- Somewhat Confusing
- We purchased this item for our daughter. She loves the unit and it works exceptionally well. The main dissatisfaction we have is navigating the menus. Trying to mark your current position as a favorite is rather convoluted. It would be better if there was a "click here to add current location to favorites" feature. Since we have not had the device for long...maybe there is and we just haven't found it. Other than that, once the locations are listed for favorites - the device is great and she is much more confident in her traveling.

- Very good device.
- I liked this unit very much except for the bulkiness. I returned it and I'm looking for a gps device that does the same things, but is more compact. Bluetooth is a great option on this unit.

- Garmin GPS
- GPS is super product. Would have been completely lost on trip to NY. Did have problem mounting it on bean bag. It does not fit with the mount that came with the unit. But there is nothing stating this. I contacted Garmin and they were awhere of this issue and sent free mount imediately. Also we can not use MSN because it is not available in the town we live in. Tried to use it in a recent trip to NY and the intial MSN startup using product code etc. did not work. Reactivate on line states it should be working. Next step is to call when we are in a location where MSN provides service.

- Garmin GPS C580
- All I have to say is awesome product. So awesome I bought another one for my other car and then my dad saw it work and he bought one. If you buy this make sure you go to any electronic store and buy a wireless FM transmitter so you can hear the gps through the car speakers. Another cool thing is that you can download over 5000 songs into this little creature. Say you are driving and listening to the music then the gps says turn here the music stops so you can hear the gps also you are driving and listing to your tunes and your cell phone rings. The music stops so you can hear your phone and then it tells you who is calling on the caller ID. Call me old fashion but this product is just awesome and it also will tell you when there is traffic ahead and route you another way. It does so much more, but I do not work for Garmin and when they want to pay me for my opinions I will share more about their products. I hope this helps you in your decission.
Only con I have about this is the speaker on the unit but once you get the wireless FM transmitter you can make it as loud as you like through the car stereo. One more thing the C580 has internet and the C550 has none. Both models are awesome. - 2008-08-31, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great GPS; a steal
- The Garmin StreetPilot 580 is an awesome GPS especially at the price I had paid for it ($189.99). Gives accurate directions all the time and although I have not started my one-year trial for the MSN Direct service yet, I am fully satisfied with the product. There are a few times when it takes me to a more complicated route (i.e. taking more turns to get to an address but still going to the right place). Also, with this product, you might want to consider updating/buying a map upgrade since it is a little dated. Overall, I would recommend this GPS to anyone who wants a whole lot of feature for a bargain.
