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 am very happy with the GPS. The only draw back is trying to give a verbal command address. Even speaking clearly and slowly, a crazy address will show up that isn't even close to what you want. It also seems to get behind where I am. I will already have turned when it tells me to turn at the light or stop sign.

    We purchased this unit in Florida a week ago and it worked fine until this morning when I pushed the button to turn it on nothing happened. I used the plug from my old GPS to see if the charger wasn't working but that didn't work either. I've sent an e-mail to Garmin to see if I should sent it to them or bring it back to Best Buy in Fort Wayne. Will wait for a response. thanks, Ron Mellott

      I’m sorry to hear that about your experience with the device. A soft reset can help by forcing the device to reboot. Connect the device to a power source with a USB cable, vehicle power cable, or an AC adapter. Press and hold the power button for 10 to 15 seconds.
      If you’re unable to get the device powered on, Garmin Product Support would be happy to offer additional assistance. Our contact information, including telephone number and hours of operation, can be found on at: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/ Garmin

    Very good. However, the holder can't hold it in place on the windshield. As na result, I have to either put on a seat or have someone hold it and read the driving instructions. Why is it that the GPS holder cannot hold it anymore? this is the third GPS that I have that has this problem.
