TECHNOLOGY
The Garmin Streetpilot C 550ability to maintain a strong signal under heavy foliage and near tall buildings or built up areas. This means you'll always know exactly where you are- great if youre prone to getting lost like me! The 2.8 x 2.1-inches (WxH) anti-glare LCD touch-screen display is easy to read- i find it easy to read even in very sunny conditions. The overall dimensions are 4.4 x 3.2 x 2.2-inches (WxHxD), and it weighs about 9oz. It fits easily on the 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 your own four-digit PIN number.
The Streetpilot also includes Bluetooth technology integrated with a microphone and dual speakers- this enables you to make hands-free mobile phone calls on a compatible Bluetooth wireless phone. This means you can concentrate on keeping your eyes on the road!
The Streetpilot will also tell you about traffic conditions that could delay you and automatically suggests alternative route. It comes fully loaded with maps and you can update these online also.
The battery runs for eight hours- if it does need recharging it is easy to plug in whilst in use.
PRICE
We bought ours for £199, but prices vary greatly.
MY OPINION
One day i set out to visit a garden centre around half an hour from my house. Annoyingly i nearly reached my destination when i got lost. I ended up having to do a three point (or more like six point!) turn on the edge of a farmers field, still finding myself lost afterwards. I got some big frowns from the farmer. I eventually found the garden centre, but was nearly half an hour late meeting my friend. A while later we purchased the Garmin Streetpilot C 550- from that day i had never got lost. I just follow the hightlighted routes and turns to my destination. I love the way it tells you your time of arrival. It has made driving a pleasure and im not afraid to drive anywhere new. I really recommend it as its easy to use- it stores your favourite places so youve got them ready for next time.
Advantages: small, good screen, easy software Disadvantages: may be a little late to warn you of lane changes or exits.
I've owned the Garmin Streetpilot for a while now and used it many times.
The unit comes with a holder and suction cup which can attach to the dash or the windscreen and the power cable is plenty long enough to reach the cigarette power socket. The Street pilot also has a SD card which can be updated with maps from the internet.
The screen is quite a good size and touch sensitivity is responsive and acurate. I've never used it for speed camera ... ...lane or overtake etc. The Garmin Streetpilot doesn't do this so if you're stuck in the left hand lane you might suddenly find you need to be in the right hand lane with one a short distance to cover.
This is only a minor gripe and on the whole the unit has worked flawlessly for me and is also a bit cheaper than competitors. battery life is very good and can easily last over an hour. although presumably most people would just plug it into the ciggie ...

Advantages: Text to Speech, Bluetooth, GTM Trafficmaster, MP3 Disadvantages: In car connector a bit fiddly.
Having just purchased the Garmin StreetPilot c550t, as an upgrade to the nuvi 300. I have road tested it over the past few days, in differing locations, from wide open spaces to built up valley areas. I can say that this GPS performs superbly well and is a front runner for in car satelite navigation, at a great price. Having used TomTom, Mio, Navman and Garmin, I find there is no comparison, Garmin seem to be the current leader in GPS navigation ... ...to download free, from the Garmin website. The c550 is pre-loaded with UK and European mapping, plus safety camera warnings and points of interest.
Bluetooth connectivity works seamlessly with different phones. Built in GTM traffic master system only serves to make your journey more enjoyable although improving, the signal for traffic updates is not always available in all areas. When travelling on motorway routes, the traffic signal was active ...
