  • Great for travel to places you have never been to.
Style: Drive 53
Had one prior to this one. Easy to use and works great.

  • Excellent!
Style: Drive 53
Bought this for my motorcycle instead of spending 5x the money on the XT model. Slabbed a bunch of Velcro on the back and also on my bike dashboard and it works fantastic! I connect the power vie USB plug on the motorcycle. When I power off the bike, this unit shuts down after 15 seconds. It is blazing fast to locate the satellites. And very fast to “redirect “ if I vary my route. Can’t get it wet but it’s rare I get caught in a storm. Great unit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ... show more

  • Bright display and map updates
Style: Drive 53
Since this is my 6th Garmin GPS, setup was very easy for me. I added this unit to Garmin Express on my desktop and it immediately let me know that there were software updates and a map update available to download. This unit was not advertised as "Lifetime Maps" and maybe the new policy at Garmin is to just allow map updates for the expected life of the unit which I am not sure how long that is. There was mention of this in the lengthy user agreement that you have to read (or scroll through) in order to start the downloads. ... show more

  • Garmin GPS works well
Style: Drive 53
I've had several Garmin GPSs and found them very reliable. However, I've bought three refurbished models and had to return all three. I recommend buying new units only.

  • Worse than my old TomTom
Style: Drive 53 with Traffic
I had some grumbles with my old TomTom, so when it finally bit the dust, I was open to a new brand. Well, since TomTom and Magellan no longer make car GPSs, Garmin is our only choice now, anyway. The most important function for any GPS is to navigate. This one very frequently loses its satellite connection. The map freezes, and a banner says Lost Satellite Reception or Acquiring Satellites. I've gotten to driving locally with it turned on just so I can monitor this, and it occurs randomly and stays this way for many minutes at a time. Meanwhile, I've passed 50+ potential turnoffs. Because of this problem, this device is worthless. Even while this GPS is working, while driving on an interstate, it will frequently direct me to take an exit, then re-enter the interstate at the same exit. Maybe it was two feet shorter? A Garmin GPS I used in a rental car 20 years ago did this, but I thought that Garmin would have corrected that by now--wrong. Also, this thing occasionally loses its view settings, so the perspective changes drastically, and good luck figuring out how to get it back. Even switching places with my passenger the last time this happened, it took me at least ten frustrating minutes to figure it out. Very unintuitive. So bottom line, I do not recommend this device. However, all the competition is gone. The world wants us to rely on our phones for road navigation. I could live with that if I had a cell signal in all the wilderness areas I frequent, but that doesn't work either. Our technology has gone backwards. ... show more

  • Good and bad
Style: Drive 53
Have used multiple Garmins for many years. One finally died so bought this one. Screen clarity is better than prior models. Seems to boot up a bit faster as well. Functionality is more complex than previous models are they have crammed new features into this model (too many in my opinion). Some changes make the model harder to use than older ones. I imagine I will get used to it. One oddity, typically the unit is mounted in the center area of a windshield. Many function buttons are now on the left side vs formally right. Feels odd as you loose visibility of the screen in this operating method. All in all, looks pretty good however more complicated to use compared to older models. Weather it be the latest version of Windows or this Garmin, software engineers continue to “improve” products by making them less functional. ... show more
