Updating your Garmin before use.

I used my Nuvi 50 after I purchased next day, had been driven from Warragul to Melbourne city to Geelong and go back. It's dead while I was driving for few times. I need to pull over to reset my Nuvi 50. I am very disappoint because it was wasting me a lot of time.

Slow

My prior Nuvi 255 updated speed nearly instantaneously. This Nuii 50 is much slower. If you change speed, it will not catch up to the actual speed for several seconds. It's a problem if you're setting cruise control or busy watching traffic. On the other hand, "Points of Interest" is expanded.
Pros:
  • Large Screen
Cons:
  • Slow speed update
