Sat-Nav units have a great secondary use as speed/safety camera warning systems. Probably the best speed/safety camera database is the PocketGPSWorld database which can be installed on most sat-nav systems. Unfortunately the maximum user installable point capacity of the Navman S series units like the S50 is less than the number of cameras in the database. So the database can be used, but not in it's entirety. Some camera types must be left out e.g. mobile cameras which is not a very satisfactory solution.

i have one of these and would not recommend itfor the following;

1) out of date maps.

2) appalling routing - b and c roads at first chance, longest in time and distance routes.

3) battery life of 45mins - 3 hours quoted.

4) no support - not by email and they have a premium phone number.

on the plus the interface is not bad and it is quite accurate in its positiponing once you are there!

Despite some niggles, however, the S50 3D is a usable and effective navigation device and one that's particularly good value for money. It's unique - as far as I can tell - among sat-nav's this cheap (£111) to feature a 4.3in screen and its business directory search is another feature that sets it apart from other low-cost navigation devices. More importantly, it beats the disappointing TomTom One V4 and just edges in front of the Navigon 2100 as the best budget sat-nav around.
