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.

## 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.

**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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well but can be buggy at times
*by H***R on December 25, 2024*

I wanted a handheld GPS to use on trips without having to rely on my cell phone. 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.
