Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros 1 - Very crisp and sharp display. 2 - Sturdy built 3 - Love the magnetic mount. No more fiddling to mount the GPS. I use Garmin friction mount for this and not windshield mount so not sure if it vibrates (read few complains on this) Cons 1 - Gets very hot in summer. I live in Arizona and it's so hot that you cannot touch it to unmount. 2 - On a cloudy day, it did not lock satellite signal for almost 40 miles of drive. Not acceptable. Hence deducted a star. 3 - Did not find a way to avoid tolls in my Navigation settings. 4 - It has just 200 MB space left after updating software (maps) ... not sure if that's enough for future (lifelong) updates. If you need a GPS ... I recommend this.

Purchased this to replace my old nüvi 360 which ran out of storage space for map updates. I picked it up just before my 1,100 mile drive to Florida, and as much as I loved my 360, this one blows it out of the water. Everything is amazing - information about your next turn, lane guidance, speed limits, live traffic, speed/red light camera warnings, speed limit change warnings, railroad crossing warnings, and much more. I love it.

I got this GPS as a replacement when my previous Garmin had problems with the traffic cable. I looked at Garmin's website to see which one had the features I wanted and went with this one mainly because of the lifetime map and traffic updates. I like the features in here that tells you about things that are coming up such as railroad crossing, speed changes (downwards), and curves. The voice command feature is useful in case you need to change destinations while you are driving. They've also added other items to the voice command menu such as detours, which is good in case you see traffic up ahead that the GPS feels is not bad enough to cause an automatic reroute but you still want to go another way.

I loved a Garmin GPS that I owned for many years, but this Garmin - DriveLuxe 50LMTHD 5 replacement is light years ahead. I love that it tells me of upcoming curves, schools, red light cameras and even animal crossings. The glass touch screen is extremely responsive and quick. I also especially love the hands-free voice navigation. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I needed a replacement GPS since my new car did not have one. This model comes with traffic included. Great suction cup with magnetic base to hold GPS makes for easy removal and storage. Easy to use and has voice commands. Can connect to phone via bluetooth to make has free and use phone data to access extra apps. Big screen easy to see and very good touch screen.

It works well with touch or VERBAL commands. It is impressive how it shows with lane to be in. It has free maps update and the latest traffic info, even on the not as busy roads. That is impressive. Very few things I would change.

Another great unit from Garmin. The alerts are spot on and not too annoying. Even if you are in an area where the alerts are too much, they can be disabled. One small issue though, it's July in Atlanta and this unit gets super hot. When not in use, I put the unit away. Easy on easy off.

I needed to replace my previous GPS 2589LMT with a newer model. After reading multiple reviews and few Youtubes, I pick this model, and I will say I am very happy. Very nice product, well built, easy to use. I particularly love the Powered Magnetic Mount.

This is my second Garmin GPS, I had an older Nuvi for the last six years but the battery finally died. The Drivelux model has some great features that I like including a better display, voice commands and a link to my smartphone so I can use it hands-free.

This is very useful tool for everyone who drives! Interstate or locally. The system gives very clear directions and tells you about speed limit, hidden cameras and traffic lights. Must have in any vehicle!

I have owned a few gps units but this is by far the best. I love the voice recognition and the phone link setup. It is the easiest and safest unit to use.

Easy to set up. Useful features, such as display of speed limit on road on which you are traveling. Display image is clear and sharp. Voice command works well.

so far so good helps with traffic and I don't get lost any more, just some times it can't pick up my voice correctly so maybe it will improve my speaking then, some times I have to type in the info foe it to work, but over all it is very good maybe one of the best out there to get my car around safely I just it thumbs up and that is great, buy one and see for your self, I connect it to the windshield in my 1997 f-150 and plug it in power 12 volt and I can still see through the windshield great product, I remove it after each use and update it on my desk top, thank you

Does everything you could want. I was hesitant buying because the reviews I read mentioned that the GPS gets extremely hot, although it gets a little warm the extreme heat seems to be from the sun beating down on it. It really seems quite cool during night operation when the screen is darker.

Sync with your phone for live traffic updates, blutooth for your phone, reads your phones messages for a hands free phone experience. Great product.

I've been using this Garmin for a few months now and it hasn't let me down. It lets me know when a curve is coming up and when the speed limit is going to drop. Construction reported as well. I love it!! Graphics are much sharper than my last Garmin!

I went with this GPS from Iowa to Chicago, had a lot of fun with it. It helped a lot with the tons of tunnels over there where usually my phone GPS leave me wondering which direction I should go. I love the phone connect feature too, and the voice of course.

First, setup is quick and painless using a computer. Second, the magnet that holds the GPS unit to the suction mount is the greatest feature about this unit. No more struggling to align the unit into notches. The magnet literally snatches the unit from your hand and aligns it to the mount perfectly... useful if you're driving and need to hook it up quickly. As far as the GPS functionality goes, it's Garmin. It works great. I've been using it everyday for a month and I have no issues with it. Oh, you don't have to worry about plugging the power cable in and out every time as the cable plugs directly into the suction mount as opposed to the GPS unit.

Significantly improved screen quality. The new user interface requires some additional learning, but works well. The voice quality and level of detail in the prompts is greatly improved. Very Happy.

This is a good purchase. I'm happy with the graphics and speed that it comes up with for directions. The screen size is perfect for me. I'm happy with it.
