Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product does everything I need for it too do.

I dont have to use tracking as GPS, but I like it because it show me the speed limit, alert traffic, resturnant, gas station, and other add. It help me to know if there have resturnat so I can stop there. And I give 4 stars because the gps give me confuse and mess up to direction on way, it not same google map.

This camera has many features. Most I have not explored. Love the four square recommendations, usually spot on. There have been a few instances where a software glitch has caused me to be lost. I am not sure if this was due to the extreme cold temperatures. Otherwise it’s reliable

garmin gps is very easy to use and accurite I would recommend to friends

I keep discovering new items the GPS can do. The ease of using is great

Great value GPS for the money easy to use and very nice screen

Chrysler and Ford want me to pay extra money to renew my subscription and get map updates every year or so in my Dodge Ram and Ford Fusion. Garmin has let me update an older model for free every few months. The only way to go.

I have had numerous Garmin products over the years and I have to say this is by far the best one yet. I downloaded the updates over Wifi before I used it and it upgraded without any problems. I love the big screen size and lane junction view. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a top of the line GPS!

The DriveSmart 61 is a great GPS for both the beginner and the expert. The size (6.95" inches) of the display makes it one of the largest on the market. Bluetooth connectivity is a plus. Also includes lifetime Map and Traffic Updates. I've been using Garmin for years and this one is the best I have used.

I bought This device for my car at the first time The Nice Looking and Great definition picture of maps was perfect and after a Week when I tried to navigate the screen freeze and I could not turn off until the battery died. Something when wrong I am not happy what I got.

Does it do what it says it does. Yes it is a garmin so good quality as I have garmin in all my work vehicles. Is it worth the extra money. Nooooooo certainly not. Traffic alerts seem to rely on my phone so I have to run an app in the background which is a pain. I like that it gets emails and texts and can read them to you. That is cool but there is no way of not having emails and only texts come through on the screen. Also they stay on the screen for way to long. It also kicked off my route a few times when listening to emails and I didn't know until I was miles past my distination. The worst thing is that it has no idea what I am talking about. Remember when voice recognition first came out. It is like that. I sat parked for 30,mins trying to get this thing to recognize my home and or work address and it could not. In fact I could not get 1 single address to come up correct. So I don't bother anymore. I have basically turned the Bluetooth off and just have it as a cool gps.

In an attempt to keep my son off his phone while he is driving we ordered this instead of using the GPS on his phone. It seems to give really good directions and is reliable. We got him a Garmin Bluetooth camera to go with it but haven't hooked it up yet. Hopefully they work well together

Garmin Smartdrive 61 LMT is excellent. Set up was easy. Adding new locations is a breeze. Very easy to follow the route. It will lose satellite in a cement parking ramp but picks it right up when you drive outside. I would recommend this one to anyone. Way better than navigation from your smartphone.

This GPS has everything you'd ever want except one thing, the battery. Once you unplug it from the lighter plug, you've got maybe 35-40 minutes before it's dead. This would be a bad scenario for someone who needs it outside of the car or if your outlets in the car are broken.

Very easy to use & great that the updates can be done easily.

I purchased this GPS for a trip to Alaska from Cumberland, Virginia. It took us every step of the way right to the doorway of our booked hotel in Seward and returned us home in like manner. It pointed out eateries, fuel locations as well as rest stops and motels. It took all the guess work out of the trip.

This is a great GPS but I only have a flip phone. You need a smartphone to get the live traffic updates. So as far as a GPS it worked well. When I saw live traffic updates I thought that would be great. When I tried using it on a trip I was disappointed that It kept telling me to download an app. No can do with a flip phone. So I returned it to Best Buy.

My wife couldn't find directional north if it was her only hope for survival. In car Navigation systems have been such a scam for updates and this one has all updates included. Great Bluetooth Audio for using as a handless headset (glad to hear the last call on my wife's speaker phone)

I've owned four GPS devices and this model is the best I've owned.

Worked for 4 months, now constantly resets itself about every hour. Always when needed the most.
