    I am loving my new portable gps. Only issue if a road is down or closed then it has trouble automatically rerouting before on coming the road issue.

    This Garmin works well- but is not as "helpful" in making suggestions on longer, vacation travels, as my phone travel app. I have wanted something that is good around town, and this fits the bill. No need to mess with my phone, which is dangerous and now illegal in Michigan.

    My twenty-year-old Garmin had to be replaced. In addition to giving directions, this new one has additional features I like, such as showing what towns are ahead, how many miles, and what amenities they have (gasoline, food, etc.). I am still learning to use it, but I like it.

    I purchased the Garmin Drive 53 to replace a Garmin GPS that I have used for over 10 years. The Drive 53 is a perfect replacement for my previous unit. I often travel alone in in unfamiliar areas with heavy traffic. The voice prompts are precise and timely. I would recommend this GPS to anyone in need a small transportable unit

    Terrific replacement for Garmin Nuvi, which lacks sufficient memory. Garmin Express made transfer of saved locations from old Nuvi to Drive 53 EASY! Alerts (speed change, school etc.) big help. Easy to add foreign language.

    Bought this to use when in remote with no cell service. Worked great in western Montana & North Dakota when phone GPS went blank. Also helpful in picking better routes than Apple Maps sends you.

    This is the same as my old one, only sleek and new. I actually love that the old, familiar format is, reliably, there. No learning curve, just plug and play. Works great.
