Garmin - nüvi 50 5" GPS

i was looking for a 5'' gps to replace my old nextar snap5. i do alot of research on everything before i buy it,this gps is the best deal i found,the lifetie updates on the other garmin models im sure work good,but im a truck driver and ive never had a gps longer than 2 years,and at 119.00 thats a steal! the interface is way better than my 2 year old nextar so if you spend the extra money for the lifetime update model in a year or so your stuck with a old interface,as in a year from now there will be something newer and better than this.so how does this one work? awesome,very fast to recalulate you,great POI,and for us truck drivers it has a ''truck stop'' feature...great gps i have no idea why other people are complaing about not getting a cord. cord for what? you open the box,turn it on it updates and your ready to go,touchsreen is great,get one

Overall I like the Garmin. Nice large screen, lane assist and speed limits are new from my last garmin I had. But the operation and features all work the same if not easier. Only thing I find different from my old garmin is the power. This one is a micro computer plug at the back. If you leave it plugged in attached to your windshield all the time no big deal, but if you put it away every time, like me, then it is hard to find the spot to plug in if it is dark. I like the old garmin, I just snapped it in the holder and power was connected in the holder.

i got this for my Daughter she works and runs a Boys and Girls club and takes lots of feild trips and has fond this to be a GREAT help i got this brand for her after seeing my Girlfriends work i just got the bigger screen we pluged it in write out of the box and it worked great had every thing we needed

After having to return 2 of this model due to malfunctions (I'm guessing Best Buy got a bad batch), I am happy with this unit so far. Really like the option to see speed cameras ;)

I bought this for my fiance when it was on sale on Black Friday. It's a very nice sized GPS (previously had a 3.5 inch Garmin), so the size difference is amazing to us. The user interface and maps are nice and easy to see/read while driving.

Overall this a good product but it could be a little cheaper. The recal when going in the wrong direction could stand some fine tuning.

Worked right our of the box for about 10 minutes. I entered an address and it calculated way faster than my previous gps, about 5 seconds! Love the screen size and ease of figuring things out, like changing settings. The keyboard is snappy quick with larger keys and I tested specifically the keyboard responsiveness to my finger and every character I touched, it typed each correctly/accurately. This product is definitely worth the money! Finally, no more u-turns and making calls for better directions...This is works as it should! Sure, there are features that it doesn't have that are great, but for the price, buy this one. It will get you where you need to go and is especially great to give to your guests and new drivers who want to sight see and make it back to your home or where ever! I purchased this at a great sale price.

Not as nice as built in,but works great. It was a gift for someone and they were excited to have it.
