  • Good basic GPS. Online info about features is confusing.
This is a very good basic GPS. However Garmin's online documentation is a mess. It's hard to tell what its true capabilities are. So to clarify .... What it can do: - Point to point navigation. The database of addresses and POI's is comprehensive and easy to use. The touch screen works very well. The display is bright and resistant to glare, much more so than my phone. - Custom routes: You can build custom routes in Garmin Basecamp, Komoot, or various other software packages, then export them to the device as .GPX files, using Basecamp. Some notes on this: 1. It's possible to connect the Drive 53 to Garmin Basecamp even though Garmin's documentation says you can't. 2. When navigating a custom route, every time you miss a turn or otherwise go off route, the Drive 53 will recalculate, but instead to the shortest route, not back to the custom route. You'll need to open the Routes function and reload. A 3 click process. Considering most GPS software (Google Maps) doesn't even allow custom routes, I'll accept this inconvenience. What it can't do: - Connect to the Garmin Drive app on your phone to provide traffic info and voice control. The Garmin online manual and an online help video explicitly say this is possible and provide instructions on how to do it, but it's not. I can only guess this capability used to exist and they removed it to lower the price point. It is available in the Garmin DriveSmart 66 and above models. Other quibbles: - The ball to ring mount is tensioned with a snap ring. There's no screw collar or other provision to tighten it down. On rough roads the unit gradually tilts down and has to be periodically repositioned. I'm concerned this may get worse as the mount wears. All in all for the price it's a good unit. The custom routing feature is much appreciated. Just understand what you're getting. ... show more

  • Great GPS!
The Garmin Drive™ 53 GPS Navigator has been a wonderful addition to my car. It is a great GPS even if it is not so big, but it is functional, other brands has so many non useful feather, but this one is great GPS. I love it. The screen is bright and easy to read, even in sunlight, and the directions are clear and accurate. I really appreciate how simple it is to use—just turn it on, type your destination, and go. The lane guidance and timely alerts make driving smoother and less stressful, especially in busy areas. It also updates quickly and reroutes efficiently when needed. Overall, this GPS is reliable, user-friendly, and perfect for anyone who wants a dependable navigation system without distractions. I highly recommend the Garmin Drive 53! ... show more

  • This unit did exactly what I needed it to do. No problems.
I had a wedding in upstate NY in a place I had not yet visited. I got driving instructions but felt that the Garmin would make the trip easier and I was correct. Garmin talks, knows where it is, knows where it is going and is relatively unobtrusive in doing its job. Two-hour drive, didn't have to slow down or squint for road signs. It did everything but drive for me. It was even more useful on the return trip. ... show more

  • GPS For Law Enforcement
Purchased this GPS to assist with navigation and environment orientation while operating as a municipal police officer. Worked flawlessly, and accurately displayed street names and locations. My favorite feature was the display of the nearest cross-street, which was invaluable in knowing my location for calls. ... show more

  • Works well for 6 years until the internal battery started going dead.
It works well but I don't understand why Garmin forces us to use their internal battery. My car has 12VDC. I understand there are other uses like walking etc. but this is a way Garmin is obsoleting their units after 5 years. They could put a little switch on it but that would be sales negative. I had to replace a perfectly good Garmin because of the internal low battery condition. Memories today are non volatile so that should not be an issue. ... show more

  • Not as easy to mount/unmount as my older Garmin.
I have an older Garmin that died. Physically installing and removing the old unit was MUCH better than the 53. When I put the old GPS into the cradle, the power connection is made. With the 53 the power connection is a separate step. I have to plug in the USB cable. And reverse when removing it; remove the GPS, then unplug the unit. This is a step backwards in ease of use. The mount for the 53 is NOT made for easy dismounting and storing the GPS out of sight. The old unit was easy to dismount, press a button and tilt the unit out of the cradle. The 53 is not as easy to remove. Upgraded my rating once I figured out HOW to unmount the unit. Not as bad as I had thought. ... show more
