Doesn’t include the traffic cable. It costs extra. GPS works well for the price. The traffic cable was $60 more. Purchased this GPS because our old one had a bad power cable. This one works about the same as the old one except it does not require a password to get into the main screen.

We just got back from vacation. 5 states in 2 weeks, and this Garmin took us everywhere we wanted to go. We never would have found all the addresses on our own. This little baby even took us to the family cemetery, which was off a black top road and then a gravel road in the middle of no where. We were very impressed with it and will definitely will use on future trips.

Replacing a several year old unit with this one.
Like the large screen, really like the split screen showing exits.
Only problem is the battery life sucks.
Doesn’t last even 15 minutes.

These things are built into newer model cars but we are still old school. This replaces an earlier model Garmin we've used since 2007. The new one is lighter, slightly bigger screen and provides more visual information. Works great for our needs.

Affordable GPS, small enough to be portable between vehicles and into your home but big enough to see the directions on screen when driving. The initial map update took nearly all of the available storage space, you'll need an SD card sooner than later if you do many map updates or need more maps for more areas.

Had to put in extra memory to load all the maps and took almost 3 hours to load. By that time the battery had fully charged up and I was ready to go. I like the bright screen and am able to see it at any angle. It is a step up from my old GPS. The unit loads my destinations fast and I am able to check out shopping and attractions with ease. This is a nice unit for the money.

I have used the Garmin products in the past and rate them as excellent in every area, but due to my current budget I went to the 5" and it is very easy to unintentionally push the wrong characters due to the smaller screen, that is the compromise. Next time, I'll get the larger screen, its worth the additional cost.

I could not be happier. The Garmin - Drive 52.5 is easy to see and use in my pickup truck. My wife and I used it on a recent trip and the detail it provided made the trip much easier. The lane guidance feature was especially helpful going through cities.

Our old GPS went out to lunch so we decided on this one to replace it and so far it works fine. We are having a problem with the GPS giving us direction to take the long way not the fastest way but my husband says we have to figure out how to switch to the way we want the directions to be given.
