An excelent balance of features and ease of use.

Date of Review:  Sep 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: A complete vehicle navigation GPS package. Compact, excellent navigation, easy to use, complete POI database.
Review: The Garmin StreetPilot c550 is the second auto navigation GPS I have owned. I am pleasantly surprised as to the thought that Garmin put into the software that drives it and to the vocal navigation prompts it offers. In short, this is the best...

Mapquest's not so great replacement

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: I feel as though most people would be better off with a different system that is faster and more accurate.
Review: I bought this GPS system because I travel often and quite frankly got sick of printing out maps from mapquest. I had had every intention of never needing to use my home computer for directions ever again. Sadly this machine has become nothing more...

The Bottom Line: Great product! Everything all in one and more!
Review: We opted to try this item out when we rented a car on vacation! We are very glad we did! It was amazing and so easy to use. We were able to look up attractions in the area along with entering in the first few letters of the name and it gave us...

Lifesaver

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2002
The Bottom Line: Buy this product and you will never be lost again!
Review: OK, so maybe you are one of those people who is never lost. When someone asks instructions, you probably tell them to go south to the such and such building and then turn north.

I am one of those people who is always lost. My inability to...

Days of being lost are OVER

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you never want to get lost again and want a user friendly GPS, then get the Garmin StreetPilot C550
Review: I am always getting lost no matter how good of directions someone gives me.  I decided to finally break down and get a GPS system.  I wanted one that was easy to operate and at a good price.  I found that in the Garmin StreetPilot C550.  This little...

DO NOT BUY FACTORY REFURBISHED UNITS!

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: NOT worth the aggravation
Review: I finally broke down and bought a factory refurbished unit from an on-line vendor - GetFeetWet.com. It did not work from day one. Vendor's customer service people suggested I contact Garmin directly. I called them, explained the problem - unit would...

3.1 in a tidy package

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: Near-theater sound quality w/o wires and speakers everywhere, but at a price.
Review: I finally took the plunge and purchased a YSP-1100 along with a Yamaha YST-FSW100PN last week. Two things made me pull the trigger on this vs. a 5/7.1 system: 1) having speakers around the room was not going to please the wife, and 2) ideally those...
