This unit is very easy to use. It's very convenient to talk on the phone hands-free using the StreetPilot's bluetooth feature. The turn-by-turn directions make it so easy to find places I've never been before. I would recommend this product.

It is a very good product. We liked it so much that we bought one for our son & daugher as gifts. It is not perfect, but on the whole it is great. It does a great job of getting you to your destination and lets you know where the nearest, gas station, food, bank, shopping,etc.
Garmin c550 - fine product, but not perfect April 9, 2007

I purchased the c550 to replace my aging Garmin GPS V. Everything has been working as advertised. The primary function, GPS navigation, has been virtually flawless.
The traffic alerts feature could be a great timesaver for some people. My primary driving areas are not normally congested, but one day I got an alert of an accident on my route. The advance warning allowed me to avoid a 10 minute delay.
The TTS (Text to Speech) works well, although I've occasional heard "Dr." (Drive) mistakenly pronounced as "Doctor". But still, the feature reduces the amount of time you need to take your eyes off the road.
The Bluetooth feature eliminates the need to have a separate handsfree unit for my cell phone, and has worked flawlessly.
The mp3 feature is fine, but don't expect high quality sound from the tiny built-in speakers. They just won't deliver it. For casual listening, with reduced quality expectations, they're okay.
All facets of setup were pure simplicity. You can use the unit right out of the box, but if you want to use some additional features or customize it, it only takes a few minutes.
That simplicity leads to my only real criticism of the c550. My old GPS V had many more options that are no longer available on the c550. On the GPS V, virtually every display field, both on the nav screen and on the "dashboard" screen, was customizable. Not so on the c550. What you see is what you get. I would like to have seen an option for "advanced setup" where I could change more of the fields to display the data that I'm interested in seeing.
All in all, the c550 has been a solid performer, but there is room for improvement. I would have no problem recommending it to others.
As for my purchase experience, Amazon's price was among the lowest I found, and my previous purchase experience with Amazon made me confident to purchase from them. The unit was delivered ahead of schedule, in undamaged condition. I would not hesitate to buy from Amazon again.
