Navman S50 3D

By James Holland (electricpig.co.uk)

No matter how hard we try to convince you satnavs are sexy, nobody really believes us. But Navman, with its S-Series navigation boxes sporting a flashy silver surround and brushed metal backing, is really trying to bring sexy back. Maybe that S stands ...

Menus are easy to get around. 3D representations - ooh! It's cheap

Unresponsive touchscreen grates

We like almost everything about the Navman, especially the price, but it's let down by that flakey touchscreen.

Navman S50 3D

By (fwd.five.tv)

Weighing in at 190g and sizing up at 79x139x19mm, the Navman's user-friendly satnav, the S50, packs in a 4.3-inch touchscreen, a SiRFstarIII chipset, 512MB internal Flash memory and an SD/MMC card slot. Navman's also thrown in integrated Bluetooth, ...

Navman's much-vaunted NavPix – really just geotagged low-res snaps – are outdated in the age of the iPhone. We didn't like the voice commands either, which came a little late, especially when negotiating inner city routes

Useful features (Bluetooth, safety cameras, full postcode search) just about outweigh the gimmicks (NavPix) in this decent budget satnav choice.

Navman S50

By Voltron66 (cnet.com.au)

I would not recommend an S50. Unless you have a fair idea where you are, you will often find yourself wayy off course before it figures out the route.

Big screen.

Dodgy bluetooth, check your phone before purchasing an S50. Inaccurate touchscreen. Very unhelpful support system, Screen breaks very easily, especially considering how annoying it is because you would need the patience of a saint not to want to "punch" s...
