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.

Completely satisfied. It does everything it should and nothing that it shouldn't. Crutchfield had the best price on this unit that I could find.

Great GPS

Bought this for a delivery van in our fleet that does a lot of deliveries in the city. The drivers seems to like it. Had no complaints so I suppose he's happy.

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!

Getting there is EASY!

I had hopes of worry free directions, and pleased as punch with my choice. Look or listen and you're on the way... better yet, look and listen and you're home free.

Overall, it is a good performer. Programming addresses can be a bit confusing, but overall not to bad. I would recommend this product to someone else.

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.

Excellent Performance

Very pleased with the Garmin and its performance. Have only used it 2 times so far and really like the unit vs. the Nuvi 350 I had.
