I recently purchased the Garmin Drive 52 GPS Navigator and I am beyond pleased with my purchase. It is an excellent device for anyone who loves to travel. The Garmin Drive 52 GPS Navigator is a 5 inch touchscreen device with detailed maps that provide turn by turn directions. It comes preloaded with the U.S. and Canada maps, making it ideal for travelers in North America. The navigator also includes a HISTORY Channel database of notable sites, a U.S. national parks directory, TripAdvisor traveler ratings and millions of Foursquare points of interest POIs .

The user interface on the Garmin Drive 52 GPS Navigator is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. The bright, easy to see maps are displayed on the large 5 display and can be navigated through its touchscreen capabilities or voice recognition feature. Whether you are looking for a specific address or just want to explore your surroundings, the Garmin Drive 52 GPS Navigator will make it simple to get where you need to go.

The Garmin Drive 52 GPS Navigator also features driver alerts that will notify you of any potential dangers or obstacles on your route such as sharp turns, speed traps or school zones so that you can stay safe while driving. Furthermore, it comes equipped with a built in trip planner that allows you to customize your route based on your preferences such as avoiding highways or toll roads, so that you can truly enjoy your journey. Additionally, its battery life is quite impressive at 1 hour per charge and it comes with a USB cable so that you can quickly recharge it when needed.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Garmin Drive 52 GPS Navigator. It has been an invaluable tool in helping me navigate new cities and towns while traveling throughout North America and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys exploring new places by car. Its user interface is incredibly easy to use and understand with its large 5 display and touchscreen capabilities as well as its voice recognition feature which makes navigating much simpler even if you don t have prior experience using a GPS device before. Additionally, its driver alerts help keep me safe by notifying me about any potential dangers on my route while its trip planner lets me customize my journey according to my preferences so that I can truly enjoy my travels without any worries!
