 StreetPilot C580 August 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am very satisfied with this product. In almost 100% of cases it provides correct directions to a choosen destination.
Hands free calls due to a bluetooth capability is a big advantage.
Negative side: i) maps are outdated a little (2006); ii) sometimes a car's position determination is incorrect (up to a few hundreed feets error) which can result in a missed turn even on primery roads.
 Great GPS August 25, 2008
I have owned other GPS units; however none of them compare to this one. The directions were right on and I was able to pair my LG Chocolate to use the Bluetooth functionality. I highly recommend this product and I will be buying another one for a gift.
Excellent GPS with bells and whistles for a excellent price August 23, 2008
Easy to use ,Loud ,Weather,Traffic, movie times and gas prices where ever you go. That is just some of the features on this GPS. I went through alot of GPS's before I found this one and I have to say it is best. I have never wrote a review before but this product was worth the typing.

I just purchased the c580 on Amazon for $169.00. Free shipping, and arrived in 3 days. My prior GPS was a Magellion 800.
The c580 is a great buy!
Considerations:
The unit is not a flat unit, however it will sit up much better than a flat unit if you are not attaching to a windshield.
It really does operate right out of the box. "plug and play".
As others have stated, there is a free map upgrade, but beware...it took over three hours on a high speed line. (no..I really mean 3+ hours..)
The Bluetooth connected to my Palm Treo without a hitch. It is really cool to see an incoming call come onto the GPS screen, and be able to answer by touching the screen. You can also make calls from the screen.
The text to speach work great. You can just listen to the verbal instructions instead of looking at the screen.
The speakers work ok. They are at least as good as others I have used.I have not had a volume issue, and there is a choice of voices.
The POI are very good. They do require you to leave the screen, but they also include a phone number link to an establishment, so if you are using the Bluetooth, you just push the call button, and it connects you.
The MSN direct...well it works really well on a major freeway, in a major city. Most of the time it just says "no service available". But in a major city, it really works pretty well for the traffic. The gas prices and movies info. also works well in a major city. If you are travelling on a major interstate, the weather will show many of the cities that you are travelling through.
THe MP3 player...well, why would you want to play anything through the GPS?
This unit has all of the great features than many more expensive models offer, but for $160.00 bucks. GO BUY ONE!
AWESOME GPS. GARMIN ROCKS!!!!! August 21, 2008
I recently upgraded from my garmin 530 to the new 580. You couldnt ask for more in a gps. My new 580 with the msn direct is so cool. I dont know what else to say but if your going to buy a gps make sure its GARMIN.TOM TOM and the others are not as accurate I have found. And for this price here how can you beet it... Hope this helps you!!!!!
