Review on Garmin ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Nuvi 50LM GPS Navigator by Jamie Rogers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really hear it!

I had several GPS navigators that family members e.g. B. my children, leaked. They were fine but I could never hear what they were saying even when the radio was very low. It stinks when you drive long distances. Just received this and trying to get mail out of the mailbox in my truck. I know it sounds weird, but my mailbox is almost 1/4 mile from the end of my driveway. I turned on the radio at normal volume and thought of an imaginary place to go to watch it. It has a volume control which I turned up but actually had to turn it down because it was too loud! Introduce! I ran this test straight away using the included car charger. I then took it home, plugged the included USB charger into my computer to continue loading, registering and updating the maps. First he updated the firmware. and then the maps were updated. The map update took almost 2 hours over a DSL connection. It's a little shocking that there have been so many updates and how long it has taken. I think at some point I will have to use a micro SD card. The site itself didn't seem intuitive (user friendly) to me personally, but I was eventually able to navigate it to update information. The 2 hour update definitely gave Garmin enough time to fully charge :) I like the idea of free updates, but I don't understand how long they define as "the usage time of your Garmin device". I'll have to take a look and update my review. The quick start guide also states that if you register your Garmin within 90 days of purchasing satellites, your device "may be eligible for a free map update". Not sure if this is on top of what I think is three per year or if these are models that don't have free "lifetime" updates. It's a very good size to see well and definitely loud enough. I don't think this one will let me down.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
