The S50 is the next step up from the Navman S30, offering some more features and a recommended retail price $100 more than the S30.
Navman devices as a whole are generally considered to be the leaders in the GPS/satellite navigation market, and while the S50 is a solid performer, it's up to you to decide if the handful of extra features justify the recommended retail price of $499.
The two main features that the S50 has over the S30 include a wider screen and Bluetooth connectivity. Both these features are useful but not necessary - it you want just a basic unit that will get you from A to B, then the S30 will suit just fine.
Another inclusion is NavPix, which lets you navigate geotagged images that you've downloaded off a PC. This feature is quite cool but not really necessary.
In terms of GPS performace, the Navman S50 does well. However we're not sure that it really has that much more to offer over the S30 - if you want a fully-featured GPS unit, you might be better off looking further up the Navman range.
