A: Yes, the audio directions are very clear and concise. They even tell you what lane you need to be in before you get to a turn.
A: Yes. My GPS, out of the box, was loaded with maps. But they were not the most current and I did preform a map update. That took about 20 minutes with a high speed internet connection (50 Mbps) through an Ethernet connection. If used with my outdated wireless 1.5 Mbps connection, the map download was estimated at over 3 hours.
A: Besides screen size (6" vs 5"), the LMT-S uses a "smart phone" with appropriate downloaded Garmin App for traffic updates. The Garmin Drive 50LMT includes a dual power / antenna cable for traffic updates and does not use a smart phone. (Some reviewers state you could purchase the dual power/antenna cable for the LMT-S, but they don't seem happy about it.) Note that the "smart phone" traffic updates are probably more real time than the "antenna" version. I personally don't want to tie up my mobile phone and use the Garmin Drive 50LMT model.
Q: does this update when plugged to computer or do you have to use smartphone which i don't have
A: Yes it updates via the computer
A: It is not voice activated but you can select your choices from simple menu options.
Q: can the audio directions be shut off?
A: Yes or just turn the volume down to zero
Q: What modules would be needed for maps of Italy and other European countries ?
A: Any of the Garmin City Navigator® maps will work with this model, including City Navigator® Europe. Please see the Garmin Support Center article for information about purchasing maps for other countries: https://support.garmin.com/faqSearch/en-US/faq/content/rXctos6esD91rGB0suajE7 http://bit.ly/2j64mEc
A: I'm not a tech whiz, but it receives updates in real time while plugged in. Your phone is not involved.
