    Not the ideal GPS!

    NOT user friendly at all. Unlike my last GPS, it doesn't alert me to traffic ahead & offer re-route suggestions, in fact, when I hit the 'traffic' button, it tells me I don't have the right power cord in to detect traffic? I still haven't been able to find different routing modes (ie: my last GPS had shortest time, shortest distance, least use of freeways, mostly freeways, etc). It can't be used when not plugged in! Even when it is fully 'charged' (has been plugged in over an hour), as soon as it is unplugged, it turns off - it will not run on battery! I want my Magellan back!!!

      In order to receive traffic on your Garmin Drive 53, you will need to pair it with a GTM 36 cable. Once you have that, a traffic event that will cause a delay of 5 minutes or greater can be detected during navigation. Only medium and severe traffic events will trigger an alert on the device.

      Please get in touch with automotive support for further assistance or ways to purchase this cable.

    This Garmin works wonderfully stateside but while in Toronto Canada it had problems. I needed to find a gas station and it struggled. Brought me to more than one wrong place. Finally found one on my own.

    The Garmin Drive 53 5 inch GPS performs well, but has some issues that make it uncomfortable to use, such as high-pitched female voices, and the inability to install a low-pitched male voice.

    I love my Garman, The voice command works incredibly well. The picture and lane detail on the right was a big help in maneuvering around the high speed areas around Norfolk. I would have been lost without it.
