    Great GPS
    Love my Garmin! In all the years I’ve had it, it never gave me issues. Was easy to set up and install, screen is great quality picture, very durable! I think the screen size is perfect not too big or too small!

    Great GPS Unit
    We’ve used Garmin GPS Units for years and this one was a welcome upgrade. Compact, easy to use and works great in our car. Map update was quick and easy.

    Refurbished And Works Great
    I ordered this because I already have a Garmin in my van. I thought I would be able to use the app for it like I do with the van, but this one does not have Bluetooth. I didn’t realize that when I ordered it. I am disappointed in that. The app is great because I can just easily key in the place I want to go and it sends it to the Garmin.This is a 5″ screen and it seems so much smaller than my 7″. The screen is clear though. The main reason I wanted this instead of using my phone for directions is because it shows how fast I am going and it is easier for me than looking at the speedometer. My subdivision is very strict on the 15 mph speed limit and they do have patrols giving tickets. The speed on the GPS is about a 1 mph off from the radar screens, so it works for me.This is a refurbished Garmin. It looks new. It was easy to setup. I did the update which took about a half hour. It is a touch screen. It works well. I am happy with it and I saved quite a bit by getting the refurbished model.

    Works great, clear screen, good value. Just dont leave exposed to elements in hot car, put away out of sun, cause sometimes does not work till cools down.

    Nothing better than a GARMIN!
    I had a Garmin for many years and had come to rely on it as I got older. One day it failed, as much as I tried, nothing worked. So, I was talked into a “smart phone” for replacing. IT WILL NOT!!! Ordered this, received it yesterday, used it today, I’m a happy senior lady!! I now know where I’m going, my speed, the speed limit, my direction, interesting areas along my route and everything I need to get me where I’m needing to be! Thank you for this wonderful little gadget!

    Garmin is not purchaser friendly
    I have given this only one star, not because of any Amazon issue, but because Garmin won’t even support its own brand-new product. The essence of the story is that I have had 3 prior Garmin Drives for my car over more than 20 years and I have loved them. They give me much more information than my in-car GPS, and the graphics are better. It mounts easily and unobtrusively.I bought the new Garmin Drive 53 expecting various improvements. Garmin uses “Garmin Express” to update the device and download current maps. This commonly takes more than an hour. After 3 attempts, each time with it abruptly ending with the message “An error has occurred…; but with no error number.Garmin will not let me talk to a human without me paying them something, and the Chatbot is an example of poorly conceived AI. Thus, I have had to return this new Garmin Drive and now find that Garmin had prevented me from updating my previous one which I have used every day. I hope the company management realizes what their AI is doing to them—Follow-up a week later of the above. Garmin still has no interest in helping with their products unless they are paid. It was a brand new product. Thanks to Amazon, I got my money back. I hope Amazon is active in following up on Companies that charge to support their brand new products.

    GPS device
    Great navigation tool to have in our new Jeep since we didn’t want to have to use our phone to activate GPS. I like the voice feature and maps are easy to follow.
