What I was looking for was a GPS unit that is compact, well performing, a reputed brand name, and most importantly with Text-2-Speech (TTS) functionality.
And the award goes to .... Garmin StreetPilot c550 Vehicle GPS Navigator
Hence I bought it and been using it happily.

It is also most everything I wanted, the only draw back is the screen is a little on the small side.
Very Happy. May 31, 2007

I was able to get a good price for my Garmin c550 GPS Navigator. The service and delivery were great. I even talked my sister to ordering one.
She too had a great experience dealing with this Vendor.
 c550 - Good but Not Perfect May 31, 2007

I've owned other Garmin vehicle GPS units and hands down they are the best brand you can buy. I personally wouldn't buy an in-dash GPS unit if it wasn't powered by Garmin.
I did however find some disappointment in the c550. The feature I was most excited about was the bluetooth phone feature. To my disappointment, this feature doesn't really work all that great in all vehicles. My 2005 4runner has too much background noise when on a highway or interstate... virtually eliminating the use of the bluetooth. Those I call cannot understand what I'm saying. Maybe this feature works great in a high class luxury vehicle but not for me. It works better when I'm in slow traffice but I still feel I have to talk above my normal voice level for the other person to hear clearly.
The mp3 player feature is also virtually useless. The music only plays out of the unit and the sound quality is poor. With the popularity of other mp3 players (ipod)... this feature is never used.
The traffic fm receiver is cool but will only help you if you live in a big city. I live in a mid-size city and the traffic alerts are minimal. It might be very helpful in a larger city with more congestion. This feature is free for 90-days.
The other features can be found in lower models like the c340. I'd almost prefer that I would have purchased that model over the more expensive c550.
It all comes down to the features you want. If you need the traffic receiver and so-so bluetooth features... then this unit is for you. The navigation and quality of the product are what make this 4-stars. If you don't really need the added features... go with the c340. Same thing... minus the add-ons.
