  Excellent Product

  I had purchased a Sat Nav product from another company, it only worked once and I had nothing but problems so returned it. I also bought one for my Daughters Birthday at the same time, she rang the other day and told me she is also having problems. I decided to go to the GoodGuys tp look for a Garmin GPS. The staff there were very helpful and having looked at a few reviews on the product I decided to purchase it. It was on special of which was a bonus. I am now considering buying a Garmin to replace hers, I am so impressed on the ease of use and the easy installation. It also comes with some excellent software that has some great features including Map updates. I genuinely recommend this product for anyone looking for a high quality GPS navigation system .

  Pretty good

  It is a good Sat Nav GPS for the price point. wAs able to price match. Does not come off easily from the holder. Sticks to windscreen well. Good for kids who are on their Ps and can't use their phones for navigation - for older cars that don't have built in sat nav

  Remembers where it is after tunnels

  I was so grateful I'd replaced my (dead) 13-year-old Garmin with 'a real GPS'. I recently upgraded my radio to include a reversing camera, 'modern buttons', and a GPS. (Turned out - that GPS is 'all on your phone' - even the manual was confused on that point!) In Sydney tunnels, the phone GPS not only disconnected, it forgot where it was, and led me many kilometres astray. The Garmin GPS didn't forget, and led me to the address by an efficient route, albeit without traffic updates. I find it, and the 'digital speedometer' - and the warnings of speed-limit change and upcoming red-light cameras - useful. I chose this one to 'fit the slot' and 'cheaper'. It works. Also: (My 4WD off-road GPS also died, a bit earlier) So: Where there is no mobile reception, a phone GPS is only marginally useful. However, this Garmin Drive 53 and other GPS will give a precise grid-reference. Combined with (free, in NSW at least) 1:20,000 or better topographical maps downloaded to a portable PC, all but the most extreme 4WD exploring needs can be met. I looked at replacing the old off-road GPS with current offerings and was less than impressed. The above solution is a little clumsier, a lot cheaper, and adequate for my needs. The GPS alone is about a quarter the cost.

  A nice GPS

  It's the latest update on a good format, my Nuvi 2589 from 2014. The drive 53 is 'the same' , but faster and smoother. Also in my account, I was able to transfer my addresses and data. The price is virtually the same as the 2589 was, all those years ago. 200-and-something :-) $289 I think, this time.

  Great GPS with a lot of Features at an Affordable Price

  This is a great little thing that I purchased recently. It has many features included. It has touchscreen, smart search, wifi and bluetooth, phone app. It can be mounted on the car screen with the supplied hook, as well as sit on the dashboard on a saddle (purchased separately). Most of all, it is less power-hungry - so you can use a separate cable to connect to a multiport USB connector that you can use in the car cigerette light port. It includes fatigue alerts, speed limit change alerts (for example, if the speed limit is going to change in the next turn). It can be manouvered with the phone, so I guess while on driving if anything needs to change, then another person in the car can use the phone to alter the requirements. I am very happy with this purchase.

  A nice GPS

  It is to replace my lost Nuvi 2589 from 2014. It is nearly the same and is smoother and faster to respond. Same vivid colour. Easy menu and insertion of waypoints.

  Reliable and up to date maps

  This is the 3rd and best GPS that I've purchased. My GPS recognizes where my son lives which is in a new estate. It not only lets me know when I am speeding but it shows me the speed that I'm doing even if I'm not speeding. The screen is large and clear and I am given enough time to get into the correct lane when I want to turn. Best of all it shows me different routes that I can take for the same destination letting me know the distance and time that it will take to get to my destination.
