Smokin’ Deal: Garmin Nüvi 50LM 5″ GPS with Maps for $99.99
If you don’t own an in-vehicle GPS yet, you should strongly consider getting one. By routing you efficiently to your destination, a good GPS can save you time and save you money (by burning less fuel). By fixing your precise location, a GPS also performs a safety function should your vehicle break down or should you have some other emergency.
Here is a smokin’ deal on a very fine GPS, in the new, larger 5″-wide format. Right now, on Amazon.com you can get the Garmin Nüvi 50LM 5-Inch GPS Navigator with Lifetime Maps (USA) for just $99.99. This unit, the #1 – selling GPS on Amazon.com, features a big 5” (12.7 cm) touchscreen, spoken turn-by-turn directions, and more than 5 million points of interest (POIs). With the price of gas these days, the Garmin Nüvi 50LM can pay for itself in a few months of use.
NOTE: The $99.99 Amazon deal is a special promo price that may not last long — you snooze you loose! Right now, this same unit sells for $120 at Walmart, $140 at Fry’s, and $163 at Sears!
Free USA Maps Updated Four Times a Year
At just $99.99, the Garmin Nüvi 50LM is an exceptional value because it includes Lifetime Maps for the USA. This entitles you to FREE map updates up to four times a year, as long as you live. Along with the pre-loaded map data, this unit ships with: vehicle suction cup mount, vehicle power cable, USB cable (for synching with your computer), and a Quick start manual.

I have this one and it’s excellent. The map upgrade is worth $40.00 each time you use and is a big help as restaurants and such are always changing. Its a good idea to download the latest maps as soon as you get it. Also thinner and lighter then the old ones so it stays on the suction mount better. AAA+
Your Editor just purchased one of these. I like it better than the $170.00 Garmin I’ve had for the past three years.
– Screen is larger.
– Unit boots up faster and connects with the satellites faster.
– Maps scroll and update much faster. This is quite noticeable.
– Volume range is better. It can be set loud enough to hear over the radio with windows down now.
– 12V Power cord plugs directly into unit so you don’t have to fit it into a multi-pin housing first.
– You now can select a variety of outputs on the main screen: ETA, Miles to Go, Travel Time etc.
– “Speedometer” screen is easier to read yet offers more info.
– IMPORTANT: Nuvi 50LM has a true “Off” switch. With my old unit I had to remove battery or it would drain.
– Cost was only $50.00 more than a map update for my old unit!
– I was easily able to add the latest maps (for free) by logging on to Garmin.com and running the update program.
– When I ran the updater, I was also able to add new voice choices (including Brit and Australian voices) and custom icons for free.
