Description
The Garmin Drive™ 53 is a dedicated 5-inch GPS navigator that keeps you on route without draining your phone battery or interrupting your music and calls. Its bright, high-resolution glass capacitive touchscreen is easy to read and quick to operate with simple pinch-and-zoom menus. Garmin Real Directions guidance speaks clear turn-by-turn directions using street names, businesses and landmarks, while driver alerts warn you about sharp curves, speed changes and school zones ahead. Along the way it surfaces food, fuel and rest stops, upcoming cities and Tripadvisor® traveler ratings, and a built-in U.S. national parks directory helps you find entrances, visitor centers and landmarks. Preloaded North America maps with free updates keep it ready every time you hit the road. (This is the base model and does not include live traffic; see the Drive 53 & Traffic for that.)
