Low Volume

Notices are more informative. Interface seems less intuitive than our old NUVI 2555. Volume at MAX is less than our previous model which was easy to hear above the radio. This one has weaker volume.

Just what I needed

I bought this to replace my old Tom-Tom whose battery was dead and didn’t have enough space to upgrade the maps. The only thing that I wish that it had was the mileage to the destination displayed

Great tool to have

I purchased this unit a January 2024 and was money well spent. No mor Google map confusion and wrong way direction. I only wish I had purchased the larger screen. This is still great unit.

Best GPS device I have ever owned and used

I have had several Tom Tom's in the past they never performed as well as This Garmin 53, Right out of the box I could tell it was a much better unit. I downloaded all the updates then took a 650-mile trip next day and it preformed flawless.

The New Garmin 53

I have had 2 other Garmin devices over the last 15 years. One was stolen and the oldest finally failed. This one is simple to use and better than the in car navigation systems. They annoying and hard to use!

Very bad feelings !

There’s no audio and the device just kept silence no matter what you do like updating map and all the software. You should do research why you have this problem

Disappointing

Our phones did way better. It got us where we needed yo go but our phones did way better. this really lacked on telling us of traffic delays and lane closures. My old Garmin Nuvi did better.

So Glad I purchased this GPS

I purchased this because I was going on a trip and I was not familiar with the highways and I am so very glad I had this GPS. I had no problems navigating at all. This a really great product.

Not compatible with windows 11

Works great when used. Updates can only be done on windows 10. Not a good thing when all you have is windows 11. Have to borrow a computer for updates. Per Garmin working on issue.?
