Garmin - StreetPilot c550 Review

I absolutely love the Garmin Street pilot  I think it is one of the best GPS's on the market.  i have tested other GPS's and they tend to not be at reliable.  The way I mean this is they will tend not to tell you the exact street that you are suppose to turn on.  Say I am suppose to turn in 500ft on Shelby dr.  The Garmin will tell me exactly that.  Like I said I have tried out and have seen other GPS's both in rental cars and from my friends have owned.  Most will tell you to turn in .05 mi and I dont know about most people but it is hard for me to gauge .05 miles.  And they normally dont tell you the street that you need to turn on.  Plus there is the added fact that you can just type in restaurants and it will tell you all the restaurants in your area.  I have personally used this feature to find out where the zoo is, or a musseum.  I absolutely love that feature.  Also with the Garmin street Pilot, when you start to put in an address it will help you fill the rest in.  This has come in all sorts of handy, not just concidering that sometimes I am not completly sure of the address, but also that is sames a lot of time. 

The only draw back I see with this devise is that it has to be mounted on the window, creating a blind spot, and the fact that it commonly falls down when I am driving.

Other than the few minor, problems it is a wonderful product.  I am glad I own one!
