I've owned the Garmin Streetpilot for a while now and used it many times. The unit comes with a holder and suction cup which can attach to the dash or the windscreen and the power cable is plenty long enough to reach the cigarette power socket. The...

Looking at the Garmin 550t (t standing for topographical maps), you would be forgiven for thinking someone had handed you the previous version. It's so alike, that at first we thought that Garmin had just sent us the wrong unit. Why? Well it comes in...
Easy to use, built-in camera, improved screen, more waypoints, more routes
Expensive, screen not totally visible in bright sun
In our 400t review we whinged that the screen was too dull. Garmin have addressed this, so it only seems fair for us to up the score from an 8 to a 9 for this model
Besides the GPS functionalities of the handset the Oregon 550t also offers an image viewer, (randomly) a calendar, calculator, sun and moon times, alarm clock, stopwatch and best times to fish and hunt on any given day - love it. ADS BY GOOGLE'//...

This rugged GPS navigator isn't cheap but it is full of features for the serious hiker.
Although the list price for the Garmin Oregon 550t is close to £500, we’ve already seen it available for nearer to £300 on a number of retail websites. This still doesn’t exactly make it a bargain, and it’s even more of a serious hiker’s GPS than the...
But it does the intended job well, and the geotagging integration is extremely well executed. So if your outdoor activities would benefit from a seamless ability to make a still image record of where you've been, the Garmin Oregon 550t is without peer.

The Garmin StreetPilot c550 offers accurate driving directions, integrated Bluetooth, and real-time traffic info in one slick package.
There's a volume dial, a USB port, and a power button on the right. We especially like the external volume control since you don't have to fiddle with the menus to change this setting; we did notice, however, that it's a bit sensitive and jumps several...
