What's Hot

Stylish design, compact window mount, vivid interface, keyboard says letters out loud, preloaded speed and red light camera alerts, Bluetooth handsfree, NavPix

What's Not

Re-routing times are a little slow, no text-to-speech, no built-in camera for NavPix

The Final Word

The S50 adds Bluetooth handsfree and NavPix for a reasonable price. Although there is no camera to take NavPix photos, it's still a useful application.
