    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.

    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 product works great and it is small enough whereby it doesn't take up too much room. It is a great addition to my car and it produces accurate directions.

    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.

    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.

    Drive 53

    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.
