Customer Ratings & Reviews

I replaced a Garmin that was at least 10 years old. Love the larger screen. However, the new unit has not responded on a couple of occasions, and I’ve had to reboot. Hope it was just an anomaly. The pricing was very good…much less than I expected.

Love the graphics the picture and directions are right on point

Great product. Very easy to use. I plugged it and off I went. Straight to where I wanted to go.

I needed to replace my GPS which I have had for years in my 2014 car. Garmin was what I had and was very comfortable using so that is why I purchased this item. I needed to make sure it would work with my older car so I needed the box opened because the display model did not show how it was to connect with my car. The associate was very helpful in solving this problem and I was able to use it immediately.

Works great. Occasionally it won’t reach satellites but almost all the time you’ll be able to know where you are and get directions.

Took a 4k mile trip and was invaluable. It was accurate and easy to use.

Easy to use. It starts up and responds quickly to the touch. I prefer to use this for navigation instead of my phone.

I was the perfect buy but unfortunately it stopped working for me shortly wright after I purchased it and I didn’t pay for the warranty for things like this. But other than that, like I said it was a perfect buy and everyone should have this one.

This works so well. Easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone.

The Garmin Drive 53 is a solid choice for U.S. drivers who want a simple, dedicated GPS. Its bright 5” display, clear directions, and helpful driver alerts make navigation easy without relying on a smartphone. Setup is quick, and preloaded U.S. maps are accurate and reliable. However, address entry can feel slow, and live traffic data isn’t as robust as phone-based apps. Map updates require a computer, and the interface feels basic compared to newer devices. Overall, it’s a dependable, distraction-free navigator for everyday U.S. travel.

I very much like this product. It works even better than I thought it would

It is more expensive than the previous one I owned and does less. To start with, it cannot be connected to the phone, which is a major inconvenience. Furthermore, it does not show the best route and once it could not give directions while I was driving; it just showed where I was driving but no directions to my target address.

This unit is excellent - it performs exactly as billed. This is my second Garmin unit - my previous model was 12-14 years old. The advancements in the technology are amazing. I am very pleased with this updated version. I also like the option of mounting it on the windshield.

This Garmin GPS seems to work correctly. I haven't had much of a chance to put it to use yet. The display is bright and easy to read. The voice is loud enough to hear over the radio (provided the radio is kept at a low volume). My only problem is that Garmin still refuses to have its GPS units use Bluetooth to transmit its voice directions like a cell phone does (muting the radio channel while the cell phone uses the radio). I don't know why Garmin refuses to implement this much needed feature. You could play the radio at whatever volume you like, and the GPS would mute the radio when needed. C'mon Garmin, do better.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and reasonable price. It is just the right size for me also.

Worked great! Used it once, to get to a wedding. Was easy to use and to set up.

Old school technology that works great for me Easily sets up and gets you where you want to go

I have had a Garmin for several years. My first Garmin is larger than the one I just purchased I found that I needed to have the new Garmin as a back up for my new car. My car now requires my phone to be a part of the GPS system. If my phone is not working, I need to have a reliable GPS system and this Garmin fits the bill.

This item works great. Previous models...not so much.

Great product. The item is already set up with gps system maps. All you need to do is plug it in and drive around for it to calibrate and you’re good to go!
