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.

    I bought this GPS on sale and it is the best one I have ever purchased. I would recommend purchasing the weather service through the Garmin Link app. It can come in handy.

    I like that it can connect to my Wi-Fi network to get updates. Nice that it shows the speed limit of the road I am on. Don't like the very short battery life even when it is brand new.

    Love my Garmin products! Needed a new one (bigger screen) for a road trip and this one supports the wifi camera already installed, was the perfect choice!

    Its a good GPS that is user friendly and sleek, bt the suciton mount didn't last for more than a couple of month. Older model Garmin suction mounts lasted longer.

    Comparing it to my old Magellan with a 7 inch screen it's not bad, refreshes a little slower than expected & few software bugs. Screen size is nice & clear, performed well on a 2000 mile road trip.
