Customer Rating:      Summary: navman s50 Comment: i've recently bought a navman s50. i've found it to be reliable and very simple to use. i've not yet read the instruction manual and in all honesty there isn't much need for one. the sat nav itself calculated routes quickly and if you manage to take the wrong turn it redirects you with ease. the built in bluetooth handsfree set is great, no need to clutter your car with electronics. all in all a quality piece of kit for the price.
Customer Rating:      Summary: I'm Sold! Comment: Navman S50 Satellite Navigation Unit With UK & Ireland Mapping
I bought this item back in April but really haven't had a chance to test it properly until last week when we went on holiday to Alnwick (from Aberdeen). Guided us perfectly there and back and also on trips to Holy Island, Bamburgh, Rothbury, The Metro Centre in Newcastle and to Durham with only one slight detour.
Recalculation of route is very fast and it has lots of nice features. Very pleased!

Customer Rating:      Summary: Sitting on the fence Comment: To be honest it took me an age to narrow down what I wanted re sat navs. Bit the bullet with the S50 and in all honesty I don't know how I coped without it. It's very good indeed. The only slight niggle is that it takes a while to boot up but then I have been told that this is the norm, so it reflects my impatience perhaps. The menu system takes a little getting used to..almost like going from nokia to sony ericsson phones. Overall though, no regrets.
Customer Rating:      Summary: bluetooth not compatible Comment: Brought this sat nav system because I wanted the bluetooth application for handsfree driving. I sat for ages waiting for the navman to connect with my phone (sony ericsson p1i) but this would not happen. Took the navman back the next day to replace it with a tomtom go 520 (albeit £50 more expensive) which connected to my phone in seconds.
Apart from this the navman looks to be a ok nav system.
Does feel cheap though.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Very nice piece of kit Comment: First review on amazon but thought I should add a review for this product.. Got this little beauty for my dad at Christmas and it really is a great job. I wanted something that was easy to use and very intuitive. The gps works very well and recalculates routes very quickly should you not follow the recommended route. The added extras like speed camera database, Places of Interest, Nearest Fuel and Parking options make this a really nice product. Another important feature is the window mounting - this is so solid and strong. I had originally looked at the tom toms but so many people recommended the navman. I think the previous reviewer was a bit harsh so I would really recommend buying this product.

Navman S50 (UK & Ireland) - Great Design. Clever Technology.
Design is in the detail and the S50 features superb looks and clever technology inside and out.
With a pixel-perfect, huge widescreen, maps look crisper while text is clearer and the intelligent Day/Night display makes the S50 even easier on the eyes. You can navigate to pictures with the built-in NavPix technology.
Route Traffic overview gives you an updated snapshot of your whole route, complete with any hold-ups on the road ahead. And Bluetooth hands-free calling and a handy Mileage Reporter clearly make the S50 a safe, smart choice for personal or business use.
With detailed 3D maps for United Kingdom & Ireland, and hundreds of intelligent and simple to use features, the S50 is ready to go straight out of the box.
