Advanced Wireless and GPS Technology
At the heart of the StreetPilot c550 is a high-sensitivity WAAS-capable GPS receiver by SiRF that provides outstanding acquisition times and the ability to maintain a strong signal under heavy foliage and near city skyscrapers. This means you'll always know precisely where you are. Meanwhile, an automotive-grade, sunlight-readable, 2.8 x 2.1-inches (WxH) anti-glare TFT LCD touch-screen display offers easy readability. With dimensions of 4.4 x 3.2 x 2.2-inches (WxHxD), and at about nine ounces in weight, the StreetPilot c550 features a streamlined design that will fit easily on any dashboard with the included vehicle suction mount. The unit also features Garmin Lock -- an advanced anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific four-digit PIN or take the unit to a predetermined location.

The StreetPilot c550 also includes Bluetooth technology integrated with a microphone and dual speakers that lets you make hands-free mobile phone calls on a compatible Bluetooth wireless phone. You can view incoming calls on your c550, and simply tap the screen to answer. Just speak into the built-in microphone while staying focused on your driving. In addition, you can retrieve and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or the phone's call history log. You can also make calls from the more than six million points of interest database -- which includes hotels, restaurants, stores, and much more.

Another feature unique to the c550 is its integrated traffic capabilities. The c550 includes the GTM 20, an integrated FM TMC traffic receiver with a free three-month trial subscription (for U.S. customers only). The GTM 20 notifies you of traffic conditions, construction and weather delays, and automatically suggests alternative routes. The navigator also comes with preloaded maps of North America and includes automatic routing, 2D or 3D map perspective, and turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names -- making navigation as easy as it gets. An included MP3 player lets you enjoy music from your digital collection while you drive, and an included SD memory card expansion slot means that you can load optional software, such as language and travel guides -- making travel even easier and more entertaining than ever.

5 out of 5 stars Must have for buisness travelers   October 10, 2008
Sean Benson
This is my thrid GPS and by far the best so far. The thing I like over the others I has was the flexibility when searching. If a street has more than one name (eg Aurora here in Seattle is also known as highway 99), this system has both. Meggelan would only have one of the other, whcih was a major flaw.


5 out of 5 stars Love it   October 10, 2008

This is the 2nd Garmin i have bought for myself and absolutely recommend them as the best GPS around. I have also bought a similar streetpilot for both my parents and they love them too! One note- the traffic adapter is also a car charger so don't buy any additional chargers unless you really need to have a second one. Also like the bluetooth integration for my phone. Only con is that the battery life is a little short so you defintiely have to charge this more often than some others i have had in the past.


5 out of 5 stars Very Good NAV Unit For The Price   October 6, 2008
Michael E. Miller (Bothell, WA)
Garmin Streetpilot c550 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
I was first exposed to this unit when I rented it with a car on my trip to San Diego, CA. No instructions were included so it was plug in, push "Where To?", and follow the simple, easy instructions. I also connected my cellphone to the Bluetooth feature in a very few easy steps. Piece of cake!!
The sound from the speakers was ok, understandable but a little tinny.
The map display was readable even in the desert sun on I15 east heading
towards Las Vegas.
When I returned from my trip, I promptly ordered one. Although I have a NAV system and Bluetooth in one car, our other car does not so it is used for both purposes in that vehicle.
I also will have it for use when I rent a car again and I wont have to pay $12 to $14 a day for NAV rental.
Very good price and easy to use.
I had an issue with a free updated 2009 map download and tech support was able to help resolve the issue.
I do recommend the dash mount as it is illegal to mount this unit on a windshield in CA. Must have something to do with radar detectors, I believe.



4 out of 5 stars C550 Review   October 6, 2008
F. Wilson (richmond, VA)
Pricing was great. Product functioned very well, as designed. An abundance of features for the price. Hands free speakerphone was a pleasant surprise. Incoming calls ring in the GPS, giving you the option to answer and talk back. The screens are easy to follow. The bluetooth directory is a another great feature. The unit speaks the name of the street so you don't have to take your eys of the road. Just a reminder that no MAPS are perfect and neither is routing. Sometimes seemed to route the long way around. Might require some settings tuning for best inner city routes. All and all, a great value.


5 out of 5 stars Love the Garmin!!!   October 6, 2008

This is my second Garmin since they are so user friendly and anyone can use them, I have stayed loyal to the brand. I purchased this second one for my husband who now uses it to go everywhere. I should mention he has a GPS built into his cars and prefers to use only the Garmin.
