Style: Drive 52
Pattern Name: Navigator
I bought a Garmin Nüvi 350 about 15 years ago, and it has worked exceedingly well for me. Sadly, it started showing signs of age – it has difficulty acquiring satellites when it first wakes up, it sometimes freezes for no apparent reason, and the limited memory makes it difficult to refresh the maps. And because I’m 15 years older, that screen was starting to look rather small. So it was time for an upgrade. So far, I have been very pleased with the Drive 52. I enjoy the larger screen and the much improved and brighter graphics. Something that I had not been expecting but really appreciate is that I can clearly read the screen when wearing my sunglasses –tinted/polarized lenses made it nearly impossible to read the screen on the Nüvi. Obviously, the 52 is a new model, but it has a lot in common with the Nüvi – so much so that it was very easy to import several hundred ‘places’ saved in the Nüvi. I opted to not use the suction cup windshield mount – I don’t like having something obscure a portion of my vision, and my experience with suction cup mounts is that they are not reliable. It’s all too common to return to a parked vehicle to find the GPS lying on the floor instead of in its normal position – this is especially a problem in warm weather because air trapped under the suction cup expands when heated popping the cup away from the window glass. So the fact that it was possible to mount it using the Garmin air vent clamp that I bought as an accessory for the Nüvi was a welcome feature. I was also able to use the same power cord. That said, there are still a few things that I’m still learning about. Some are minor differences – such as the fact that ‘home’ is stored as a trip planning input rather than in the list of ‘places’ - and some are new features. I especially like the ability to create and save a multi-stop ‘route’ that I can use repeatedly. Wife and I go to a resort a couple of times a year, and this feature means that I can store the route including our favorite stops along the way. Attaching the GPS to an air vent mount in my Subaru Forester also means that it doesn’t stick up above the dash to advertise to the world that there is something in the car that might be worth stealing. The fact that the GPS is just below the dash-mounted radio and CD player isn’t inconvenient in use, and unlike the Nüvi, the 52 seems to be able to receive satellite signals just fine in that position. One disappointment was the error message indicating that the most recent map plus my saved places consumed a significant fraction of the available memory, and suggesting that I invest in a microSD card to expand memory capacity. While I understand that market forces impose limits on what can be included in the base model, one would think that it would include enough memory headroom for a few years of use and updating; after all, memory is pretty cheap these days. I like the chime alert when the posted speed limit is exceeded, but I would prefer to be able to set my own threshold. Especially, in around-town driving where the posted limit is low, the chime sounds so frequently that one could develop selective deafness and start ignoring it. I think it would be better if the user could choose to have the chime alarm at a selected point above the posted speed limit, eg 5mph. One other criticism is that the options available with the Drive 52 potentially offer too much information. The 52 is mainly intended to be a navigational aid for drivers, but potentially it could provide too much information, thereby becoming a distraction to the driver. Frankly, if it were up to me, I would move the route and trip planning features, and all the reference information out of the device itself and into Garmin Express, making Garmin Express a trip planning tool as well as a device management tool.

Most folks by now have a favorite brand of GPS, and I'm no different. My favorite was the one in my 2011 Sonata Hybrid. But, this isn't about a Hyundai product; it's about a Garmin product...and Garmin is my second favorite GPS. Garmin has built itself a reputation and, depending on your experiences, it is either a good reputation or a bad one. For me it is a good one. I am accustomed to the display layout and the functions of the Garmin, so moving on to this model is not about learning everything all over again, but more about learning its updated features. I haven't used the Alexa function yet and may not ever use it. I have an Echo for my vehicle and rarely use it since it requires access to my phone. Until wifi is available for vehicles separately from a smart phone, I will probably continue on without Alexa. Aside from the much larger screen on this unit compared to my previous one, the resolution is much improved. The jaggies are just about non-existent, making the display a real treat to see. This is on a par with the Sonata unit in terms of display clarity, although in most other areas it doesn't quite measure up. One area in which the Garmin is light-years ahead of the Sonata model is allowing coordinates to be entered as destinations for times when you don't know the address. Most GPS units allow this, but Hyundai elected not to. The unit has a nice selection of points of interest that are easy to search through, and they cover a broad spectrum of what is available (though no GPS has the resident memory to list everything). I have really come to appreciate the traffic alerts that Garmin includes for free with their units, alerts that have saved me time on numerous occasions. The lifetime map updates are also nice, though you won't get them on a regular basis and there is no guarantee they are really up to date. I get warnings when I am approaching a school zone as well as warnings when I am above the posted speed limit. I know from past experience that it is possible to get warnings when approaching a traffic camera, too, though I have not had this Garmin long enough to notice if I get those warnings. I used to have to download camera locations from the 'net and load them into my Garmin, so that may still be the case. I will research that. Garmin gives you free software to help you to maintain your GPS, something Hyundai didn't do. I can install updated firmware if it becomes available and, of course, load any new maps that are available. You are free to tell this unit how to calculate a route: fastest time, shortest distance; you can even set up some custom avoidance areas for those times when conditions warrant it. The suction cup mount on this unit is an improvement over the one on my last Garmin, a nuvi 2599. That older suction cup lost its tackiness rather quickly and loses its grip on the winshield in less than a day on the highway. This new unit has a very nice suction cup that is keeping its tackiness and holding the unit onto the windshield tightly with no signs of coming loose. I have to admit, I was a huge fan of the sandbag mounts and used to use them exclusively. I don't know if they are still available, but they were, in my estimation, the best mounts I could buy. Some states don't (or at least didn't) allow windshield mounts due to a fear that a collision could hurl the GPS back into someone's face. I don't know, but it seems to me that in a wreck you would have more important things to consider than a GPS; however, since those states prohibited windshield mounts, the sandbags became almost a necessity. Well, I have covered just about all of the features that I consider important. Saved places, various configuration items such as the icon that represents your vehicle, have not changed drastically and should all work pretty much as before. Calculating your arrival time during a route is still as useful as ever, although this is another area in which my Hyundai in-dash unit was better. The Hyundai calculated an arrival time when I began my journey and that time stayed nearly constant during the entire journey. Not so with the Garmin. It changes as you move on down the road...even if your speed doesn't. The closer you are to the destination the more the arrival time changes. The only times the Hyundai unit arrival time varied was if I stopped for some reason or during traffic jams. This is not a deal-breaker as I have a very good idea of my arrival time without ever looking at the GPS. It's just about differences in implementation. Oh, and for the record, the reason I refer to my Hyundai unit in the past tense is that the car was rear-ended and totaled last summer. I can recommend this Garmin based on my use of it; however, your decision must be based on your preference if the brand you like is producing good units. I don't want to sway anyone into a purchase that might be regretted later on.
