Garmin - StreetPilot c550 — 

I love my Garmin.  So many times I could have been lost but it has always found my way out of messes.  I am a truck driver that takes me into tight situations of traffic.  I just plug this little baby in and away I go.  So portable and convenient.  I love the different colors on it that shows me where the rivers and train tracks are.  Yet so simple to use.  Just plug it in, do a few touch screens, type a few words (love love the auto come ups where you don't have to put the whole word in), takes you right tot he front door.  Very clear to understand plus shows it, PLUS spells it across the top what to do!!!  Very hi-tech to me.  I'm not a real hi-tech person but this has got to be one of the top of the lines for a person like me.  Now if the satellite's would just get updated more often.  It has only failed for me twice.  Luckily I had phone numbers to call and they both told me they aren't even listed on the 911 because of the satellites or State or County not being caught up.  Don't get that but sounds like someone isn't doing their job.  Get up to par please so we people that need these conveniences of Garmin can help us better.  The only thing I would try to change is I think it would be awesome if you could program in to go from one address to another to another to another all at one time.  Well..........not me but my fiance' would like to program in all her garage sales or shopping areas that she is going to in one day and would like the Garmin to set them up in order for her to cut her driving time in 1/2.  lol  All I can say, is buy one if you don't have one.  This is a nice gift for someone who has everything.  If they don't have on already. lol  Oh yeh the suction cup could be a little different.  Sometimes it falls off the glass.  Probably my fault though since it doesn't do it all the time.  hehe
