The turn by turn come through the truck fm radio. touch screen and you can load your own music and pictures onto it.

I have had mine since the spring of this year and this is my 4th GPS and the one I like the most so far.

i have a garmin c550, i got it about 9 months ago. it works great, but keep in mind with any gps it is not perfect. the fastest route isn't always fastest, as you will find when playing around with them going to a place you know well. when arriving at address, it's usually accurate to the address within 100 feet, so you WILL need to keep an eye on street numbers, especially if you do resi work. suction cup mounts fall off the windshield, there is no avoiding this. i bought a beanbag dash mount, great, no complaints. and believe it or not, a 3.5 inch screen is quite sufficient. overall, i give it a 9 out of 10.

don't buy a subscription to garmin traffic, it is a waste. c 550 came with free trial, not worth the $60 a year

I have a TomTom and i like it. The directions are good, i would say 9/10. The only thing that sucks is when im in downtown chicago it wont work right. All the tall buildings block the signal and i have to get out my mapbook again cause the gps sucks there. Everywhere else the thing is great though and its worth the money.

i bought the traffic and loved it actually. livin in a metropolitan area its pretty damn good but dont use it to redirect you around traffic it sucks big ones at that.

I bought a Lowrance xog, couldnt find any reviews anywhere, but wise idea looked at bass pro and found it, glad i went there, has road trail lake and text to speech for 269.00 user friendly and easy 1.5 hr ride home and running it like i had it for years,,thanks for all the input.:)

Funny story got a gps told me that i was at the house i needed to be. knocked on the door introduced myself and asked what the problem was. they told it was not cooling properly but he didnt call me so his wife must have. so i fixed there unit called dispatch got my next address and started heading that way. 20 mins later i get a call the last client said you never came. The GPS changed the adress #s so I went to the wrong house! always check twice the address and number before you knock on a door.

the wrong adress i went to nevered called back. we were going to refund his money if he did.

Got a Garmin c330 for Christmas. I really like it, but not all of the address locations are accurate. Just a couple of weeks ago, I went to a service call 1-1/2 hours away from our shop. I followed the directions from the GPS. When it told me I had arrived, it had me on the right road, but at the wrong end of it. I was 5 miles away from where I needed to be. The maps are not completely up to date. The roadname I live on was changed 8 years ago, but it still shows up as the old roadname on the GPS (and on Mapquest as well). I have tried to update the maps through their website, but it says they are current.
