Desription ......... From the GPS innovators at Garmin comes another revolutionary device that puts other GPS Navigators to shame! The Garmin Street Pilot C550 contains many terrific features in its compact frame, including: a WASS-enabled receiver, a 2.8” LCD touch screen receiver with 2D and 3D views, custom points of interest (POI’s), a built-in patch GPS antenna, an 8-hour battery life, and so much more. Turn-by-turn voice and visual cues and voice announcement of streets provide a superior navigation experience, made possible by the StreetPilot C550’s highly-sensitive GPS receiver by SiRF, a receiver that provides fast acquisition of satellite data in urban and canyon areas, and areas with heavy foliage. The integrated traffic receiver pulls in up-to-the-moment traffic and road conditions that the C550 automatically calculates into your route. The C550’s automotive-grade TFT LCD display is second to none, making it easy to GPS data from the included North American or European maps. A built-in MP3 player keeps you in the tunes while cruising across town or across the country, providing the enjoyment you crave. It’s all here: Bluetooth-enabled hands-free communication, USB and SD card connectivity, configurable vehicle icons that display your vehicle’s location on-screen, and a 4-digit anti-theft PIN number that locks out unwanted users from your StreetPilot GPS Navigator. And last but least, perhaps the most amazing thing about the Garmin StreetPilot C550 is the fact that despite all of its powerful features, it’s surprisingly simple to customize and operate.
