Which Is The Best Garmin Gps System Available In Market. Wats Differnce In Nuvi And C Series. Is C550 Good?
The best garmin in the market rite now is the Nuvi780. It has text to Speech as well as turn by turn. Bluetooth MP3 player 6 hour lithon Ion Battery. Intergrated traffic receiver; integrated FM modulator; Where Am I; and tons of other features.
The difference between the Nuvi series and the C series is that C series is older and out of date.
The C550 is a pretty decscent unit though. It has the txt to speech, bluetooth and mp3 player (I think it has an MP3 on it). It is not a bad unit at all but like I said it is kinda old. Will it still get the job done yes. I donesn’t have the built-in traffice receiver though neither does it have the simulator mode that lets the unit play your route for you before youstart driving it. Let me know if you need anything else DUECES!!!!!
The best one out is more than likely going to be the most expensive. But I personally do not see why a portable gps needs to have a picture viewer, an mp3 player, a tip calculator, solitare, etc. If these features where thorwn in for the same price then fine, but i wouldn’t want to pay extra for this. If you are looking for a good reliable Garmin Gps, go with the Street pilot C550. The main difference with the Street pilot and the Nuvi series is the size. All of the nuvies have a slim, more modern look. The street pilots are a bit older and bulkier( if that’s a word). I personally own a C550 and it is as close to perfect as I have seen. The size doesn’t make a difference to me because it only goes from my windshield to my glovebox for security. I do not carry it in my pocket or anything like that so the extra 2 or 3 inches of bulk makes me no difference.
Text to speech is great, bluetooth is great, built in traffic reciever is great, accuracy is great, and user interface is great. I would definately recommend this unit to anyone shopping for a good gps.
PS. when the C550 was released a little over a year ago, it was priced at $800. Now you can find them between the $300-$400 range. So just because it is priced lower than some NOW doesnt take anything away from the unit. It is still an AWSOME unit, especially for the price.
Hope I helped!
