GarminDrive 52 UK Mt-S 5 Inch Sat Nav with Map Updates for UK and Ireland, Live Traffic and Speed Camera and Other Driver Alerts

First class sat nav, as expected from Garmin has everything I need to get from A to B plus much more . Easy to set up and use and at a great price. Would rate this Sat nav highly, good size and clear easy to hear information. Very happy !

Quick and easy to order and does the job.

Finds satellites and gets position VERY quickly - a big improvement on our previous satnav.This is a fairly basic model; there's a single (perfectly acceptable) voice, and no facility (that I can find) for uploading lists of favourite places, waypoints, or points of interest.When entering a destination, you choose between either postcode, or town/street. It asks for town, then house number, then street. But if you just need to get to the town centre, there's no way to do that; it needs a specific street name, though not house number. So you have to guess for likely town-centre names (High Street, Station Road, Church Street etc), which when you're just trying to navigate town-to-town is a bit of a pain.The screen seems overly-sensitive to touch, so scrolling is very difficult; it keeps interpreting the touch as a click; same problem with zooming in/out.But, the navigation instructions are clear, and a big improvement on some systems. I'd personally like to see two turns ahead (i.e. arrow icon not just for the next junction, but the one after too). There are a few occasions when you can get wrong-laned because of adjacent junctions, but it will often give some hints (e.g. "take 3rd exit toward Sometown") so you can use street signs to assist in some cases.Unlike previous satnav, its battery will keep it running for about 20 minutes when not plugged in, so it's possible to setup routes etc from the comfort of indoors before plugging in.There are no bells and whistles on this, but "it does what it says on the tin" and does so simply and clearly.

If you realise that it needs charging in a wall charger, a kindle plug type will do, before you start things would be a whole lot better. Maybe a note to that somewhere in the box would be helpful.The instructions are useless.Charge it fully, attach it to the computer, download the interface and then up date the software. Easy peasy but not if you try it out of the box with the unit uncharged.It's a nice unit, large screen, excellent mount , again, instructions would be nice but hey ho.Wish I'd bought the Bluetooth one that takes handsfree calls now.It's good but pay a bit more if you can to get Bluetooth.

First time I have ever purchased or used any Sat Nav!! Did lots of researching reviews before going for the Garmin, it worked perfectly. Once received, I made sure I went online to upload the latest European maps, thereafter I toured Europe for three weeks, driving across the Netherlands, Germany Switzerland, Italy, the Island of Corsica, France, England and Scotland and never went wrong once. The maps and graphics were clear and easy to follow and there was always clear voice instructions, in plenty of time, before making any manoeuvres, quite simply I could not have successfully done such a long adventure without a Sat Nav; suffice to say I am now a complete convert!

I find this very easy to use. It more or less leads you through the process. However, the first time I used it I was in Hampshire- I live in Dorset- I put in my postcode and for some reason it took me east. I pulled over and put in my postcode again, thinking maybe the mistake was mine. It still took me east. In the end I had to program it to take me to someone else's place in my village and then take it from there.I future I will not automatically trust it.

Great sat nav, has helped me travel to a fair few places now. Easy to use, good volume, clear instructions. Also alerts you to changes in the speed limit which I find useful. Sometimes gets speed limits wrong but I guess it’s difficult for sat navs to keep up with changes. I would recommend this to anyone needing a new sat nav.

Have been using for 5 months now - so far so good. Never used any fancy features and neither used it abroad - just put the post code and it works. It does work out the traffic dynamically as well. So all in all, a good buy for the price.

We used this for navigation.

Best bang for the buck + huge upgrade for my 8 year old tomtom

j'ai repris la même marque vu la satisfaction qoe j'ai eu du précédent
