If you like Garmin, you will like this GPS. You will be very disappointed if you want to have Traffic updates. The manual says you can get traffic, but you cannot. I called Garmin support and they said it cannot give traffic updates.

No traffic update or alerts. What good is a GPS without that feature. A useless piece of equipment. They forget to say this clearly in the description!! Information only appears on the Q & A. And now I can't return it. Gd it.

Unfortunately, the Drive 53 you purchased is an entry level device with only basic navigation functionality. If these features are important to you I recommend the Drive 53 & Traffic or even better the DriveSmart line of devices. Should you have any further questions reach out to us at product.support@garmin.com

Sadly, it was a bad purchase. It gave out and took me to a strange place in Leominster. Thankfully, my cousin was home and got me righted. Then it wouldn't start the next day. I stopped to ask for help. It took me to a dead end street and failed. I had to call police for help as I had no idea where I was. Thankfully others allowed me to follow them so that I could get back on the highway home. It completely broken. I'm grateful to the Marlborough, MA store team that allowed me to return it broken with a full refund.

I bought a Garmen gps and am very unhappy with it. I'm not very tech savy so I made an appt with geek squad to update maps. I told them we were leaving on a road trip and they were good about doing it quickly. When I got home I tried to put in the addresses and could not do it. I called the geek squad and was unable to get anyone to help me. I then printed out the map on my computer. I was a nervous wreck trying to follow a printed map to Florida and am very upset with BestBuy.

very difficult to use over previous model. Can't fix anything on it in car have to bring back in and put on computer. Terminology is very confusing as well.

I live in Western NY and the unit kept searching for addresses in Ontario, Canada first - and only. Noone from Best Buy or the Geek Squad could figure out what to do with it.

Never bought it. Service at Schaumburg location wasn’t great.

The first time I used this it kept sending me all the wrong ways and sending me to places unknown. I'm afraid to use it again. A trip that should have taken 40 to 50 min. took me 2 1/2 hrs.

Bought it online picked it up. Let it charge. I went to use it, the gps turns off after 2 minutes. Disappointed in Garmin. I will be returning it

Yes, although this entry level device is portable, it does not offer handheld navigation and will require use of provided power cable when in use.
