What's great about it: Screen size, lane assist, very fast
What's not so great: Lane assist assumes HOV lane in some cases
Got this GPS on sale to have a 2nd for the family. It's definitely better than the other Garmin Nuvi that we have. No complaints othe than the lane assist assumes left lane exit (HOV lane) and if jot in that lane, can cause an expensive issue.
Great GPS for the money!

Easy to use from the box. The price was right. This GPS does what it is supposed to do; enough for my wife to know where she is and where she is going without offering too many needless options to add complication.

What's great about it: Easy directions for map download
What's not so great: Not many car models to choose from
I purchased the 50LM 5" GPS with Lifetime Map Updates. I love the screen size. It was replacing my older model, which has a smaller screen and wasn't updated. I would have had to pay for the update, which would have been fine, but for the deal I received at Best Buy, I purchased this model and I've been very happy with it. It has most of the typical settings as most Garmins have, but with this one I noticed if you go over the speed limit it will then show your speed in red along side the actual speed limit in black. It also shows a side screen view of the exit that you will take which helps in avoiding too early or late of an exit while driving. I also downloaded a voice to it. It's a male voice and he's not very chatty compared to my last Garmin lol. He just tells you where to go and is very to the point. Which my husband likes as well. My mil loved the deal so much, she had me pick one up for her as well. Now the only thing that bugs me, but is no big deal really, is that with my old Garmin it was pretty much on the mark when the speed limit would change. With this one it's a little off, but I mainly need it for directions not notifications of the speed limit, so no biggie. It will get it right eventually anyway.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy interface, 3D view
What's not so great: Voice assistance is annoying
Its a good value for price, I have used this for about a year now and the map locations are almost pin point. Although I must say the voice assistance is a bit annoying at times. Re-routing also works perfectly well. Good buy if you are looking for a new GPS and within a reasonable price.

LIKE:
-nice screen
-clear voice
-freeway lane indicator (actually works well!)
-quickly locks onto satellites
-easy to use for the most part
-smooth map scrolling
-mount works pretty good
-good price for what you get
DISLIKE:
-no voice to tell you it's "re-routing" (annoying!)
-sometimes the stop navigating icon disappears and the only way I can cancel a route is to re-boot
-sometimes when exiting a parking garage it can't find satellites, have to re-boot
-sometimes it thinks it's daytime, have to re-boot
-sometimes it takes too long to find the simplest category search for destination (ie Disneyland!)
-when typing there is a delay to what you see on the screen
-simple things like changing volume or brightness should be much easier
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
