the box and used it right away.

Bad Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointing. Being one of the "latest", it's a beginners GPS. The Maps are poor quality, Garmin changed the Map Provider that is much behind than the previous one. My 2018 Map for Middle East has not been updated since 2010... Some places have new tunnels (that the 2017 Map had already updated) this one doesn't. No 3D buildings... The windscreen attachment is a joke (hard to remove and difficult to install (i have to remove the GPS everytime I park my car for more than 2 days because of the heat, it's a pain). The only good thing about this one is the fact that it has a bigger screen and Internet connection... I've lost my previous GPS APP, the Engine Gauges and Diagnostics, now you have to use the phone to see the Data.

Great GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Gps. If you don’t want to use your smartphone for traffic updates then purchase the Garmin GLT 60 cable for HD traffic. Works great with an iPhone. When I park my car and my phone is disconnected from the gps my phone automatically lets me know where my car is parked.

Great GPS with excelent graphics display
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent graphic detail, and ease to operate. the builtin WiFi make it ease to update the device firmware, maps and traffic. In my case with the included accessories can only be able to charge the device in my car, it did not charge thru my computer. I had to purchased an AC wall charger for home and it worked fine. Excellent device

Great for the value and user friendly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve bought three Garmin units as gifts for family over the years. Primarily due to the easy interface, 99% accuracy to almost all destinations and the quality/customer service from Garmin is top notch. Basically, I trust Garmin GPS units as my guide in unfamiliar areas.

Very nice GPS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice large screen, easy to read, a lot of different functions, phone feature works great via Bluetooth connected to my Samsung S7. The only thing I'm not completely sold on is their style of ball mount. Move the GPS a little too far and it falls out off the mount. Also BB doesn't have a replacement/spare mount yet.

Garmin is the best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the gps to help out in driving around at my job. It was the best move for me. Even the new roads that were listed yet,it showed the area that I had traveled on. With the lifetime traffic and map updates., you can't go wrong with this Garmin purchase.
