When I click :Home:, it has no idea where I live. When 100yds from our bungalow the voice asks me to do a u-turn. Several streets before it asks me to turn right which would be ridiculous. On the A1 I am constantly told to take the 2nd.ex at theit roundabout; there are no roundabouts where I travel. When new roads are constructed to bypass cities I am asked to take a ridiculous route. Tapping in the postcode is easy. Sometimes it has proved to be excellent but I would not recomend the S50.

A good all rounder but they need to sort out the windscreen fixing as it will not hold to the windscreen after 1.5 hours on the journey, also the battery needs to be sorted as the fully charged cell dose not have a good run time. and will not hold its memory on stand by for more then 3 days from fully charged, on another note as I have perchest the NAVMAN I think all maps and camera upgrades should be FREE other then these hiccups, I wound buy another NAVMAN.

I have had this unit for 2 years now. It went through a period of locking up a while back but not done it for a while now. The unit locks itself to the screen very securely and really takes the stress out of driving in unfamiliar areas telling you what the next junction will be and how long until you get there as well as ETA in distance and miles etc. on a big clear screen. The 'back on track' and post code search are brilliant. There are various map display options including zoom in and out.

Just take a moment to read the handbook, tell it to avoid toll roads or narrow lanes etc and if you want more or less motorways etc. You can really fine tune it if you take the time.

Shame they don't do a Greece (Crete) map though.

The Navman S50 map updates are not necessarily available. Mio won't recognise your product key. 'Navdesk' rejects software Service Pack update

In my opinion one HUGE problem is the safety alert subscription its RUBBISH. I have had ONE update from Navman S50 in 5 months. Customer service keep telling me to check my spam filter ect ect.I have asked for my money back on several occasions or someone to contact me. I would not trust this one inch!. TOM TOM was great so will be buying one of those.
On the whole the unit functions ok and is easy to use. I still dont trust it gets to where you want to go using the best route as it was routing me around my town when I was 200 yds from my house.

Should have got a Tom Tom. It can ' t work out my home address; it seems to think we live 7 houses away. Can ' t enter house names. It has roads missing from the UK map. On one map it has three houses missing. Those have been around for about 500 years.

Excellent value for money. Bluetooth Calling, Touch screen function is excellent, Size of screen and ofcourse 3D pictures.

The Navman S50 is a fantastic product; for those willing to read the manual and understand how to use the unit before diving in; it is a great product, offering the combination of a outstanding price bundled with good looks, easy use and a trusted brand that has provided quality sat nav for years.

Potentially best on market let down by faulty in car charger and Navman's customer service is really poor. Software wouldn't work on vista
Unit wouldn't sit when in cradle
Screen kept defaulting to European options every time it restarted
Sat nav returned to shop after 1 week.
