Customer Ratings & Reviews

This GPS is worth every dollar I bought it to take on my vacation to Florida rented a car I used this gps every day for 12 days I had other models but this one is perfect the no hands commands wow!!!! Driving giving instructions to the gps at times it will find the wrong name when you say a search but it’s cool signals always strong drove to Orlando from west palm beach perfect then to Miami and back to west palm I’m back on NYC now and use it daily love the red light and speed camera alerts sweet get one for yourself

Used my gps and my iPhone for traffic updates and work well together

I wasn't sure if an add-on system would really meet my needs, but it did! I got it after having a tiny mishap while backing out of my tight garage space with a wall on one side and posts behind me. The view and navigation lines are very clear, and I can now easily pull out without the back and forth and the worry. Great product and installation at Best Buy -at a great price! Also, it is one of the few systems with a dimming rear view mirror. On one occasion, when the sun was glaring from behind, the picture seemed foggy, but moving the angle of my rear view mirror fixed it. I then just readjusted the mirror when going forward. This is a worthwhile safety device that everyone without one should consider.

This is my third Garmin GPS over the past years and by far the best. Nice to have wifi ability to update maps. Large bright screen and very easy to operate and "voice command" works very well. Great GPS.

Awesome gps useful for reduced speed limits. Great for school zones

Had the unit a little over a month now. With the HD cable (extra purchase) the traffic updates are pretty accurate, and update quickly. The screen is great, its like a smartphone screen. Responds well.

Purchased this unit for my wife as her vehicle doe not have GPS. While my GMC Denali does, I still prefer using this unit rather than my OEM GPS. Has so many useful features that most OEN units do not.

Husband loves it, purchased for husband to replace a 10 yr old gps, that rarely worked. what a difference, large bold screen, easy to see, read and reliable, don’t travel without it.

This is actually a replacement for the DriveSmart 51 LMT that I had, and simply died, could not turn on whatsoever when it decided to take a permanent dirt nap. I returned to Best Buy and it was still under the manufacturer's warranty I "upgraded" to the DriveSmart 61 LMT. So far, so good. I might note that I live in Alabama, so the hot and humid South, and I keep the GPS mounted on the windshield all the time. Does this exposure to heat cause premature GPS death? This is the second Garmin GPS to die on me, the first being several years ago while I was on business in Yuma, AZ, where the temperature would be 110 before noon in the summer months. But, manufacturers should know people will keep these devices mounted on their windshields or on their dashboards so exposure to high temperatures should not be a problem.

We have an older Garmin, but my Dad wanted a larger screen, I love the larger screen, the notifications when the speed limit is going to change, and the little sound when coming to a school zone.

I travel everyday for work and this GPS always gets me to my destinations without any issues. Love the screen size and all features that come with. Highly recommend for all travelers !!

No instructions as to how to download road maps for other counties

I bought this for my daughter. What is nice about is that it gives a preview of the intersection where turning or exiting so that she goes the correct direction.

This Garmin Navi drive smart 61 is so nice that I got it twice. Once for my wife and once for myself. Great WiFi and updates. Smart link to your phone for traffic updates. Great job Garmin!

This newest generation Garmin has a large screen, crisp picture, live traffic updates and shows pic-in-pic shots of exit ramps. This is a great feature since we travel around the country.

A good beginning GPS unit. Wish the dash suction cup is included.

This GPS unit is far superior to my previous unit. However, I wish that it were a little easier to get the unit to accept the idea of an alternative route. Lifetime updates to maps and software are a plus. I would recommend this GPS.

Love this product, we took it on a 1200 mile trip almost immediately. It was unimaginably more pleasant to have this device mounted to my windshield than to rely on the map apps on cell phones.

I upgrade from the nuvi 2689 to the drive smart 61 and it works great. It conetcs to my gaming watch and it gives me notifications from my phone right on my screen. Very happy with this product

Replaced my Magellan which was several years old. Much easier to see with the larger screen and the updated maps are pretty accurate. Still learning all the tricks but VERY pleased.
