Talk about simple. The portable StreetPilot c530 comes ready-to-go right out of the box with preloaded maps and plenty of options. In addition to the simple touch-screen display found in previous versions, the StreetPilot c530 comes loaded with new features including:
- High-sensitivity GPS receiver - provides faster acquisition times and maintains signal under heavy foliage and near city skyscrapers
- Automotive-grade, sunlight-readable, anti-glare display - makes it easier to see where you're going
- Streamlined design - creates a slimmer, more refined shape
- Configurable vehicle icons - allows you to select a fun, customized car-shaped icon that displays when autorouting
- Garmin Lock - anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific 4-digit PIN or take the unit to a predetermined location.
Integrated Traffic Receiver
Monitor traffic tie-ups with the addition of an optional traffic receiver. In select metro areas, with the addition of the GTM 20 FM TMC traffic receiver*, the SteetPilot c530 notifies you of accidents, road construction, and weather-related traffic delays before they are encountered, and then offers an alternate route. Simply touch the screen icon to calculate a new route.
* Traffic services available in select cities throughout the U.S. Subscription required.
