Garmin - Drive 52 5" GPS - Black

Easy to use. Good price. Works even better than the last NUVI 52 than I owned.

GPS unit was dead out of the box. Took over a day to fully charge. Once charged was able to set up and use. Worked as expected. Was a replacement for a dying GPS from another manufacturer that I owned for years. Used twice and noted if not used for more than a week when turned back on the battery status showed yellow or red.... seemed odd. So upon calling Garmin tech support that is the expected operation of the battery.... it is only a short life battery so that’s my answer why dead out of the box. It is not designed to be used without power for a short 1 or 2 hour drive, must be plugged in all the time. My previous old unit could be used for short drives and would hold most of its battery power for over 6 months.

Easy to set up and use. The screen is plenty big. It does come with a chord and suction mount kit, which is not in the pics or specifications. The unit has a small slot for a memory card and I would suggest purchasing one. My first update nearly filled up the onboard memory.

If you also get a dashcam (Recommended) you'll need a two or three ciggerette lighter socket adapter. The GPS must use the included power adapter for maximum brightness and to charge it's battery. The GPS is a good no frills unit. Ok so far, got me from NY to TX. Displays your speed and the posted limit on the map. I used a 3rd party mount so it was more convenient to use. Not sure what I can do to keep it out of the sun when I park. A foam cup? It will shutdown if too hot. Overall, recommended.

Easy to work and works great. I drive for my job and I use this daily. Definitely worth the price. Garmin has yet to fail with me.

This is my 2nd Garmin which is a replacement for my previous NUVI model which I gave to my daughter for food delivery service. This model is easy and simple to use. The best feature I like it showing the drive time to destination. Unit works GREAT everywhere I go.

I love the Garmin - Drive 52.5" GPS. It's so easy to use. I would recommend the GPS to my family and friends.

Awesome device. Sits on dash no need to fumble with phone. Great when traveling away from home. No need to pay extra for the rental car to have a gps
