The Navman S50 3D UK is one of the new navigation tools to be launched into the market this year. The navigation system on this device is the same as the predecessor, with a few software improvements. Performance wise, there is really no difference as the Navman S50 3D UK performs as well as the original S50, thought maps on the Navman S50 3D UK are slightly more up to date.
One feature that makes the Navman S50 3D UK better than its predecessor is that the landmarks on this device are displayed in 3D. This means that you have a better view of what’s going on in front of you as the terrain that you are on cannot get clearer.
The Navman S50 3D UK is not very portable as it measure 19.4 mm thick. This is not such a disadvantage as the device is designed to be used as an automotive device rather than a portable personal tool anyway. On the downside, the Navman S50 3D UK does not come with an external antenna socket or even an earphone socket. This is quite a strange omission as the device is large enough to hold 10 of each of these!
The Navman S50 3D UK comes with a rubber mount that you can use to attach the device to the screen. Navman should have worked on this as the mount is pretty fiddly and feels quite unstable even after it has been attached to the dashboard.
Picking up the GPS signal was easy using the SiRFstarIII GPS receiver. The InstantFixII technology allows you to pick up a satellite signal as soon as you switch it on. On the downside, the Points of Interest facility was disappointing. It only covered a few local shops, restaurants and petrol stations.
