In addition text-to-speech, the c510 also includes another new feature an anti-theft system with a four-letter PIN to lock in case of theft.ДЇinding and maintaining a GPS signal took us between 30 seconds and a minute, and the c510 uses the popular SiRF Star III GPS chipset. Conveniently, the volume scroll wheel on the left side gives quick access to volume levels while driving. Most streets were clearly audible, but the unit struggled with longer and difficult to pronounce names. This means the c510 can read out street names. Voice commands on the c510 are above average, largely thanks to the built in text-to-speech technology. Users can also find intersections and cities but the option to enter a specific GPS coordinate (seen on the nuvi 660 and nuvi 300 models) is not included on the c510. Tapping the 'Where To?' button allows you to navigate to a specific address, your home, food and hotel outlets, recently found destinations, favourites and even the nearest petrol station. Here users can also adjust brightness and volume levels.

The main menu is very simple, with icons for 'Where To?' and 'View Map'. The street number would be better positioned as an option after you select the street. Oddly though, searches must be done in order of suburb, street number and then street name. Street names are filtered by suburb, reducing the list of streets during searching to a manageable number.

The StreetPilot c510 software is intuitive to use. Menu icons are accompanied by large, colourful boxes, while more specific sections, such as the address search, are clearly labelled with large text. The Garmin interface remains the same as previous units and it's once again simple, bright and extremely effective.
