Customers are saying

Customers praise the Drive 50LM 5" GPS for its lifetime map updates, accurate GPS guidance, and ease of use. Many appreciate the clear maps and straightforward operation. However, some users find the route selection could be improved, as it occasionally suggests less-than-ideal paths. The device's ability to navigate effectively is a significant positive, despite this drawback.

    I bought this to replace a Garmin that was over 15 years old and staring to fail to pick up satellites. My gosh how GPS has improved since then. This unit gives big, clear maps and excellent guidance through traffic and wide open spaces. This unit does a great job and has lifetime map update included in the price.

    This my third Garmin. They're reliable, fairly to operate, and hugely useful. In the three years since I bought my last one, Garmin has added useful features, like warning of upcoming speed limit changes. Strongly recommend.

    My only complaint is the choice of routes. It does not let you make the choice of going on main roads versus back roads. It is the lesser priced Garman.

    This is an upgrade from a previous Garmin and wow on the additional features since then. Even better, I got it on a daily deal. Lifetime maps is definitely a plus-my last one didn't have it. Love the icons on the screen, and the examples of the exit when you get close. Highly recommended.

    This GPS unit works well most of the time. Sometimes it will send you on not the most direct routes. You have to ignore it's directions sometimes and wait for it to set up an new route. At least it has never told me to turn into the boat ramp of a lake or anything like that.

    It's easy to use, just plug & play. I mounted on the front windshield of my 2017 Infiniti Q50 sedan. Look very sleek and matches with my 2 screen inside the car. The only thing I dislike the battery life. Fully charged and would only last less than 2 hrs.

    Went from the 4" to 5" which is nice. Also you get more 'heads up' notifications with this GPS. Things like speed changes, school zones, railroad tracks, etc.

    OK, it works fine. There's a few extra bells and whistles as compared with my old Nuvi 255. The BB manager on duty wasn't the best.

    It works ok, but it’s not as easy to program as the one I had before. The problem I had with the last one was the plug in port got loose inside and stopped working witch can be fixed but they want what it cost to do it. So I bought this one and it looks the same but programs different.

    It's my second Garmin GPS. I purchased this new GPS because my old one didn't have memory card slot and probably I will need to buy Europe maps.
