 Very Mediocre November 3, 2007

I bought one of these as my first satnav for my first car. Ive used my dads garmin c510 loads before i got this and i loved it, i genuinely felt confident just going out anywhere with the garmin it never fails to impress. The navman s50 is packed with features some of which arn't that great, the phone function requires you to reconnect and pair a device everytime you want to use it which takes a long time, i thought it would be more just have the bluetooth on your phone turned on and off it went but i was wrong. You end up not using it because its too much hassle to set up.
I think they have tried to make this device too complicated, the user interface is ok but not great, sometimes quite complicated to find poi's near where you are. Also the touchscreen is not great, sometimes you press it and its fine but other times it registers the press and does nothing, sometimes the interface seems very slow.
Its also just got me lost too many times, ive only had it a few days and its tried to take me down two dead ends and if your making lots of turns in inner city driving the screen takes a while to update. also the voice commands for a turn are very late.
The best thing i can say about this satnav is the thing that attaches it to the windscreen very solid design!

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.

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.

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.
