 Great buy for the price September 3, 2008

After a research of about 3 months, trying to find a good GPS system that has bluetooth and can also play MPS3's, I bought this product from amazon, this product is the best for the price you get it for. Only shortcoming are.
1) Software only supports upto 2GB of SD card
2) Increasing/Decreasing volume is a pain.
Otherwise, i have absolutly no complains with this product.

Love this GPS. It is no frill and easy to use. Clear voice instructions and large bright road directions.

Bertha (we named her) has saved our lives, literally. We were once lost at night in a very bad neighorborhood, and it saved us instantly! The GPS can get tempermental, taking a few minutes to acquire a signal, but she is alwasy reliable. Her routes can change from time to time, but i would trust my life with it!
Everything I expected and more. August 24, 2008

Everything I expected and more. I had no problem updating the firmware or updating the maps. I tested it in town and it worked fine. It found plenty of restaurants as well as the movie theaters. The 2009 map update was free and a very big file...2GB! For ten dollars more you can get the C580 with MSM-Direct if thats important to you. I was glad to find out the 3.5" display was plenty big, after all you are letting it give you directions, not using it to watch a movie.
Useful aid August 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It is a very useful aid to find your way around, look for a restaurant or use the cell phone in the car. The device mounts easily on the windshield and is small enough not to destruct the view. The directions are clear and entering an address or a special place are fairly straight forward. However this device still needs a lot of improvement to be a main stream driving aid tool. The names of the streets are not very clearly pronounced and there is too much relience on on-screen instructions or touch screen operations. For example, using the bluetooth feature which is supposed to give you "hands free" operation, you need to touch the screen to answer a call or to end it. I can see how it may lead to accidents instead of preventing them. It is excellent when someone is sitting by the driver paying attention to messages, and the information provided. But when a driver is alone in the car it is a major distruction to driving. By comarison, a cell phone is just a minor one.
