 Great GPS for the price June 27, 2008
I have had this unit for a little over a month now and I thoroughly enjoy it. The interface is easy to use, the maps are clear, and the MSN Direct is a great add on. My old GPS took a while to connect to the satellite, but the Garmin is pretty fast. The only real complaint I have is that the screen could stand to be a little brighter. I would recommend this unit to anyone.
 great GPS June 25, 2008
The Garmin StreetPilot c580 is well worth the money spent. The bluetooth is great and hooks everything from your phone, MSN hook up is free for 1 year and great, sound is good, size is perfect, color of screen is excellent, and the cost was amazon low. A great buy for my use and very easy to use and troubleshoot.

This is a very thick gps. I didn't expect it to be so big and the direction is sometimes confusing. What makes things worse is that the auto charger broke down only after one month's use. I have to contact Garmin to replace it. And that is really annoying.

It is great for the price, a few rough beginnings- the fuse on the 12V lighter cord was defective- it looked OK, but the battery never charged so I finally realized the LED on the 12V cord never illuminated- the fuse looked OK, not blown but I replaced it- viola! I am afraid it would have gone back to Garmin with another purchaser. (and I wonder how many bad reviews were the result of a bad lot of fuses ?) Easy to use/ simple, cheap, great GARMIN software- the Bluetooth is nice; I've used it in motel rooms to talk hands- free on my cell/ check voice mail at room volume. Haven't used the MP3 as I have too many other music sources--
The voice directions are quirky- pronounces "Dr.", as in "...... Drive", as "Doctor"- ?huh?- but overall I'd rather this ~$200 Garmin unit than some of the other units I've tried. I've owned 7- GPS's since 1999 or so and have used GPS since early 90's for flying, and Garmin has the best maps/ software. I also have a nuvi 680, but prefer this one as it looks like it's built tougher than the nuvi series and gets thrown up and down off my dash all day long. ( I have it mounted on a Gillson beanbag dashtop mount now). At the low-$200. range I prefer it to other units I researched, esp. since you get the map update and the MSN subscription for a year at this low price. It's easy, fast, intuitive to use/ perfect first GPS for someone- not to disparage it, I needed something quick to reprogram for detours while driving, or to use at 3:30 AM while I was half asleep.
Great bluetooth but the msn direct is not. June 18, 2008

I bought this gps c580 about 2-3 months ago. GPS work excellent also the bluetooth is awesome. For this price you can't go wrong. The msn direct some times drives me crazy. it takes very long time to get a signal and the traffic is NOT really accurate. when it comes to the busy signal this product trys to avoid the traffic, but it drives me crazy and finally i turned it off. Also when i look at the red signal (busy traffic) on the divice is not really busy traffic even i got the full signal on the msn signal bar. other than that it's a great product.
