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.

    Unlike the older Garmin you can't put all the little numbers to the right side like elevation Direction distance to arrival time to arrival you're only allowed the two numbers at the bottom which of your speed and then whichever one metric you want to pick. Also if you want traffic uou have to link to your cell phone and not run through the cord like the older models so you're going to use data if you want traffic so I'm not quite sure why it says unlimited traffic

    Since the gps is good, bigger than my previous one but need to connect a different cable which allows you to have traffic features, which the cable cost me another like $60.00. If you connect with your smartphone, the traffic is working but that is smartphones features! If the special cable is included then the price is ok, otherwise it’s toonhigher!

    This GPS is awesome, it does it all, and more, the basic features are very advanced, and the hands free calling capability, especially today, where so many states are requiring hands free driving, is pure joy, also, the wife update feature, is wonderful, because our old GPS was so inconvenient, and would often fail while updating. I highly recommend this product to any one who likes to go places.

    We had our car broken into and they stole our old Garmin. Jerk left the cord so not sure how they will get it to work. Anyway, we had purchased drivesmart 61 for our other vehicle and we really liked it. 7” screen is beautiful. It was a no brainer. Off to Best Buy to get a second 61- 7”. We now have two great GPS. Very satisfied. We also got a great discount which sweetened the deal.
