 Garmin StreetPilot September 24, 2008
Best purchase I every made. Don't know how I got along without one for so long. From the auto recalculate if you have to detour, saving your home address to trip monitoring. Has nice speakers for playing MP3's and using The (bluetooth) hands free calling feature.Garmin StreetPilot c580 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with MSN Direct
 great unit, just a bit slow finding the satellites September 24, 2008
this is a great unit.
Theonly real issue is that sometimes it take a loooooong time to find the satellite, without any real reason, when this happens I just turn it off and back on, and will find the satellites in just a few seconds.
the speakers are good but not really loud espcially when in the highway with the windows down, it might be challenging to understand what the voice is telling you.
another annoying issue is that sometimes it will tell you that a target destination is in the wrong side of the street, not a big deal, but better to be aware.
regarding the MSN service, It was free, so I should not complain too much :-) but the truth is that it's not worth the money to renew it. I used the GPS for the first time for a 2000+ miles roundtrip and everytime I check the MSN service to search for cheap gas I got the same answer "no information available for the area, it migth take 24 hs to get info" ... pretty useless ...
there was a large car accident in the road back and the highway was close for miles (and for a few hours) but MSN never reported it to me ...
All in all, this GPS is was a great investment.
wonderful product September 23, 2008

I recently moved to NJ area from NY and I was in urgent need of a GPS. You know how crazy drivers are in NJ, and I bought this GPS after reading many reviews about it and also about other similar modelss. The biggest features I liked in this model is that it speaks street names and bluetooth phone.
There are still some glitches in the mapping software as it does not recognize the weired left tern system on RT-1 in new jersey where you can not make left ,instead you have to go forward and then make right and go round and come back (those who live in NJ knows very well what I mean). I hope this will be fixed in new mapping updates in 2009.
I just don't understand why garmin would not give free update of maps every year instead of making you purchase. thats the only downsite of it and that is the reason I gave 4 star
 Pretty good product September 23, 2008

I have had this item for about 2 months now. MSN direct is limited and not available in all areas, so if you are buying this because of theat service check availability or get the c550 i guess is the one that is identical but w/o the MSN.
The GPS has been great even directing to shortcuts on class 6 dirt roads( I live in NH). All ijn all pleased the POI stores/ restaurants are inaccurate often, but when they are right having the availability of the phone number right on the screen and being able to cll by pressing the screen is an excellent feature.. can make reservations on the way to restaurant if needed.. very pleased so far. started having power issues today may be my connection to the car power plug, will chsck it out tomorrow.
Great GPS System September 22, 2008
I was very hesitant to get a GPS system. I then used a Tom Tom and thought maybe I should get one. I read many reviews and decided the Garmin was the best. The C580 is awesome. I don't leave home without it. It eliminated my reluctance to trust in it. It is great at recalculating, it's tells you how long your trip will take before you even get in your car so you can plan your leave time. It's extremely accurate and efficient. I have no regrets in purchasing this product and neither will you. The BEST part, searching for a Mall, finding it on the list, and then pressing GO!!! It's awesome...that's all I can say.
