I purchased the Garmin C550 for my girlfriend for Christmas! Neither of us had ever owned a GPS System. And I was a bit nervous in finding the best one, for the best price! Well let me say that right out of the box this unit was worth every penny! Instructions? Who needs the instructions....Just plug it in and GO! The Traffic receiver that comes built in with this unit was a life saver! To use this unit is totally free, but if you want to use the traffic alerter you need to sign up for a subscription for $60 dollars a year! We used it with our 3 months Free Trial Period, and it worked like you would not believe! On approaching a split on the Highway we were travelling the traffice alerter warned us of a 5 mile back up on the Truck Route Side Of The Highway Instructing us to take The Car Only Lanes! And sure enough in about 1/2 mile the other side of the highway was dead stopped, while we cruised right through!!! AMAZING!!!
With the voice interaction and the Points Of Interests Built In...I don't know how we ever lived without it!
I purchased this unit online for about $540...
Hundreds of dollars less than at many BIG retail stores...so do your homework!
At $500 and change this unit is worth every penny in my opinion!!! ...
