    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the GPS. Some mention that it's very easy to use and intuitive, while others say that it could be a little more user friendly when setting it up initially.

    Customers are mixed about the durability of the GPS. Some mention that it works well, has all of the features working properly, and is mostly useful when it works.

    Customers are mixed about the accuracy of the GPS. Some mention it has a lot of choices for map layout so they can customize to their preference, and the map displays are well implemented. They also love the 3-D map version and the contextual information that Google Maps doesn't give. However, others say that the road reconfiguration info doesn' t always explain accurately how to enter or exit some places, the voice is muffled and often indecipherable, and it results in confusion.

    still a good car GPS but with some drawbacks compared to older Garmins
    4 Stars
    still a good car GPS but with some drawbacks compared to older Garmins
    If you still use a stand alone car GPS, Garmin remains the last strong hold making stand alone units, thus I bought another as my older one is acting up, but I will repair my older one to use as backup as this new one is a step back in some respect. They are also good for domestic rentals, as you can bring presets and customs with you rather than relearning the nav unit in a rental. Garmin also pioneered car GPS, so the UI and design are optimal for drivers compared to free Google maps navigators; I use both when driving. For under $100, Garmins are still a steal. This review is after 1 week of daily road use.ProsComing from a Garmin nuvi since 2010 and 2013, you can functionally do all older unit do and its overall like a slightly bigger and faster version of the nuvi, otherwise the same. However, moving from a 2010 unit to a 2013 nuvi, there were all improvements. But moving from 2013, to 2022 is a step back in some functionsBuild quality is the same, high, since 2010, no longer rubber coated to make it easier to grip, but still worksthe LCD screen has a tighter dot pitch and is clearer, and this unit is larger than my nuvithe touch seems more responsivethe directions are spoken clearly and enunciated with emphasis in critical areas, like when a turn is about to happenupdates online are faster download and install, but work similarly as older unitsGarmin Express is simple and easy to use, and offers more functions now than older versions, see photoable to carry forward my custom POI and locations, moving them from my nuvi to the 52max volume is very loud, and so is brightness to see in full sunlight, I had to tone both down, a good thing, using Google maps to navigate on my phone, the phone is neither loud enough and would be useless if not being able to send the audio the car infotainmentthe newer design mounting clip uses the standard suction cup base, and takes getting used too but it allows me to use other Garmin accessory mountsGarmin has never gotten me lost in 1000mi+ trips, but some detours in backcountry, had some odd round abouts, for a country ride during the day it can be entertaining, at night it can be scary. However, Google Maps has taken me to bad detour routes, so I don't trust it for detours but it great for speed traps, alerts, and real time traffic.Conscustom POI do not migrate automatically, and there are no instructions. Open the POI folder in your older Garmin once the Garmin is attached to the PC, copy the POI to your PC, and remove the old Garmin, attach the new Garmin and drag that POI to the same folder in the new GarminThe color scheme for speed and limit is more bland and less alerting, and there is only one trip setting appearing on the right border, in the older units you could customize it in many ways to maximize the delivery of data on the small screen .. see photoon the fly detour requires up to 4 clicks, compared to one in the nuvi. One to hide the current trip setting, one to bring up the menu, one to select 'route', which is what detour is now called, then clicks again to select how far to detour. Luckily it does do the same thing, but getting to it is very annoying, being able to reroute on the fly when an accident or issue appears ahead of you is a key value a Garmin is for me, and they made it harder to use.The amount of custom voices is reduced, the voice sounds more mechanical and less natural, and is not as smoothly generated, there is a harshness to the voice synthesis, compared to older GarminsThe killer to this model is the battery is only 1 hour, if at all, and mine barely got 15 minutes. Older garmins were are least 2 hours. Even after 1-2 recharges, I couldn't get it to last over 15 minutes, and later returned my unit as defective, and I already reduced the brightness and volume to under 50%. This means if you try adjusting it without the car adapter power, it will rapidly eat the battery down, and it also slowly eats the battery when the unit is off. You can conserve battery power by holding the Power button down until the TURN OFF dialog appears, cutting standby power to minimum. I often started the trip with the unit dead, and it wouldn't start until a minute or two for the battery to charge from zero. I bought another unit and returned my first, and it got 1 hour, but again, its barely enough.Garmin 52 with TrafficIf you live in a well populated place, OTA Traffic has more options than older Garmins and is free and will save you a lot of time in wasted traffic. It uses the same cable as older Garmins that have Traffic. Its plug and play and what I changed my 52 too, and the ads don't say, upgrade maps are lifetime of the unit. It uses as much of the onboard memory as it can, then offloads stuff to the SD Card. For over 10 yrs, Garmins still have a max of 32GB SD cards, and been more than enough for decades. The OTA Traffic has less data than the upgraded model Garmins with bluetooth connect to your phone, to use its data for traffic updates, but reliability of the connection varies with your phone model, while the OTA is trouble free out of box.
