    I have never had a GPS unit before. My Uncle had one for his trip down here from Idaho and said it was great, so I decided to get one. My first trip that I used it for was a trip to the MWD main office in Los Angeles and from there to the Catalina Express in Long Beach. It worked flawlessly. At fist I wasn't sure if it would work or not, but I'm a true believer in the Garmin GPS unit.

    This GPS is super user friendly for anyone who is not tech savvy like myself. I had no trouble setting it up and using it immediately for my family vacation. It also showed me pictures of ramps and exits that I needed to take which was unbelievably helpful. This like the GPS for dummies! I cannot say enough how helpful and reliable this GPS is. I would reccommend it to anyone looking for a new GPS.

    This unit is better than my old Nuvi 260. It has a nice wide, easy to read screen. I like the feature of showing the highway sign and lane assist. The one drawback is that it only allows one via point in the active route. When trying to do a complex route, this can cause confusion until one realizes what is happening.

    I bought this because it was reasonably priced and I wanted something that wasn't too terribly complicated. It exceeded my expectations. Its easy to use and just as easy to update. I just plugged it into my computer and it updated maps and didn't require that I an endless list of questions.

    This gps works great, and doesn't take up a lot of room on the dash. The lifetime update of the maps is great especially with the roads changing as much as they do in North Dakota. The battery could be better but mine is plugged in most of the time anyway.

    This GPS unit replaces an older Garmin that did not have lifetime map updates. I have always preferred the Garmin GPS over the maps on my smartphone. I like having the dedicated unit while on the road without having to refer to my phone. This has a nice size screen and with the map updates, you can't go wrong. Best Buy offered a great price at the time!!

    The Garmin Nuvi 52LM is a wonderful unit .I travel to a lot of places I've never been before, with the Garmin Nuvi 52LM I just plug it in and go. Between the split screen displays, the speed limit display and the ease of operation this unit is well worth the cost. Throw in free map upgrades for the life of this product and you cant go wrong purchasing the Garmin 52LM, enjoy!

    I had a Tom Tom that drove me crazy trying to find a GPS signal whenever it started. Garmin doesn't seem to have that problem, my discontent with this unit is it takes longer to recalculate if you miss a turn. I like the fact that it has lifetime map updates, and it worked straight out of the box. A little more customization would be nice, specially with the choice of voices.

    Love this little Garmin GPS. I travel several times a month and always take it with me. It's easy to use, has current information, features that allow different views and levels of sound, saves addresses, and even tells me where to eat out wherever I am. Definitely worth the money rather than paying $11 a day for a GPS with my rental car.
