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.

    With the exception of odd, round about ways to get places ( all my gps’s have done this) it works great. It is on the larger side making fitting in center console impossible

    The voice command works only when it wants to. It never seems to stay up to date with construction. The screen is very big which is nice. Love everything is nice about it besides these couple of issues.

    Great GPS, But MUST Own a Smartphone Data Plan

    I love the picture on this GPS, as the low-profile bevel lets you take advantage of the 6.9" display. The built-in WiFi also allows you to update the maps without having to connect to your computer. What I don't like though is that you HAVE to use the Garmin SmartLink app on your cell phone in order to receive traffic information. I even purchased a traffic cable from Amazon but unless you live near a major metropolitan area (think Dallas or Houston) it will not work. So make sure you have a high-limit data plan with your wireless carrier if you plan on using the traffic feature.

    Good Nav System

    Good nav system with more bells and whistles than I need (positive not a negative thing)! This is my 4th Garmin system and the only negative comment I have is this one can be a bit late on some alerts. I have noticed this on destination arrivals and avoiding / alternate routing for jammed up freeway exits. Recently I was two car lengths too far onto an exit and stopped before my GPS suggested by passing that exit and taking an alternate rout. Minor annoyance compared to the rest of the performance. After 8 to 10 years depending on Garmin to get me where I want to go it would be difficult to navigate without it. Do folks really use paper maps any more? ;-)

    I just used it for the first time on the interstate loved the functions and ease of use. It will notify you of speed limit changes and traffic alerts maps are easy to update

    I tried to use my phone, but it did not have reception in SD. The Garmin worked and found the closest gas station. I like the voice command and it lists results based on distance.

    Love the map updates and route options, clear and quick, unlike other brands which make you go in circles. Thinner design than previous models, good upgrade.

    I have not use this navigator yet, but based on the old model this is an improvement. Typing is a much lighter touch. The size is perfect.

    Very nice GPS. The colors are vibrant, and I like the bigger screen. It's not as user friendly as the last GPS that I had, but it is good. Updating is easy.

    I traded in my tomtom, the Garmin took a little getting uses to I've only used it on two trip so far,I think it'll do, I though it was a little pricey for my liking and I'm not happy about having to pay exert for another power cord to get the full features the GPS has to offer,it seems a little underhanded .to me.

    Wasn't sure which one to buy, 5" or 7". Looked at them at the store display and the resolution on the 7" was much better. I used it on a short trip and when I did not go per route instructions it auto adjusted to my selected route. The voice is loud and clear. Connects to my phone easily. The change in the speed limits match the location of the signs. It does not, however, know the speed limit change in construction zones. I really like the picture it displays on the right side when you are coming to a major highway connection. I haven't tried to upload a trip route yet but plan on it soon to see how it handles it.

    The screen is great on this GPS. It looks like a 4K TV in my car. The voice control are a nice feature, and the size is great for my car since I have a large windshield.

    It has been a great GPS for use in a semi as a second GPS. It doesn't have the feature of tracking miles per state which is needed for truckers.
