"Great product, I love the split screen function - able to plan much better in selecting the right lane for junctions/roundabouts etc.
I've only used it once and the only negative I can comment on is that the volume control is within the settings. My previous one had a dial on the outside which was much easier & safer to use."

"This is my first SatNav, and pretty much it's first job was to get me from a car hire place near Barcelona aiport to a remote hotel in Andorra - it passed this test with flying colours!
I found it a bit tricky to register and download the stuff needed to keep it updated, but I got there in the end."

Pros: reroutes very quickly if you miss a turn
"I bought this item for my daughter who has recently passed her driving test and got her first car. The Garmin Nuvi 50LM is a great piece of kit, and very simple to operate, it has all the features you would want in a satnav for a higher price - when you look at some other brands!! My daughter particularly likes the "help at difficult junctions" option on this model, Updating was easy and quick, had no problems on the pc, and the lifetime maps (4 updates a year) is a great bonus, saving over £70!!!!! In short fully recommended, has all the maps you could need for UK and round Europe. Not much more to say!!"

Pros: pinpoint accuracy
Cons: tends to slip off the dashboard if not firmly fixe
"Tried it out on a trip across the UK with some complex street directions needing to be followed. Worked like a charm. A terrific add-on, especially for the lone driver with no navigator alongside. Very accurate and copes well with a driver's sudden change of route."

Pros: detailed line guidance
"I bought this because TomTom wanted over £50 to update the maps on my old troublesome TomTom and decided it was better to upgrade to a Garmin with lifetime maps.
The device is simple to use. The screen is clear and the lane detail is a wonderful addition that you won't find on a smartphone GPS.
I purchased it for a holiday in France and it has been fantastic. Our cottage was well off the main roads but we found it easily by entering GPS coordinates. It has made driving in France so much simpler.
It's a great device."

Pros: basecamp good. careful it won't load routes tho', wide screen, clear audio, good quality
Cons: poi loader didn't load - bit of a waste of time, no routes, no mention of 'no routes' in specification
"Taken a week or so to get used to the features and it should be fine now but I was within an inch of taking it back to the store . . . It doesn't allow you to create or import a 'route' that you wish to use. I can't imagine why anyone would want to manufacture this in 2013 - like buying a black and white tv. Might be better off spending a few extra pennies to get the routes.
Technique: 1) Plan your exact waypoints in advance 2) Where to? Key in destination 3) Then key in all the waypoints. 4) Off you go...
I've had one daytrip using this method and everything went smoothly. Very impressed with the ride."
