Good Points
Excellent build quality. Easy to use menus.

Bad Points
Not 100% accurate. The windscreen mount is mad and likes to fall off.

General Comments
I've been using my Navman S50 sat nav system now for a few weeks and it's quite good. I've used a few cheap sat navs in the past but the Navman S50 is probably the best. I find the menus easy to use and the signal is accurate enough to be something like within three or four metres.
The only real problems are the crazy windscreen mount - it keeps falling off! Whatever I do and however I do it, it still drops off after a while. I want to find an dashboard mount which I can fasten to me dash.
Also, the address isn't always spot on. Once or twice it's put me 20 or 30 yards away from where I asked it to send me. But it still gets me close enough to see the destination, which is really all it's meant for.
