- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2025Works great. Helps me get to my destination faster especially in areas where I’m not familiar with. Readability features and accuracy are on point. It was a quick install and a good value for the price.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2024I start this by saying I purchased a Garmin Drive 53. And it replaced my Garmin Nuvi 1450 which treated me well. It died a peaceful death.
Not having a Gamin made me feel naked. I reviewed the inventory on Amazon. My first choice was the Garmin Drive Smart 66. It appeared there wasn’t anything it couldn’t do. I will comment about this later.
The Garmin Drive 53 proved to be a real change from my old Nuvi 1450. I especially liked the navigation voice which was clear and precise. A real improvement. The new unit fit the dash exactly like the old one and everything just worked The suction cup didn’t need moisture. And the new one stuck to the windshield like it had been glued. A real improvement.
The final words on this new Garmin are sterling. A great build and a great price. I recommend to download the owners manual annd take advantage of everything built into it. It's also available on the GPS.
Now a comment on the Garmin Drive Smart 66 This was my first purchase because I was impressed with the many features. It took time to work through them. And then this popped up. A gray cloud strip covered a portion of the map. Not good. I returned the unit to the seller and Amazon applied the credit. Both operations were flawless.
I now have experience operating a well built basic GPS vs a well built GPS with more features. Driving a vehicle requires your full attention. If you are able to talk on the phone, get a weather report, dial in music and maybe get the news, one must weigh these advantages in relationship to the attention needed on the road. Your call!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025We have been trying it out locally now and are very pleased. It's a good size for the car and easy to see and understand the voice directions. It's nice to have Garmin customer service if I ever need it.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2024Been using Garmin GPS foryears. This is second unit I've purchased. Several new additions that makes this unit a bit harder to use than my older model. Others have said, and I agree that I'd like to have a larger map. My older similar size unit did have a larger map. The display was you get near streets and they are named in a header across the top is very convenient. The holder that is intended to be attached to the windshield is, in my opinion, rather useless. Mine fell off 3 times unable to hold the unit. I tossed away and used my old bean bag type garmin holder with the ball and socket mechanism. It may slide some on the dash but at least it doesn't fall
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025This Garmin Drive GPS has a great screen with easy programming and key navigation features at a great price.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2025Bottom line, all good…after you figure out how to use it. No written instructions, so it took a while to get it up and running. good graphics. If I had to do it all over again I would get the 7 inch version.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2025It is new and worse than old nuvi which i was used for years. This new devise lags a lot, no idea when it shows correct speed (i already on full stop on traffic lights and it shows 8mph). Maps are not good - google map and this gps shows me 2 different locations of the same address! This device doesn't shows correct speed limit, or shows none, for many routes and i do not mean forest routes.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2025Great item. Like the easy to use.
