Review: Great 2nd GPS for our car - We have several older Garmin GPS's and love them, except when we have to update the old ones. This new one is better!! Much Better. You can update with through wifi and it updates in just a few minutes, not hours like the old ones. The display is nice and bright and works by touch or voice and connects to your mobile device via bluetooth so you can enjoy hands-free telephone calls. Review: A Good Resource to Have Onboard - I knew nothing about Garmin till I used this Garmin Drive 52 for the past two weeks. To be clear, I suspect they offer more advanced features on the upgraded devices. I still need to explore the settings where I can tweak the routes results, I suspect. In regard only to my experience so far with this entry level Drive 52, I find it kind of like running an old Atari video game. I'd almost consider this a good toy for a preschooler these days. I guess that means it's easy to use. Having said that, this Garmin Drive 52 has gotten me out of a couple of jams, and for that it deserves 5 stars. There are too many new roads, highways and addresses being built in Florida for the Garmin updates to keep up. With completely updated maps, this device does not know where to go, a lot. It will take you to construction zones and closed roads where the Google option is smarter. But, again due to the growth, there are certain areas I just can't get connected to a cell tower to start the GPS signal on my smartphone. So, moral of the story, no brainer to carry this inexpensive navigation device as it will help you out of a jam once in a while. Overall, I like it a lot. It compliments and provides certain helpful tidbits and features. But the voice instruction is sometimes slow to evolve and adapt and does not give enough heads up to make a turn on occasion. Bottom line is, if driving professionally, you need multiple options on board because when you don't know where you are and the navigation shuts down, better have a map downloaded to your device and a compass. When the data runs out on this Garmin it's like the whole world melts away, like when I drove to the northern newest ends of one of our ever-expanding highways down here. Updating the maps with the most current data is easy enough through an app on your computer with the provided cable for the purpose. I have more peace of mind, hundreds of miles away from home, with this Garmin Drive 52 onboard than without, so I definitely recommend. ## Features - 5” GPS navigator with driver alerts and travel data.External memory storage: This USB mass storage device is compatible with Windows XP or newer and Mac OS X 10.4 or later..Control Method:Touch.Special Feature:Touchscreen. - Easy-to-use 5” GPS navigator includes detailed map updates of the U.S. and Canada - Simple on-screen menus and bright, easy-to-see maps - Garmin Traffic is ready to use right out of the box — without use of a smartphone - Road trip-ready with The HISTORY Channel database of notable historic sites, a U.S. national parks directory, TripAdvisor traveler ratings and millions of Foursquare points of interest (POIs) - Included Components: Garmin Drive 52, Vehicle Suction Cup Mount, Vehicle Power Cable, Usb Cable, Quick Start Manual ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07MMZNLHG | | Additional Features | Touchscreen | | Audio Output Mode | Mono | | Battery Average Life | 1 hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,406 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #57 in Car In-Dash Navigation GPS Units #60 in Vehicle GPS Units & Equipment | | Brand | Garmin | | Built-In Media | Garmin Drive 52, vehicle suction cup mount, vehicle power cable, USB cable, quick start manual | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Control Method | Touch | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 4,382 Reviews | | Display Type | WQVGA color TFT with white backlight, resistive touch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00753759211776 | | Human-Interface Input | Touchscreen | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.5"L x 0.8"W x 3.3"H | | Item Type Name | Car GPS | | Item Weight | 13.6 ounces | | Manufacturer | Garmin | | Map Types | City Tour, Street | | Mfr Part Number | 010-02036-06 | | Model Name | 010-02036-06 | | Model Number | 010-02036-06 | | Model Year | 2018 | | Mounting Type | Suction Cup Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Operating System | Windows | | Resolution | 480 x 272 | | Screen Size | 5 inches | | Special Feature | Touchscreen | | Sport Type | Snowboarding | | Supported Satellite Navigation System | GPS | | Touch Screen Type | Resistive | | UPC | 753759211776 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Car | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Mono - **Battery Life:** 1 Hours - **Brand:** Garmin - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Included Components:** Garmin Drive 52, vehicle suction cup mount, vehicle power cable, USB cable, quick start manual - **Map Type:** City Tour, Street - **Model Name:** Garmin 008-04-0713 - **Screen Size:** 5 Inches - **Special Feature:** Touchscreen - **Vehicle Service Type:** Car ## Images ![Drive 52, GPS Navigator with 5” Display, Simple On-Screen Menus and Easy-to-See Maps - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rQE1UDWiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: For the DriveSmart 55 and 65 models, do they come with free Lifetime map updates?** A: This is a paste from Garmin's website: Garmin has removed "Lifetime, Free, and Unlimited" from the description of our map and traffic updates and other services. This has been done to streamline the naming of our products and services. If your device includes "M", "MT", "LM", or "LMT" it will continue to receive map updates without being charged. If your device includes "Traffic", "LT", or "LMT" it will continue to receive traffic content without being charged. The dezl OTR500, dezl LGV/OTR700, dezl LGV/OTR800, dezl LGV/OTR1000, Garmin Drive 51 EX, Garmin Drive 61 EX, Garmin DriveSmart 55 & Traffic (EX), Garmin DriveSmart 65 & Traffic, Garmin DriveSmart 65 with Amazon Alexa, Garmin DriveSmart 65 Traveler's Edition, Garmin DriveSmart 71 EX, Camper/RV 780 & Traffic, Camper/RV 785 & Traffic, Camper/RV 890, Camper/RV 1090, CamperVan, Overlander, Tread, and zumo XT devices receive map updates and traffic without being charged. **Q: For garmindrive 55, does it have us&canda map? does it have speed camera & red light warning ?** A: Yes, the Garmin Drive 55 includes mapping of the United States and Canada and has Red Light and Speed Camera warnings. **Q: I just purchased a smartdrive 65. i already have a gtm 60 hd digital traffic receiver. is there an advantage to use it with my new 65?** A: I use the GTM 60 with my DriveSmart 55 and it works wonders. nearly as good (and in some regards better...) than WAZE. Now, even though the DS 55/65 comes with built in traffic, thats only the standard traffic, for the HD traffic you need the GTM 60. And yes, the HD is much much more up to date and detailed. Safe Travel everyone! **Q: Does this come with the Traffic Cable?** A: The cable that comes in the box with the GPS should give you traffic. Mine does. We live in the sticks so we only see that when we head to more urban areas, which is very rare. Cattle crossings don't show up! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great 2nd GPS for our car *by M***S on January 8, 2025* We have several older Garmin GPS's and love them, except when we have to update the old ones.

The Garmin Drive 52 fit my price point, and I also know that Garmin is one of the leading names in the navigation industry. I figured it was worth a shot to try. The navigation system does work however it's not the easiest to use. Typing in an address can be a nightmare at times. It is almost like the keyboard is stuck or does not register the letters I am selecting. I have been given wrong directions twice- it sent me in a big circle- randomly changed my directions to head back to the location I was leaving and sometimes cannot even connect to the satellite to get me directions. Do not get me wrong it has also worked flawlessly on other occasions. Glad I made the purchase but could definitely use some improvements. Maybe if I had more money to spend on one of their higher end products, I would not have these issues. I still trust the Garmin name. ## Frequently Bought Together - Garmin Drive 52, GPS Navigator with 5” Display, Simple On-Screen Menus and Easy-to-See Maps - 1Zero GPS Suction Cup Mount for Garmin [Quick Extension Arm], Replacement GPS Dash Ball Mount Dashboard Windshield Car Holder for Garmin Nuvi Dezl Drive Drivesmart Zumo Driveassist DriveLuxe RV - GPS Charger Cable,Mini USB 6.6ft Universal GPS Charging Cord with Voltage Regulator Module 90 Degree Angle Mini USB Power Wire for Garmin GPS Navigator Drive 51 65 Nuvi 50lm 2555lmt 2595lmt 40lm 1300 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/106470388-drive-52-gps-navigator-with-5-display-simple-on-screen](https://www.desertcart.be/products/106470388-drive-52-gps-navigator-with-5-display-simple-on-screen) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
