User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars GARMIN Streetpilot C550 GPS Receiver
Good price, works as expected. Has features I’ve never used nor plan to use! Meets my needs. 2008 map base. No AC charger. Would’ve rated it at 5 stars with an AC charger.
If you want to go from A to B it will get you there. It’ll get you home!
1 Star It worked really good, amazing for only 2 weeks then it died

5 Stars unbelievable
this is one of the best investments I’ve made in a while. I can’t believe how easy it was to set up and use. I am extremely satisfied with all the features. I will definitely buy more for my family.
4 Stars Ease Of Use
I seldom make reviews unless an item perform exceptionally well or really bad. I purchased this unit for my wifes birthday based on the many reviews I read. I sought after affordability, ease of use, and performance. This unit fits the bill perfectly.
My wife is a “team mom”, and she frequently drives to various gyms for games all over town. She also had a bad habit of driving with the phone to her ear (she refuses to wear an earpiece). Now she can receive calls hands free, and the screen clearly displays the incming caller ID. I had limited experience with GPS systems, so I was a bit nervous about what top expect. After our 1st use, I know I made a good choice. Afer “playing” with it for 10 minutes, the wifey handles her navigation like a pro. With a touch of the “Where To” menu she enters the address (if known) or she searches for it by name similar to a google search.
Its interface is simple and intuitave - we’ve yet to read the directions. The display is bright and clear under all lighting situations we’ve encountered; your next move is displayed clearly on the screen; and the spoken directions are given at about the right time as a reminder. There are several voice options, (my wife prefers the Brit guy voice, I prefer the Aussie babe accent 
As far as the navigation goes, I’ve observed that it “links up” in 3 seconds or less, and if you chose to stray off course, it recalculates within a second or 2.
I’m sure there are many more features, but we were looking for the ability to get simple directions clearly displyed and spoken. Really, I’m amazed at how often she uses it and how we got by this long without it.
Overall, you will have a hard time beating this model for something that works well.
5 Stars Garmin C550
Don’t look at any other unit. This is the only one to put in your car. Maps are great, the hands free is so, so easy to operate. Your cell phone phone book is automaticlly read. I brought my second one a few weeks ago. Simple the best unit bar none.
