My car has a built in navigation system. I will never own another car without it. I love that I can find a detour if the road is under construction and that I can store addresses so that I don’t have to ask for directions over and over again. I also love that that it tells me how long it will take me to get to my destination. It certainly makes planning a trip easier.

If I didn’t have a navigation system, I would certainly be interested in the GARMIN StreetPilot c550 Portable Navigator Bluetooth & Text to Speech which is currently on sale at buy.com. This GARMIN lists for $399.99, but the price at buy.com is just $189.99 this week.

The GARMIN StreetPilot is not only a navigation system but comes equipped with Bluetooth Wireless technology. This means that you can use the unit as a hands free cell phone device as well. This will be mighty useful in those States who have passed hands free cell phone laws recently! Plus it is also an MP3 player. How much can they pack into one item these days?

The GARMIN comes with suction-cup mounts and the screen is a good size - 3.5″. You will get to your destination faster as the GARMIN can also give you traffic alerts. The unit is portable, so you can move it from car to car if needed. There is so much packed into this little unit that you will certainly get the most bang from your buck!
