 Great Value October 14, 2008
The Street Pilot C550 is a great buy. It has almost every feature of the high end navigators without the high price. The phone feature is not working right. The other party has hard time hearing you while talking. The satelite signal takes a minute or two for the GPS but other than that I am very happy with the purchase. The battery doesn't last 8 hours but long enough in case you have a motorcycle and want to take it with you.

Pro
Good product and value for money.
Cons
If it can't find the satelites, goes to the indoor mode & to make it work we need to reboot the toy. Guess its windows based ;)
 Received non-working instrument October 13, 2008
I have been looking to own this GPS for a while, finally I received the product in main on time. I was so excited to use. When I switched on the unit, it dispalyed "acquiring sattellite link please wait.....", I have waited for very near an hour or so but the link didn't come. Hoping that it will work next day. But the instrument died when I switched on next day. Even when I plug in the instrument, it was not being charged. Finally I have to return the product. But return was good though........I got my money back on time.
A very capable unit October 12, 2008
This can do everything it advertises, with no problems. It's easy to mount, easy to set up, easy to use. I haven't used the traffic detection yet, so I don't know how good that is. But I've used this in two different cities, with successful directions for the most part.
Trying to find a place is natural enough, as it breaks things down into multiple categories (example, Places - Food - Pizza, etc.) and returns places that are currently closest to you. You can also enter the address if you know it. You can also set a hot button to Home, which is nice to have a set favorite location to go to. The Bluetooth integration is nice too. It will give you a hands free setup, if you don't already have one.
Of course there are some quirks that I found, which may or may not have solutions. The primary one is that once you enter your destination, and receive your path route, there isn't an easy way to get an overview to ensure it is taking you to the right place. Zooming way out on the map far enough, is rather painful. So, there is an element of trust that needs to go on. Luckily it hasn't steered me wrong yet (that I know of). The other minor quirk is that trying to browse places isn't as good as I'd like. I was in a strange city (Kansas City) and wanted to find good places to go. The places it returned to me seemed limited compared to what I had seen earlier in Google maps. But, it did return enough that we had a good time with what was provided.
All in all, I would recommend this unit, since it definitely does what it is supposed to ,and it does it well.
 Must have for buisness travelers October 10, 2008
This is my thrid GPS and by far the best so far. The thing I like over the others I has was the flexibility when searching. If a street has more than one name (eg Aurora here in Seattle is also known as highway 99), this system has both. Meggelan would only have one of the other, whcih was a major flaw.
