Helpful Driver Alerts for Your Daily Commute
Garmin Drive 50 GPS navigator provides driver
alerts to encourage safer driving and increase situational awareness.
Warnings include alerts for sharp curves, speed changes, railroad
crossings and animal crossings. Additionally, Garmin Drive 50 notifies
you when driving the wrong way on a one-way street and sends warnings
for nearby school zones. Receive alerts for nearby red light and speed
cameras³, and be prepared for sudden halts in traffic with upcoming
traffic jam alerts. For longer drives, a fatigue warning4 suggests
break times and potential rest areas after hours of driving. The Up
Ahead feature lets you easily see places up ahead and milestones along
your route, without leaving the map view.


Free Lifetime Traffic Avoidance
Garmin traffic gives details about the situation, such as how many
minutes of delay to expect and if there are any possible time-saving
detours. It can even confirm whether or not you are on the fastest
route. Lifetime traffic entitles your Garmin Drive 50 to receive free
traffic information for its useful life, with no ads and no subscription
fees. Garmin traffic is delivered straight to your Garmin Drive 50 — no
smartphone needed.

Guidance Using Recognizable Landmarks
Garmin Drive 50 redefines “spoken turn-by-turn directions” with Garmin
Real Directions™, easy-to-understand driving directions that guide like
a friend, using recognizable landmarks, buildings and traffic lights
(e.g., “Turn right after the red building” or “Turn left after the QT”).
It’s preloaded with millions more new and popular places, thanks to
Foursquare.

Find Exactly Where You Need to Go
The Direct Access feature simplifies navigating to select complex
destinations, like airports and shopping malls, by finding a place
within a larger location. Direct Access even navigates through parking
lots to find the entrance nearest your destination. When navigating to
the mall, Direct Access gives additional location information for
specific retail stores inside. For example, “Arriving at Woodfield Mall.
Anthropologie is inside, on the upper level.”

Easier to Search, Quicker to Find
Garmin Drive 50 has a search field that makes it easy to find addresses
and millions of points of interest (POIs). Simply enter a category (like
“pizza”), an entire address (“1234 Sycamore Lane, Anytown, USA”) or a
proper name (“Starbucks”), and Garmin Drive 50 quickly returns your
results.
Add a Camera to Your Drive
For a complete navigation solution, Garmin
Drive 50 pairs with the BC™
30 wireless backup camera (sold
separately; professional installation recommended). Once connected, you
can easily see vehicles, pedestrians and other obstacles right on the
Garmin Drive 50 display, as you move in reverse.
