- Pretty good little machine
- I got this little guy because I recently moved to Seattle and found that Mapquest and Google maps were getting me lost more often than my work was willing to tolerate. So far, it's been a pretty good machine. It hasn't gotten me to the wrong place yet, but it has occasionally tried to send me the wrong way down a one way street. If I keep on going in a different direction, it usually adjusts for me, and only once has it been stubborn enough to keep trying to get me to go somewhere I couldn't go. All in all I'd recommend it. As far as the MSN stuff goes, I haven't had much success with that, so I don't know if I'd recommend that. It keeps telling me that it could take several minutes--the problem is several minutes can end up being hours.

- Overall a good deal
- Overall this is a good deal - you get a Garmin with most of the new features except it's a little bulky (no issue for me but may be for some). The only concern I have with it is that it's a little slow acquiring signal - at times it's taken up to a few minutes which is annoying when you want to start driving and aren't sure which way to start out.

- satellite service
- In regards to my Garmin c580, it works great as far as getting me from here to there, I am not able to use any of the other features for which I bought it and which are to be free for the first year. These features are apparently only available in larger cities with their own satellite connection and I am mid-point between two of them and it doesn't work. When contacted, I was told that if I want to go to either of these cities, I will need to call them and tell them I'm going and they will then activate it. I live in Central PA and will be traveling to Florida for the holidays and was depending on it for various things which I guess won't be happening. I'm eager to find out as I'm certainly not going to pay when the year is up for something that is unavailable. Very disappointed.

- Good GPS but some time it confuse
- I have used this GPS three to four times. But some time it shows very long route for short distance and it is frustated me. Over all it's good GPS.

- Very easy to use. I love the real time traffic feature that helps me avoid unexpected delays. I have had the a few cars with factory navigation systems and I prefer the Garmin c580.
