Very fast delivery. This was my third Garmin and I have been very pleased with all of them. I was really impressed, when I was easily able to transfer all my old saved destinations, using Garmin Express, to my new Garmin Drive 52

A nice upgrade from my old Nuvi. I did not have any troubles adjusting to my new Garmin. Solid performer, I recommend purchasing one - especially at this price point.

Nice GPS with much faster response times, better touch screen performance and more accurate than my 2 previous Garmin devices. Traffic feature works in metro areas and the maps update when connected to Garnin Express on a PC.

very disappointed & dissatisfied.

very dissatisfied with this product. does not give traffic updates in a timely manor. print is much to small to read. did not give advanced traffic of stop & go or slow and stopped traffic. very hard to read side streets or advance streets. after exit from turnpike did not give north or south direction. I stopped using this device, my 11 yr old garmin nuvi was better but could not download new maps, not enough room in memory.

Works really well. I like that the traffic info antenna is built into the unit and not in the cord.

Nice unit. Picks up satellites quickly, unlike my old nuvi. Lot's of new features from my old nuvi. A good unit for someone not needing all the options offered by the top of their line.

Faster than the older Nuvi

Very nice unit. Much faster in finding satellites and locations than my older Nuvi. Has been accurate with directions and I find the customizable "what's ahead" function for fuel, rest areas, and food to be very useful. Was a bear to do an update from Garmin Express. Took multiple times, finally got it updated by logging on very early AM EST. Not the unit's problem but a problem with Garmin. Trouble updating my "lifetime maps and traffic" on the Nuvi is why I got this one. Traffic is a nice feature, but... not very accurate most of the time. Nice price at Crutchfield and fast delivery, I will always look to check what they offer when I am in the market for something. Great vendor!

Updated old Nuvi

I had a Garmin GPS for what seems like forever and there was nothing wrong with it, but with the upgrade in technology, as of late, I decided to get this updated version. I took a short (600 ml RT) trip last week and it worked flawlessly right out of the box with many more handy features than my old one. I love it!

It's okay - I'll figure it out

I replaced a previous version of the Garmin Nu vi with this Garmin Drive. There have been many improvements and changes, some of which I like. I especially don't miss the audio comment "Recalculating" when I picked a deviation from the Nuvi calculated route. However... some features on the Drive are not intuitive to find or incorporate. I am now in the process of personalizing all the notifications the system provides. I had 'lifetime maps' on my earlier version, and now I can't tell if I got the same benefit from this purchase. Simply, the advertising and software for this item are not straightforward. And the maps are still not as up-to-date in my city. My cell phone has recent address additions while my Garmin indicates an address here from 5 years ago is still not in their system.

I really want to love this GPS...

My old Garmin Nuvi 1470 finally died and I needed a similar unit to replace it. The Garmin 52 with Traffic most closely matched my old unit so I decided to purchase it. Other than some USB issues when using Garmin Express the unit works perfectly. My biggest complaint is that the roads and text are just too small to see easily. I have tried all of the map themes that came with the unit and I even created one of my own which greatly helps with making roads more visible but the text used elsewhere on the display isn't able to be enlarged in any way. I love that the unit offers multiple route options to a destination, but the "shortest distance" option almost never works satisfactorily. The 1470 was great at calculating shortest distance routes. With this unit I have to spend a few minutes tweaking a route to get it to go where I want. In fairness, it does offer several ways to avoid certain roads or areas. I want to love this GPS but I can't. I have to stare so hard at the screen to read it that I fear I will have an accident because I spend too much time looking at it instead of the road. Crutchfield shipped the unit to me quickly and it was packaged well. Since this GPS is neither damaged nor defective it's not fair for me to return it to Crutchfield. I should have done more research before selecting this model. My fault entirely. II will apply the $12 return shipping fee toward a different unit (DriveSmart 55 maybe) and keep this.

Tricky trip

I used the new Garmin 52 on a tricky curve filled mission. The unit worked as wellas my wife's I phone and our old NUVI. Great new features helped make the trip more pleasurable. Just wish I could download a few different voices.

Excellent Value!

Having had a positive experience with my old (still working) Garmin Nuvi GPS, I updated to the Drive 52. The touchscreen is improved and the new features are a welcome plus. Driving instructions very descriptive and, most importantly, accurate! Vocalizations are clear and understandable. Overall, this is an excellent value!

Garmin Drive 52 & Traffic

For the price I think this is an excellent device. I wish the screen was a little bigger and the resolution was higher but for under a hundred dollars I can't complain too much. I have been buying garmin devices for over 20 years and this device is an upgrade from my previous garmin for my truck. My other one didn't have lifetime maps because it was a gift. Since I was looking for a device I made sure to get one with lifetime map updates. I don't plan on ever using the traffic part of the device because I live in a rural area and that is mostly only helpful in big cities, but I got it anyways to future proof it. If you are looking for a basic Garmin GPS for your vehicle you can't go wrong with this one. If you want one with better resolution or a bigger screen or that has Wi-Fi for easy updating check out the more expensive Garmin GPS models.

Confidence in Garmin Navigation

Have used Garmin Nav for years, last Civic had it built in, my new CR-V didn't so it was clear what to do: Get a Garmin from Crutchfield. Updated the maps on arrival, works well, graphics seem improved, finally settled on a Garmin vent clip mount. Very pleased, have to find sites as I work as a consultant for the hospital I retired from, the Drive 52 is finding everything reliably.

Great GPS

Great product. It was ready to use right out of the box. Have now used it 5 or 6 times, and for my vehicle it is the perfect size. Have uploaded new maps from the Garmin website, and that was intuitive as well. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who is tired of using their phone as a GPS. Also the traffic feature is a nice. Going through Kansas City a couple weeks ago, it picked up on delays due to construction. Great product!

Garmin Drive 52 with traffic

I had an older model of Garmin (Nuvi 2350) for 8 years that worked great and finally died. This one is very similar with nice upgrades that includes more derailed street and turn information. Less guess work to know what turn to take. The screen is a little larger and the graphics are clear and easy to see even in the sunlight. I think this is very user friendly and updates are easy off their Garmin Express.Happy overall with this version and would recommend this model

I had a Nuvi but the Drive 52 with traffic is much better. Just used it on a trip to Michigan and the traffic feature was very helpful.

My third Garmin device and so far I like my new device

This is the third Garmin GPS I have purchased. I have always liked the features and reliability of Garmin's devices. I have only used the device for about three weeks so it is difficult to give a complete review. The reason I purchased a new device is because my other GPS was over four years old and I wanted the additional features that Garmin Drive 52 offered. I use my GPS in the U.S. and when I visit Ireland. I do have to download the Irish maps but I have found the Garmin GPS is accurate in Ireland. I did have to update the device when it arrived and I was able to move my favorites from my old device to the new device easily. The only issue I have discovered that is good and bad is the number of digits that the new device allows after the decimal. The old unit you could have five digits after the decimal but with the new unit you can have six. That is great but the device would not let me just add the additional digit. I had to delete the location and re-enter. I had over 20 locations programmed into the device using the coordinates feature. Many of the tourist locations in Ireland do not have street addresses so you need to use the latitude and longitude. The new device does find satellites quicker and I like how it gives you a landmark ... turn at the traffic light.
