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 very user friendly, touch control is very accurate and reacts quickly. voice command is a little miss especially with my slightly noisy 2002 jeep grand Cherokee (road noise on a stock jeep). I have had it glitch on me where it kept acting like I was constantly poking the screen, it would constantly reposition the map and zoom in and out like it was possessed. I unplugged it and left it unplugged for a few hours and it seems to be fine since. all in all a great product.

    Nice big screen, traffic connect thru smart phone, which interferes then with phone-car voice over, can work with it, but annoying, does have lots of storage for saved addresses. Has built in states when searching for address, annoying if address is not one of those states. If these items can be changed it's not user friendly enough to figure it out. Can mute the direction speaker which is nice. Overall more pluses than minuses.

    Incredible Display/Great Voice Recognition

    This product has come a long way from previous iterations. We have one of the first voice-recognition Garmins, and it was poor. The voice recognition was a joke, and this time Garmin learned from Google and got it right. This new device hasn't missed once. And the edge-to-edge display is splendid. My only complaint -- all those tiny bells for every animal crossing and RR crossing get really old quickly. Can't wait to disable those. Otherwise, thumbs up on this!

    This is the Best GPS I've ever used. It does everything I need and then some.The free lifetime maps upgrade is a big plus also.This GPS is easy to use, has a very sharp screen with vivid colors, and the display's size is perfect. Not too big, not too small. I Love this thing and highly recommend it.

    Either I got a poor model, or this battery doesn't last. Maybe it lasts 1.30 hours. You have to hit an initial menu, to get the sub menu, to hit "x" to cancel route. The previous Garmin I had, it had an "x" on the main map viewing screen. You have but an addiontal cord to get traffic updates or use your phones' data. That's stupid. My previous Garmin came with the cord. Other than that, its awesome.

    We purchased this GPS for going on trips in a large SUV we have that doesn't have Navigation. I have used Garmin products over the years and always had good luck. This GPS is no different. It was very easy to set up and use. A lot of navigation systems in cars today are not that accurate, especially if the car is more than 3 years old. This GPS was extremely accurate especially considering we were up in the mountains of Tennessee where there were very small roads and this unit had them identified. There are also many other features that assist when on the road such as locating gas stations, hotels and restaurants. The unit wasn't cheap, but you always get what you pay for.

    The screen is large with a crystal clear display. Accurate and easy to use. Garmin continues to blow factory installed GPS systems out of the water for a fraction of the cost. Only disappointment I have with this unit is that you have to un-pair Bluetooth connected phone and re-connect each time you shut off the power.

    I've owned a Garmin Nuvi before, but without free lifetime maps and traffic updates. I thought I'd go ahead and invest in a new and more current GPS, and all that the Garmin DriveSmart 61 LMT-S 6.95" GPS has to offer is the reason I went with it. The screen and maps are much larger and easy to read, it tells you the speed limit on roads and highways, the volume is good, points of interest are there and easy to get to, as well as many other things. I can't speak for all the options this GPS gives you since I've only used it once, but so far I love the GPS more than my old Nuvi and just knowing I don't have to pay to update maps and traffic is a huge money saver. It will pay for the GPS easily, and you don't even have to plug it into a computer to update them. As long as you're within Wi-Fi range of your computer you can do it from your vehicle if you want! So far I'm happy with my purchase!
