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 upgrade offers a number of features my previous model did not have. It's taken some getting used to, but it does a great job.

    I use a GPS every time I drive, well almost. This GPS provides plenty of information, seems to be very accurate, and quickly responds to changes. I like it can read texts to me, I haven’t figured out how to send text with it. I love that it connects to my home internet. The car I use it in sits close enough to my house that it can do map updates without taking it out of the car. I think I may start using it in my Pickup Truck. The factory GPS leaves a lot to be desired.
