Must have for buisness travelers
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.

Love it
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.

Very Good NAV Unit For The Price
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.

C550 Review
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.

Love the Garmin!!!
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.
