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 wanted a dedicated gps so as to not use my cellular data, and this thing is great. Clear and easy to use.

    I was excited for the extra size screen and it’s features. Also got the antenna/power adapter for traffic updates. It doesn’t always work with traffic updates. Been sitting at traffic some times and says “no traffic detected”. Not sure if needs a software update or it’s like so but would rather go with TomTom next time
