Almost perfect...
"The Garmin Streetpilot C550 is actually my second portable GPS. Pros: Text-to-speech capability, bluetooth connectivity and included FM traffic transmitter. These 3 features made me decide to buy the unit (even though I have a perfectly functioning TomTom One). It's neat to hear the streets spoken instead of it just saying "Turn Left in a quarter mile". The traffic service is free for 3 months. Regarding the blu..." Read Full Review »

"Pros: User friendly. Take it out of the box, plug it in the outlet and you are ready to go. Same bells and whistle as higher-end units. Took it on a 600 mile trip the first weekend. It never missed a beat. No longer need the wife for directions. May never take her on another trip. HaHa.Cons: After o …" Read Full Review »
