Garmin StreetPilot C550 GPS Reviews

REVIEW BY: EricTheRed Reviewed Dec 05, 2007

I got one of these and here's what happened. I took it on a few short hops around my town and it did the goofiest thing... it would tell me to go in one direction with voice prompts and text on the screen, but the big white directional arrow would occasionally point me in the OPPOSITE direction. I took it on a road trip and had to go back and forth a few times to the same residential address. Again, a couple times it worked as expected and a few times the Arrow would be pointing towards me in the driver's seat instead of in the direction I was supposed to be going.I spoke to Garmin about it, they were surprised to hear Garmin StreetPilot C550 GPS.The unit I had came with the v8 maps, and I did not have the upgrade dvd for v9. So I returned it for the nuvi 360, see my 2 reviews of that product.
