Ratings & Reviews Garmin - 50LM - 5'' Touchscreen (with Free Lifetime Maps)

The Garmin 50LM is a great product. I am using a GPS device for the first time. I found the build quality to be solid. Setting up the product is quick and easy. Navigation is clear and simple. I am yet to check the battery life and the navigation during long drives and unknown places. The only challenge I found was to find a place in map as the names are not rightly spelled. Road names and building/locations are not named correctly.

An excellent GPS Navigator for a Car which connects to satellites within no time and guides you to your desired Route. It is very easy to operate. The only minus point is the Company has not provided the product with a room charger & a USB cable which is needed to update the software via internet.

to be quick,,the build quality is very good for an entry level Personal Navigator, the menus are easy to understand and it functions ok. We have an Indian English accent to choose from which is welome. The street names are more or less corretly pronounced. However, as it can be understood, using maps in India is not very easy. Finding an address in this navigator is no easier than finding it on our own. :-). There is no real search functioanlity to search places by keying in. We need to go through the points of interest. If we dont know the right menu, we are lost. Finding a street name in just one or two steps is not possible whatsoever. This funcitonality (similar to what we are used to in Google Maps) is a must in India. If we are able to read and understand the maps in the device correctly, we can mark any spot as favourite. Till date, i did not find any mistake in the routes determined. It was able to bring me out from unknown places within the city quite easily. :-) Summary...we cannot expect the typical failities we get from the recent Google Maps navigation for India. However, it solves simple purposes like coming back home or going to well known localities or spots.

Require USB power / data card in the box. Also A/C charger to be included. Without these the product is not adequate. Though these can be purchased separately, if they are included, the purchase shall be completed at one go.

This works just fine and loved the free lifetime updates on this. Only issues are lack of USB cable and AC Adapter. Luckily my older Garmin's USB cable came in handy, but the AC adapter isn't compatible. However, one may not really need both since hooking it to the computer will charge the battery as well. I haven't yet found the time to put it through acid-test, but it does take particularly long to latch-on to the satellites. But once it does, it's stays well connected. Although the battery life is on the lower side (~2 hrs. at best), it isn't a major concern since we'd anyway be connecting it to the 12 V supply in the car (the cable connector is provided with the GPS unit) Will update this review once I've had the time to test it well...But for now, it does look like a worthy purchase and well worth its price-tag.

Had researched this in the offline market and found the cheapest price on Snapdeal. Great product at the price ! Fantastic hardware and is expected considering its imported. Maps are not as detailed as MapmyIndia but it has free lifetime maps so I am not complaining. Buy it - You wont regret !

Easy to use. Looks are ordinary. Quite expensive.
