 Great GPS; a steal August 26, 2008
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.
 Where have You been all my life August 26, 2008
no more stopping to ask for directions, taking the long way or looking for a good place to eat or shop. This gps is Great! It works very well for me and i use it every day I work because I do alot of service calls. I no longer have to rely on mapquest printouts, I can leave from one site and punch in the next location and have directions in seconds. The MSN direct is a realy nice feature which you get free for a year and you can pay $35 a year after that or pay like $175 for a lifetime. I am thinking of getting it for a lifetime after my year is up, you can search local gas prices, movie times, find stores, get telephone numbers, find the nearest hospitals and more. With your bluetooth phone connected you can find what you are looking for with the gps and call directly from it handsfree! Overall, great product, easy to use and well worth it for anyone who has to run calls, deliver pizzas or just someone new in a city.
StreetPilot C580 August 25, 2008
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Negative side: i) maps are outdated a little (2006); ii) sometimes a car's position determination is incorrect (up to a few hundreed feets error) which can result in a missed turn even on primery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.
