I have the navman s50 3d which is the 15th sat-nav/gps device I have owned. What attracted me initialy was the cheap price and the 14 multi drop destinatons you can input (I am a multi drop delivery driver). However, I find the touch screen entry of addresses a nightmare to do with the wrong letters being selected quite often (even some being from a couple of inches away on the screen!) Of all of the sat-navs I have used with my job this one only finds about 60% of the streets in my town that I enter (town is over 60 years old with only a few streets that have not been here that long!) This compares with around 95-98% found with all of the other sat-navs I have owned.
The navman has bluetooth which enables connection to a suitable mobile phone my iphone 3g initially refused to connect but after an update for the phone connection was established and works well. The microphone built into the navman is a bit on the quiet side with engine noise being a problem drowning out your voice unless you shout a bit.. reception volume however was loud and clear.

The navman has an SD card slot which you can store geo-tagged photos (geo-tagged photoes contain information about the location the picture was taken for navigation to that location)

The navman has safety camera alerts preloaded but I have yet to have it work for me despite several working and long established cameras in my area (my Garmin sat-nav finds them)

The windscreen mount for the navman is a bit fiddly to set up but once in place the unit connects to it easily

Welcome to Ciao. Nice (if a little brief) first review, with some good information.

So much more information you could have on this product. If you substantially update please let me know and I'll be happy to take another look with a view to re-rating. Thanks

If this is to be a full review, you'd explain how the nav tool works and be more detailled than just saying what are its bad sides. If you update, let me know and I'll re-rate. Radka
