Buy Garmin StreetPilot C510 in the UK - great price

The Garmin StreetPilot C510 is ready to use straight out the box.

The new StreetPilot C500 series delivers a number of improvements to make journey's even more comfortable and effortless. An accurate, in-built GPS receiver makes the C510 quicker and more accurate from cold.

The colour LCD screen has an anti-glare coating to allow better use in bright sunlight and the touch-sensitive menu's are intuitive and quick to learn.

An increasing problem in the UK is the theft of GPS systems from cars and other vehicles. The new C500 series goes some way to make this more difficult. The new units now use the Garmin Lock technology - this disables the unit from use until the user enters a 4 digit PIN to unlock it or takes the unit to a pre-determined location.

The StreetPilot C510 has a rechargeable battery that Garmin suggest has an 8 hour life between charges. The actual time will depend on actual operating conditions. Maps can be viewed in either 2 or 3 dimensions. An SD card slot takes SD memory cards allowing the memory of the unit to be expanded.

Additional Points of Interest can be uploaded to the unit including alerts for speed zones and safety cameras.
