nüvi 50's intuitive interface greets you with two simple
choices: "Where To?" and "View Map." Touch the screen to easily
look up addresses and services and to be guided to your
destination with voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions that
speak street names. It comes preloaded with maps for the 49
States and Canada. nüvi 50’s speed limit indicator shows you how
fast you can go on most major roads. With its "Where Am I?"
emergency locator, you always know your location. It also comes
preloaded with millions of POIs and offers the ability to add
your own.
Now there’s no more guessing which lane you need to be in to
make an upcoming turn. Available in select metropolitan areas,
lane assist with junction view guides you to the correct lane
for an approaching turn or exit, making unfamiliar intersections
and exits easy to navigate. It realistically displays road signs
and junctions on your route along with arrows that indicate the
proper lane for navigation.
