    i have perviously owned a Garmin GPS that was a early 2000s model but the maps where no longer able to update to the latest ones. So i saw this model at a deal price and got it for the well known brand name. First off i have to say it is a good GPS so far even though it had one glitch and i put in a destination to a toys r us and it lead me a block away in front of a random house. Other then that the other times i put it a destination and it got me to the correct address. So i would rate this GPS a 7 out of 10!

    This GPS was easy to use. The home screen has large pictures and descriptions to help you navigate your way through the home screen. My wife used this for her 7 hour trip and it worked great. The only problem she ran into was that it didn't always distinguish between a highway feeder road and the highway itself. There were a couple times where the GPS was slow to respond when she missed an exit because it didn't register her on the highway when she should have been on a feeder road. Otherwise, great GPS.

    For the price- about $80-90 the 52LM is very nice. Fast starting up and lifetime map updates a great help. My first 5 inch screen and it is better than the 4 inch screen that I have had prior to this. The larger size screen makes the plugging of addresses much easier. It doesn't have bluetooth or traffic updates, but I never used those on my other Garmin. This is my third Garmin, and they are all work horses. I think a GPS as a stand alone keeps my iPhone (which does a great job with maps) from heating up and chewing through my data plan. Very good price for a product that lasts years with updates.

    I just upgraded from a 6-year-old Garmin StreetPilot to my new Nuvi 52LM and what a difference! A huge screen, easy to use and not only does it tell me exactly what lane to get in, it shows me a picture of the exit coming up. I drive extensively for my job and this thing is a godsend. And the lifetime maps...awesome!

    I had an older version that died on me. I picked this one because of the price and size but fell in love with the zip code feature. It allows me to find an address by the zip code as well as the city. This is important to me because where I live the same zip code can be different towns or even townships.

    I travel often and have always used my phone for a gps but recently decided that maybe a permanent gps for my car would do. I didn't like the stereo install ones so i figured i would try an external. So far two trips in i am happy to say i havent gotten lost once. Very easy to navigate and control sound or readjustment on route changes. All in all good product.

    I have always bought Garmin GPS's. I prefer a standalone unit to an integrated car one or using my phone. I have owned 2 previous Garmin's and bought this one for my daughter. I like the Garmin for the ease of use and updating. I also liked this one for it's Free Lifetime map updates. And yes, even though it is the lifetime of the unit, I bought a unit many years ago and am still able to update it. Definitely getting what is needed forthe money.
