The Garmin StreetPilot c550 is a great navigation system in the GPS world.  With its accurate directions and easy to follow map, it is top-notch among GPS systems.   The StreetPilot c550 offers many features that include locating nearby restaurants, gas stations, shopping areas and entertainment options.  It is also compatible with Bluetooth technology and can be used as an MP3 player with over 700 MB of song storage.  This Garmin also has traffic features that allow you to avoid heavy traffic and will automatically re-route your trip to make sure you will miss the delays.  Once the StreetPilot c550 was initially turned on, it took some time acquiring a signal but once the system was running, it was flawless.  It was somewhat bulky to carry around for GPS purposes, but for car use, the StreetPilot c550 worked great.  The car mount that is provided can easily be transferred to different vehicles without any problems.  This GPS system definitely directed me where I needed to go and it did so in the most time efficient manner.  Overall, I think the StreetPilot c550 is a sound choice for GPS navigation.
