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 I love it!   November 12, 2008
I bought this from wal-mart.com about a year ago and have not had any problems with it. I love this thing! I tried not using it on a trip to Austin, TX, got myself lost, and then turned it on and found my way in a matter of minutes. The only complaint i have is that it sometimes takes a while to acquire the satellites but other than that, it's great! and the bluetooth handsfree feature for your phone works like a charm as well!


5 out of 5 stars Garmin C550   November 12, 2008
A wonderful help as I drive so much on my job. Makes life so much easier!


5 out of 5 stars Great Product that Tells You Where to Go!!!   October 30, 2008
The GARMIN 010-00522-00 Streetpilot C550 GPS Receiver is excellent to WOW! in all respects. The screen is large enough to be clearly visible even in a large vehicle, bright enough for full daylight, easy to program and use and has a lot of extras that are surprising for the low price. These include MP3 and bluetooth phone functions as well as the traffic FM service that is available. I am a tech type person and have harshly evaluated this device and find it excellent. I am buying myself one. The first was for the wife who is NOT a techy and she was able to set it up, punch in addresses and use it with ease..


5 out of 5 stars Great product   October 30, 2008
I bought 3 of these for my delivery drivers. They are easy to use and my guys get directions and a hands-free phone in one unit.


5 out of 5 stars Gets You Where You Want to Go   October 27, 2008
My wife and I recently drove 3,500 miles from Southern California through Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and back home. We had never used a GPS device but wanted to try one, so I researched them online and decided this was a best buy -- $158 for a unit that sold up to $400 just three years ago. It served us well, got us where we wanted to go and for the most part imparted accurate information. When I had trouble downloading the latest maps file, the company was nice enough to send me the maps on a CD, gratis. The only annoyance: getting used to the automated voice announcing "Recalculating" every time we deviated from the prescribed route.
