### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great GPS

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great GPS Unit

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good GPS, but a little misleading
*by R***K on October 16, 2025*

Garmin makes good GPSs, and this is no exception. Compared to some other ones I've seen, this is good because it is not trying to be your music system, or your calculator, or your smart phone - it is JUST a GPS, and does it well. So why the 4 stars? Two things. First off, it is disappointing that Garmin is still using old USB formats for their cable, and they stick straight out from the back of the unit. That makes it hard to mount on the dash, if you are clipping it into vents. They may be expecting that you use their post that suction/glues in place, but I have never had good luck with those. The second is that if you look online, you are going to see stuff that says that the Drive 53 can be updated wirelessly. This is NOT TRUE for this unit. Now, the page doesn't say it will, so Garmin is not lying. However, since it doesn't give much in terms of actual info, and what you find online is misleading... I am not impressed. (Wireless was something I was specifically looking for.) Both of these issues are not major, so I am only knocking off a star. I just wish it was different. Still think it is a good GPS, still kept it. Would still buy a Garmin again. (Even though they are a bit more expensive.)
