 Everything I expected and more. August 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.

This is a great item. Well worth the money - and I have enjoyed using it. It is easy to use.
It does - sometimes - take a little long to load the satellite connection, but for the most part, I have NO complaints!!
Best for the money - Awesome gadget August 15, 2008
I bought this one for my daughter as a graduation gift for heading off to college this fall that is 3 hrs away. But first I had to try it out before giving it to her. I loved it, had no clue what I was missing till I just took it out of my car and moved to my daughters car so that she has it for college.
I have yet to not have a signal except when going through the tunnel on the way to VA Beach but what did you expect in there. This is so easy to set up and use and stores all the locations that you want to save.
I think now I will go and buy one for myself.
 dont even think of buying it August 15, 2008

its been only 2 weeks, it is broken already ( not physically), I mean not working properly. yesterday it mislead me and made me travel 20 miles extra unnecessarily. FInally I had to shut it down and find my own way to the destination. It was not a remote area, i picked up a friend of mine from boston logan airport and had to drop them off at boston downtown but I ended up going to revere. I restarted it and tried again still it didnt work properly. I dont know if the amazon is gonna replace it, i ahve to call them today and find out.
