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.

    This is my 4th Garmin. I had to get this one just because of the huge screen. I attach it to my windshield and it's very easy to see. Also, it's great because it's easy to switch between our 2 cars.

    A Good Buy

    This device does what it's supposed to do, though it's not quite as intuitive as I'd like, being an old guy. For example, I found the icons of banks, service stations, and eating places distracting (at best) and rather annoying. Getting them to disappear from from the default view took some trial an error. My "Home" destination takes me a bit out of the way, and I can't seem to change the route except temporarily (I go the shorter route anyway.) Recalculating when choosing another route than the one defaulted is amazingly quick. The maps are sharp and colorful; options are generally easy to access; the tools are plentiful. Other reviews pointed out shortcomings that certainly don't affect my usage, as I don't have to be concerned with traffic, cameras, or other accessories.

    My wife has had a garmin for the last ten years. Great quality. I am able to use voice command for it to make phone calls and do all sorts of things. My wife likes mine so much, she is thinking of getting one for herself

    Bought this to replace one that was 7 years old and showing it's slowness. This is a six inch screen, bright, and fast. Very easy to read, has blue tooth phone, voice recognition, and seems to work great. It's very bright and easily readable.

    I’ve been using this GPS for about a month now and I have been very impressed with its quality. Screen looks great and the bigger screen gives you a better view of the map. Voice control needs some updates but as a GPS it performs very well.

    Gave this as a gift to my bf parents so they can use on their trip to Mexico. They had no problems at all. GPS was easy to use and program. Reliable and highly accurate which is great because they are an elderly couple traveling.

    This is a really nice GPS. It has a large screen that is easy to read and the voice is clear. I bought this particular GPS for it's size of screen and that it could receive the image from my backup camera. Both images are very clear.

    Great GPS for starters or experienced users. I fall somewhere in between. I picked it up quickly and very easily. Simple to use and accurate. I had to use it on an extended trip right after buying it and it didn't disappoint me in the least.

    This unit has a large, easy to read display. It has a plethora of options, many more than I need. The two features that I use the most are "Voice Command" which I find a bit tricky at times and the blue tooth hook phone.

    Brought this to use on a vacation trip. I liked all the features of the unit and the screen is big and bright. Would have been nice to have a manual with the unit to help explain all the things the unit had to offer. I had to learn by trail and error and when you are going down the road at 65 plus MPH that is not the time to be try to get the unit do what you would like. The major problem I had with it was the unit rebooted several time a day at the most inopportune time. I finally took it back to get a new unit. I have not had the new unit on long enough to see if it has the same problem.

    Needed a new GPS without having to use my phone for data. We do not use live traffic, mainly using it for directional purposes. Not a perfect device, but the Garmin fits our needs. Nice size screen.
