Eric surprised me with a Garmin StreetPilot c530 portable unit as an anniversary gift this year. He told me to be expecting a UPS package because he ordered an extra drive for his computer.

Silly me for believing him.

When the nondescript brown box appeared a day early, I opened it.

Surprise!

Not a computer drive!

Oops! :)

So he didn’t get to see the look on my face at that very moment, but I have been raving about this thing all weekend. I love it. Now we have instant maps and a compass (which my new model of VUE had eliminated), as well as turn by turn direction capabilities and points of interest.

Another feature is the fact that the entire thing is completely removable, so if I’m in a sketchy area, I can remove and hide all traces of something worth stealing.
