Hi, the screen on the c550 is listed as
"automotive-grade,sunlight-readable"..........I don't see this stated
with the Nuvi 660?

Are the screens the same or is the c550 a higher quality screen?

Also, how about the sound quality on these two units, how do they
compare? The c550 looks as if the speakers are larger??

Thanks

look here:

http://gpsinformation.info/nuvi/660/660.html

that same site has a review of the 550 too, and somewhere in there are
photos comparing the screens of many diff units (tho no nuvi's):

FWIW, I just got a c530, and the screen is very good, MUCH better than
the c320 shown in those photos, and MUCH better than tomtom. It is very
bright even in direct sunlight (tho it is winter here now). I actually
turned it down to 80%.
