    This GPS device offers better guidance than other ones we have used, such as turn right on X Street just past JiffyLube. It is small enough to hang on the air vent, and has clear images and text. It seems to offer good warnings of sudden events such as radar ahead and accidents. It did mislead us once when we turned into a gated community by mistake, but everything was okay when we got back to the public street. I highly recommend the Garmin Dive 52.

    I may be a little premature in writing this review as I have just received it. The reason I ordered this model was it doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles I won't need and will make it simpler to use. Also, the price was right at $99.99, and it comes with the cables you need and the suction cup mount, although I will most likely purchase the dash mounting block.

    My brother has a Canon 80D and I wanted one like it. Then I came across this sweet camera! It has so many similar qualities in a tiny package, and is very manageable despite my larger hands. The kit lenses are fine, but the Tamron I use with an adapter provides better clarity. As others mentioned, battery life isn’t the greatest, so order a couple spares. Using the economy mode will help extend battery life quite a bit, but you need to accept that the screen dims often when not in use. The menu is very easy to figure out and the beginner’s mode is useful for starting out. It’s marketed as a beginner camera, but it’s packed with features and I am really enjoying it. Great for beginning and intermediate users. Even pros can use it as an extra backup. Audio is very good using the built in mics and there’s input for an external mic as well! The swivel screen is invaluable for vlogging, shooting at creative angles and it’s a touch screen which can be used to control every setting in the camera! The WiFi feature is very useful allowing you to remotely control all functions to shoot, focus, set aperature, ISO, shutter speed...everything! Overall, I love it and recommend it if you’re budget is under a grand for a camera, Lenses and accessories.

    I bought this GPS to replace one that had finally stopped working after many years of faithful service. It helped that it was on sale. I am not tech savvy but this GPS is so much better than the old one - better and easier directions to follow, easier to use and understand. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good, solid, basic GPS.

    We bought this on the road to replace an older GPS unit. While the documentation could be a little more complete the unit was easy to use and served well. The right side panel showing upcoming cities or services (gas, restaurants etc) was very useful and could be tailored to display what you wanted to see. The display and voice were adjustable to comfortable levels. An added feature (that was not in the documentation as far as I could tell) is that the unit beeps when the speed limit changes. This saved me from a couple tickets as I didn't see the speed limit signs. The mount worked flawlessly, adhering to the wind shield for a 12 hour trip with no hint of loosening or falling. The size is big enough to be seen and yet small enough that when tucked up close to the rear view mirror it doesn't block too much of your view. After about an hour I didn't even notice it there unless I was actively looking at it for info. All in all a good purchase

    Works like a charm. Very EASY to use with TOUCH-SCREEN, much easier to enter the address, when compared to AUDI's 2 year old in-dash unit. EASY to UPDATE the maps, when connected to my PC.

    Easy to use, update and navigate. I like that it charges while hooked to a computer (for downloading). Haven't used it much, yet, but I think it will do a fine job with all kinds of navigation. Waiting for the end of Covid to start taking most trips again.

    For the price this is a good GPS system. I sometimes found that the system was a little glitchy but I have not updated mine recently. I also found that the touch screen is sometimes inaccurate. Not the end of the world but it was a little annoying at first. I used it recently on a longer road trip. Once the route was set and I hit the road, it performed great. It kept my location accurate even on back country roads, and rerouted quickly when I missed a turn. My only recommendation is to double check your route after you hit go, mine would sometimes default to route 1 when I wanted route 2. (This could be my lack of recent updates, but I'm not sure)

    I've had this a year now. Its like using Google maps but no internet required. Just update once a year. Businesses are in this GPS. Takes a little while to tweak the settings (brightness,volume etc),but well worth the money if you need a stand alone GPS

    It perfectly fit inside My Toyota Yaris 2012 dashboard as if it was made specifically for this car. I did not need to buy any mounting accessories. Works much better and more reliable than Cell Phone GPS app. Actually, this is the Best Buy I bought in best Buy ever. Price was right also.

    It does what I need it to do. Bought it for used car I purchased. I have had Garmin Nuvi in my pickup for years. This Garmin Drive 52 is so similar to the Nuvi I have no trouble operating it and I am very familiar with how to navigate through the GPS.

    I needed to replace my Garmin GPS. Best Buy had this option priced just right. Only a few cents difference from other sites. This Garmin GPS is easy to use and has features my old Garmin didn't have. Garmin products are always dependable and reliable. I love it!

    Does what I need it to-just a few glitches

    This was money well spent for a 1000 mile trip. It has what I want in a gps-option of showing miles left, time of arrival etc; can see upcoming towns, alerts to speed cameras. I wish there were more options for voice. It did have a few glitches, but nothing that put me off course. It once told me to get on the northbound highway while the visual showed going to the southbound exit. I had been here before so knew I wanted to go southbound. It told me to take exit 168 rather than 16B which was obvious. It would tell me to stay on the highway when some random exit came along, but in one city the road split into 3 different roads/directions and there was no notification from the unit. The road signage was good, though, so no harm, no foul. I would get it again
