Garmin - StreetPilot c550 Reviews

I have shopped for a GPS for about 2 years and now found one with lots of great features, easy to use, and a very good price.

Very easy to install, just pop on the dash and plug into the cigarette lighter. Follow the prompts for setting up, this will take from 5 to 15 minutes. Set up your blue-tooth and bam your done.

Price shop for this item as it does vary from store to store. Most stores will match prices so you can buy it at your favorite store.

I researched thoroughly before I purchased the Garmin Street Pilot C550. I purchased it at TigerDirect online for a mere $125.00. It is loaded with different voices and dialects, so you can choose the one you understand best. It is easy to use and the touch screen is great. You can check where you are going step by step as you are driving to your destination. The Bluetooth is great and connects to my phone with ease. I live in a very rural area, and there are more short cuts than I know about. With the Garmin, I can go to one location, enter another location and get there without going out...

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...

Before I had my Garmin c550 I was directionally challenged (I still am, but that doesn't matter anymore).  I have kids that need to go to sporting events that are in places that I haven't ever been before, like out of the way schools, sometimes even in another state.  Now that I have my Garmin I can put in an address or an intersection and it will direct me to where I need to be, even re-routing me if I take a wrong turn or a street that I need to take is closed.  Once I am where I need to be, I can look for a certain type of restaurant or shopping center either generically or specifically and...

I have travelled to several area of the United States and find it very easy to get around with my Garmin.  One of the best functions is finding a gas station on the way back to the airport to fill the rental car before returning it.  After getting to the rental car the first thing I do is key in the address to where i am going and head out.  I have been to San Francisco, Portland and Seattle recently without getting lost.  It has taken me to the address I put in.  I was happy especially in Portland where I thought the freeway system was confusing.  After getting off the plane I could not...

I have owned a Garmin c550 for over a year now. I love it . It gets me anywhere I need to be. The best thing about the Garmin c550 is it also has a blue tooth device that allows me to talk hands free. I loaned to to my elderly mother and she and her friends have been able to drive themselves across country on a vacation they would have other wise not taken. My husband has a nav system built into his car and we both find that the Garmin c 550 is easier to use. It will find points of interest. Hotels by chain of nearest. Places to ear according to location of food type. When it comes to the garmin...
