Garmin StreetPilot c550 Sales and Review
The Garmin StreetPilot c550 is a small device that can be used while driving or when hiking or for other outdoor activities. With a color screen that measures 2.8 x 2.1 inches, you will be able to clearly read maps, street directions and other information with ease. This device can be mounted using a suction cup mounting device, or you can store it in your pocket or bag.
Ease of Use
When you need directions, or you just want to know your current location, this device is easy to use and can provide you with the information you need quickly. Maps are available in 2-D and 3-D form so you can see your location from different perspectives. Pre-loaded with maps of North America and Europe, you do not have to download maps unless you want to use the SD slot that is included to download additional maps, language software, or travel guides.
After entering your destination, you will be given street-by-street directions that are easy to understand. If you become lost, you will be rerouted. With the purchase of the Garmin StreetPilot c550, you will also receive a three-month trial subscription to traffic updates that will let you know where traffic patterns are the worst during rush hour or other times during the day. You will also be alerted to construction and delays caused by weather.
Phone Call Options
Like many other devices manufactured by Garmin, this device is equipped with Bluetooth, which creates a hands-free environment to make and receive phone calls if you have a cell phone that also uses Bluetooth. With the StreetPilot c550, you can dial with the push of a button or find phone number in your cell phone history or find a number in the POI (points of interest) database.
When receiving a phone call, all you need to do is touch the screen to answer the call. The c550 features built-in microphone and speakers so you can hear and be heard at all times.
Additional Features
In addition to offering GPS navigation assistance and Bluetooth capabilities, the c550 can also be used to download digital music files. This makes packing music for a long trip very easy.
The Garmin StreetPilot c550 is protected by Garmin Lock, which means the device cannot be activated unless your PIN number is used first. This can help protect the device from theft or prevent use if the device is lost.
