Garmin StreetPilot c550 Car GPS Receiver

The Bottom Line: Get the DELUXE version only. It permits downloading of every single street, store, restaurant, etc. in the entire country, and doesn't cost much more.

Review: I'd used a voice only GPS system before (prior opinion on Epinions), but this is the best - a truly remarkable technology. Once you get over the installation and downloading (requires at least a bit of computer literacy), this fires up quickly and...

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...

The Bottom Line: If you want color, voice activation, automatic route re-calculation and in-unit door to door routing for under $1000, this is it.

Review: After an exhaustive search of different types of solutions (from Magellan's hand-held ones that clip onto a Palm PDA to the sophisticated in-dash GPS systems), I finally bought the Garmin Streetpilot III a few months ago. On the whole I have been...

The Bottom Line: I would be in the store to replace it in a heartbeat if it broke. Best money I ever spent.

Review: I am admittedly directionally challenged. When I took a new position doing on site software training throughout New England, what worried me most about the new job was getting lost.

After 2-3 times getting confused or mislead by Mapquest...

The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this or any Garmin to purchasers. It's an overall good value!

Review: I got this as a Christmas gift last year and it has saved me more than once! I drive a lot for my job and that requires going to new places. The directions are really clear - it tells you exactly which street you're looking for and how long before...

Review: I purchased this machine, having had another Bernina previously. Its a sturdy machine, but tends to really shake when sewing fast. Also, as I was told by the dealer, Bernina started using snap-on feet with an adapter for the 1008 in order to save...

The Bottom Line: This is a great unit if you want accurate information from a unit that is easy to use and is reasonably priced.

Review: I have used my StreetPilot III on every trip I have taken in the last two years. This is not only trips in the US but in Europe. I purchased the Metroguide for Europe and because my unit has a US base map the find feature would not work, but if you...

The Bottom Line: reccommended for the directionally challenged, and those who like to save time, or need someone to talk to in the car.

Review: My husband bought me the Garmin streetpilot III for Christmas, or did he purchase it for himself? NO matter, it's mine all mine.

Being relatively new to the area and seriously directionally challenged, this item was a lifesaver for me...

The Bottom Line: No more map fumbling or trying to read maps while driving. Very useful for solo drivers and in areas unfamiliar to the driver. It installed nicely in my vehicle.

Review: I found the Street Pilot III very useful when navigating in large cities I wasn't familiar with. Quickly finding shortest or fastest routes is very useful. It recommended routes that I would not have tried, but were good choices.
I live in...

The Bottom Line: This is an invaluable piece of equipment when driving in unfamiliar areas. Use it wisely and it will get you where you need to go.

Review: My dad purchased the Garmin Street Pilot III and was off and running in no time. The software is PC-based so we dropped Virtual PC onto his iMac and can now add and delete routes to the memory card.

It's invaluable when going to an area...
