Garmin nüvi 50LM Portable GPS: Instead of trying to view maps while you drive or recruit a friend to act as navigator, let this portable GPS guide you to your destination. It features text-to-speech and turn-by-turn voice prompts that audibly provide directions, so you can keep your eyes on the road.
What's not so great: No live traffic updates with this model.
Garman has a great product line, and this model has high reviews. This was the main reason I purchased it. The super sale for $99 was the best price anywhere..even amazon couldn't beat it! The only thing it did not do that would have been nice, was the live traffic updates. For most of the driving I do daily, I couldn't see spending another $65 just for this feature. This would be a must in higher traffic areas such as the Bay Area. Get the next model up. Overall, It's simple to use, very clear and easy to read display. Quick to program. Very user friendly.
This product has... Large/easy to see screen, Easy menus, Free map updates
