Does have bluetooth
- Pros: Works great. Have connected three different types of PDAs to it. Syncs my contacts and is much safer than trying to fumble for phone or even bluetooth handset. Love this convenience!
- Cons: Keep the map in nighttime view mode all the time as day mode is too bright and hard to see. Only downside.
NO BlueTooth
- Pros: Great Product. Does everything I need it to do. Screen plenty big for viewing. Great for use on my motorcycle and vehicle.
- Cons: It DOES NOT have BLUETOOTH. I purchased it and read the new egg website which states Bluetooth: Yes. Well, the answer is actually NO. The Nuvi 550 also DOES NOT have Bluetooth.
