  • Preforms as it should
Style: Drive 52 Pattern: Navigator
Tried this out around home to see what routes it chooses for you. Preforms as it should by getting you to where you want to go. However, when I deviate from its route it wants you to go the new route isn’t quite how I would go knowing my home area, but it will get you there without a doubt. But if you’re in a new area and it takes you to your destination, you won’t know if it’s the best route or not, but you’d still get there. I got it to save from using my phone all the time, plus it will work where there is no cell service as it uses satellites. ... show more

  • Much more user friendly than a cheap one
Style: DriveSmart 65 & Traffic Pattern: Navigator
I bought a cheaper GPS navigator and flew to Phoenix. It was absolutely better than a paper map but it was poorly thought out and frustrating to use. I am referring to the turn by turn directions. We used our phones to navigate as much as possible and used the GPS navigator when out of cell range. I returned that one and took a chance on this one at about twice the cost. I am very satisfied with this one. It is easy to program my destinations and the directions are as good or better than using my phone. You get significant advance notice of the next turn then again as you get closer. It also lets you know things like "be in the left 2 lanes" when appropriate so you don't find yourself on the wrong side of a 5 lane highway or "turn right at the light then be in the left lane" so you are ready for the turn after the next turn when appropriate. The screen size is more than adequate. I don't regret not buying a larger screen. ... show more

  • still a good car GPS but with some drawbacks compared to older Garmins
Style: Drive 52 Pattern: Navigator
If you still use a stand alone car GPS, Garmin remains the last strong hold making stand alone units, thus I bought another as my older one is acting up, but I will repair my older one to use as backup as this new one is a step back in some respect. They are also good for domestic rentals, as you can bring presets and customs with you rather than relearning the nav unit in a rental. Garmin also pioneered car GPS, so the UI and design are optimal for drivers compared to free Google maps navigators; I use both when driving. For under $100, Garmins are still a steal. This review is after 1 week of daily road use. Pros Coming from a Garmin nuvi since 2010 and 2013, you can functionally do all older unit do and its overall like a slightly bigger and faster version of the nuvi, otherwise the same. However, moving from a 2010 unit to a 2013 nuvi, there were all improvements. But moving from 2013, to 2022 is a step back in some functions Build quality is the same, high, since 2010, no longer rubber coated to make it easier to grip, but still works the LCD screen has a tighter dot pitch and is clearer, and this unit is larger than my nuvi the touch seems more responsive the directions are spoken clearly and enunciated with emphasis in critical areas, like when a turn is about to happen updates online are faster download and install, but work similarly as older units Garmin Express is simple and easy to use, and offers more functions now than older versions, see photo able to carry forward my custom POI and locations, moving them from my nuvi to the 52 max volume is very loud, and so is brightness to see in full sunlight, I had to tone both down, a good thing, using Google maps to navigate on my phone, the phone is neither loud enough and would be useless if not being able to send the audio the car infotainment the newer design mounting clip uses the standard suction cup base, and takes getting used too but it allows me to use other Garmin accessory mounts Garmin has never gotten me lost in 1000mi+ trips, but some detours in backcountry, had some odd round abouts, for a country ride during the day it can be entertaining, at night it can be scary. However, Google Maps has taken me to bad detour routes, so I don't trust it for detours but it great for speed traps, alerts, and real time traffic. Cons custom POI do not migrate automatically, and there are no instructions. Open the POI folder in your older Garmin once the Garmin is attached to the PC, copy the POI to your PC, and remove the old Garmin, attach the new Garmin and drag that POI to the same folder in the new Garmin The color scheme for speed and limit is more bland and less alerting, and there is only one trip setting appearing on the right border, in the older units you could customize it in many ways to maximize the delivery of data on the small screen .. see photo on the fly detour requires up to 4 clicks, compared to one in the nuvi. One to hide the current trip setting, one to bring up the menu, one to select 'route', which is what detour is now called, then clicks again to select how far to detour. Luckily it does do the same thing, but getting to it is very annoying, being able to reroute on the fly when an accident or issue appears ahead of you is a key value a Garmin is for me, and they made it harder to use. The amount of custom voices is reduced, the voice sounds more mechanical and less natural, and is not as smoothly generated, there is a harshness to the voice synthesis, compared to older Garmins The killer to this model is the battery is only 1 hour, if at all, and mine barely got 15 minutes. Older garmins were are least 2 hours. Even after 1-2 recharges, I couldn't get it to last over 15 minutes, and later returned my unit as defective, and I already reduced the brightness and volume to under 50%. This means if you try adjusting it without the car adapter power, it will rapidly eat the battery down, and it also slowly eats the battery when the unit is off. You can conserve battery power by holding the Power button down until the TURN OFF dialog appears, cutting standby power to minimum. I often started the trip with the unit dead, and it wouldn't start until a minute or two for the battery to charge from zero. I bought another unit and returned my first, and it got 1 hour, but again, its barely enough. Garmin 52 with Traffic If you live in a well populated place, OTA Traffic has more options than older Garmins and is free and will save you a lot of time in wasted traffic. It uses the same cable as older Garmins that have Traffic. Its plug and play and what I changed my 52 too, and the ads don't say, upgrade maps are lifetime of the unit. It uses as much of the onboard memory as it can, then offloads stuff to the SD Card. For over 10 yrs, Garmins still have a max of 32GB SD cards, and been more than enough for decades. The OTA Traffic has less data than the upgraded model Garmins with bluetooth connect to your phone, to use its data for traffic updates, but reliability of the connection varies with your phone model, while the OTA is trouble free out of box. ... show more

  • The next generation
Style: DriveSmart 55 & Traffic Pattern: Navigator
In my opinion, I look at Garmin devices in three generations of products. My very first GPS was a tiny square screen which had miserable resolution. Saved points needed to be entered onto the tiny screen by typing on it. I figured out a way to edit the xml files with a text editor and put saved poi's onto the device over the usb port. I do not miss it. The next generation of products improved the screen and provided a number of utilities e.g. basecamp and Garmin Express which allowed me to read and write poi's and create routes. This was a welcome update although it was a bit quirky. I've been very happy with Garmin but decided to make yet another upgrade to this model. This is what I refer to as third generation. For the same screen size it has 3x the screen resolution and weighs 1oz less - which is important since they tend to droop over time. First the bad news. Garmin broke everything. Basecamp and Express no longer recognize the device. It no longer appears in Finder on my Mac. I downloaded the latest Express software and it simply hangs up. So, I went back to my Win7 laptop and downloaded the Windows version of Express and it just will not run at all. It prompted me to setup the "Drive" app on my phone but it took me half an hour to get it to pair over bluetooth. The previous Garmin app wouldn't work with it so I needed to download the latest app which is really stripped down. After wrestling with bluetooth pairing and getting the Drive app to find it, the performance is a great improvement. The app is solid and responsive, as is the GPS. Two really cool features was that this connects directly to WiFi and did its own map and firmware updates without the aid of a computer. This was good because I can't communicate with it from any computer I own. yes, I have tried several official Garmin usb cables and no it does not work at all. Garmin appears to have ditched Apple - hey, I don't blame you. Apple and Microsoft are competing for who can create the world's least useful operating system. So, Garmin appears to have gone rogue and designed a smartphone type of device which doesn't need helper apps like Express and Map Update. When there's an update, it will do it by itself over WiFi. Be sure to keep it plugged in tho. I had the least problems using the car adapter indoors with a 12v socket adapter to bypass the usb cable / hub / non-hub / transfer / power issues. Then, I just let it do its updates on its own. The very first annoying thing I don't like is every time I do any type of update the GPS asks me to enter my default language again and again and again, every time. I still speak English. Perhaps the GPS could remember that? This annoyance is offset by a feature I have been waiting over a decade to make its way into a GPS - read my texts out-loud to me. Finally! We've had this technology for years but it takes until now to get a device to simply talk to me, "Don't forget the milk." Wonderful. Too bad about breaking every Mac and PC app I have since it appears to be running on the Android OS, the sworn enemy of iOS and Apple. So, I can no longer see it as a disk drive on the Mac mini. eh, I don't really need that. I found that I can use my Galaxy contacts, copy the address on the phone, then paste it into the Drive app and say "go." Now I've got most of my POI's at my fingertips again, independent of both Apple and Microsoft hell. Since we've gone rogue and cut the cord, perhaps we can add an Android app to manage poi's and create routes? How about, since the GPS is connected to WiFi, give it a web server like my printer has so I can manage it with my web browser. The Drive app is still kinda primitive and featureless but that's just software and easily developed. There is lots of room for improvement but this is a great update. I will continue to hack at it to see how to get my old poi's into the unit. ... show more
