The automotive-grade, sunlight-readable, anti-glare display makes it easier to see where you’re traveling, and configurable vehicle icons allow you to select a fun, customized car-shaped icon that shows your position on the map. The c530 also includes the 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.

You can also monitor traffic tie-ups with the addition of an optional FM TMC traffic receiver.

Simply touch the screen icon to calculate a new route. (These traffic services are available only in select cities where coverage exists.)
