I would recommend this to a friend Disappointing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Garmin is worth every dime I paid for it. The navigation system in my car uses starlink and I wanted to find an alternative and this fits the bill.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for use on an extended European roadtrip -- to Italy, Spain, France, UK. Had to make a separate purchase of European road maps directly from Garmin -- but the mini card slipped right into the unit! We depart in mid-February with confidence we'll be able to find our way.

Not the ideal GPS!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GarminProductExpert
Posted .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.
