Do it all with the rugged, waterproof, multi-mode nüvi 550. Drive, hike, bike or boat — this dynamic device switches modes to navigate your active lifestyle. It's packed
with detailed street maps for North America and millions of places.
Like the 500, nüvi 550 provides spoken turn-by-turn directions to your
destination and accepts optional maps for any adventure.
Take It Anywhere
nüvi 550 features driving, walking, bicycling and boating modes
which customize your nüvi specifically for your method of travel.
This portable hybrid combines the advanced navigation features and
large, color display found in automotive units with the durability
of an outdoor handheld. Sleek and slim, you can slip nüvi 550
into your pocket or backpack. The user-replaceable, rechargeable lithium-ion
battery lets nüvi navigate you on roads or off.
Get Turn-by-Turn Directions
nüvi 550's intuitive interface greets you with two simple questions: "Where
To?" and "View Maps." Touch the color screen to easily
look up addresses and services and get voice-prompted, turn-by-turn
directions to your destination. It comes preloaded with detailed City
Navigator NT street maps, millions of points of interest (POIs)
and features digital elevation maps that show you shaded terrain contours
at higher zoom levels. With nüvi 550, you can upload custom points
of interest (POIs) and navigate to geo-tagged photos. If you're lost,
use the Where Am I? emergency locator to view your exact latitude
and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and
the closest hospitals, police stations and fuel stations.
Navigate Off-Road
Conveniently plug in optional maps on preloaded microSD cards
for all your off-road adventures.
Add topographic maps to explore the backcountry or load BlueChart g2 and Inland Lakes marine maps for a great day on the water.
The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment,
so you don't have to worry about getting it wet. With its high-sensitivity
GPS receiver and HotFix™ satellite prediction, nüvi 550
locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location
even in heavy cover, deep canyons and near tall building and trees.
Expand Your GPS
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 550 includes many travel
tools, including world travel clock with time zones, currency converter,
measurement converter, calculator and more. Show off photos of your
excursions with nüvi's picture viewer. Even download geocaches
and instructions from Geocaching.com straight to your unit. It also
supports optional FM traffic alerts or optional MSN® Direct content.
The 550 features Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and is
compatible with our free Garmin Garage, where you can download custom
vehicles that show your location on the map.
