Needed to replace my old Garmin. This one is much the same, but newer features. The learning curve is easy.

I've had this for about a month and am very pleased so far. I wanted an economical way to always have navigation without depending on my mobile phone and data plan. The unit is compact, making placement easy. It was easy to update,using my home computer. It works well.

I have an RV 795 gps for our motor home but needed something for our tow car. The small gps is similar to the rv gps so I was able to put all our Destinations in it, in a matter of minutes. Now we can find our way back to camp after a day of exploring.

This model has less features than the Nuvi 52 I used to have. There are less voice selections. The Garmin garage is no longer an option to select different vehicles as your driving icon. You only have a few options on this model as your driving icon. Although the glass screen is a nice upgrade.

I bought this thinking it would be up to date the are streets in Hazel Green Al that have been here over 2yrs and is still not on the garmin maps even if you update them and the are streets in downtown Huntville Al that use to be one way streets that are now two way but garmin still thinks the are one way

Got this one when my older Garmin Drive stopped working. Looks just like it, but no instruction manual for tech-impaired customers such as myself. Has features my old one didn't have, had no idea whether to select or not. E.g.: choose between Fastest Time and Straight Line. What? And there was no sound. I finally just blindly pushed random selections and suddenly I had the voice. I think I have it figured out now, just hope I don't need a "new" and "improved" one again. My old one was just fine--until it wasn't. I also hope the random selections I made in total frustration don't take me to the dregs of big cities. Right now I see a main route on the screen, but there's also a dotted line route that's slightly different. No idea what that's about. Just get me to where I need to go, and give me a scenic route. Really do not like interstates and other highways.

This is my second Garmin GPS purchase and replaces a Nuvi 42 that lasted for 13 years, and probably could have gone longer. If you dig into the settings, you can set a blue line to be drawn on routes you have traveled. This is especially useful if you are trying to find a parking spot and you need to circle back. Where was that road? Just go back to the Blue line. The screen is much improved and is bright and clear. I like that the next cross street is shown at the bottom, I tend to use the phone for directions and as I listen I watch the names of the cross streets. I thought about purchasing the version with traffic, but did not want to have it bluetoothed to my phone. The street accuracy is fairly good, and newer streets in my drive are on the maps correctly (with a few exceptions). I haven’t used this Garmin for directions much yet, but when I have, directions tend to route you to bigger streets and do not always find short cuts, but I’ve noticed that the apps on my phone do this as well, so you still need to do some short cuts seeking. Routing changes quickly if I miss a turn. In the Dallas area, the 635 construction rebuild is not in the maps correctly and the GPS usually thinks you are on the access road. I assume this will get fixed in a map upgrade.

The screen is clear and bright but a wee bit small compared to the 5.5" units I also have, but quite workable, and is especially useful in applications with limited dash space or when trying to minimize forward view interference. It would be especially great if it would allow portrait mode, but currently does not.

I used a TOM Tom for 15 years with lifetime updates. I guess I am Dead becuase they stopped with the updates. So I bought this little work Horse. It does everthing I need and does not get in the way of my view. I did buy another one with traffic. Not so sure about the traffic. I still have not see it engage. It is Drive 53 with Traffic. I am very happy with both units

I plugged the unit into my 2023 Honda Accord and navigated from Elgin, SC to Hendersonville, NC as directed by the “53” as directed and knew where I was all during the trip. It showed my location, speed and direction of travel. A great little basic navigation system.
