User Review: 4 out of 5 stars - Garmin GPS products are best!
This is my second GPS from Garmin StreetPilot series. First one was StreetPilot c550 and now this one C580. I drove down from Michigan to Georgia almost 750m with c580 without any glitch. However, in Atlanta, I had some troubles with c580. It took me to some unknown destinations. I've updated c580 with 2009 maps now and find the issue has reduced little bit. Overall, I'm pleased with the TTS, bluetooth, 6-7 hours battery backup and above all traffic alerts and auto detour calculate feature in c580. Anyday, Garmin makes the best GPS.



User Review: 4 out of 5 stars - California Trip
Ok, my wife and I bought this because we were planning a vacation to drive from San Diego to San Francisco. The price was very attractive and it arrived very quickly from Amazon (go amazon!!!)

Overall, work exactly as advertised. It is a little large and the MSN features are cool nice to haves but only really care about traffic. Be sure you have all your avoidances set. This could be a fault of our own but when we were on our way to Santa Barbara and wanted to take a more scenic drive on the coast the unit did seem to have trouble and put us in a serious loop. We had to stop, power it down, then power it back up. Also, noticed in San Francisco it did a great job getting us around the city. It did have a few problems in Union Square with all the tall buildings.

Finally, it gets us where we need to go at a good price. I was considering one of the more expensive garmins but this one is perfect for us as a portable unit. It has most of the important features (bluetooth, and MSN) of the expensive guys and is much cheaper. Also, a word of advice, do not put your home address in the unit. If this is ever lost or stolen...

I love this little gizmo! My previous model was a C320, so this is quite an upgrade. I figured I needed a map upgrade anyway, so for the price Amazon was offering,it seemed better to upgrade the entire unit and get a new map at the same time!
I just use it in the car, so the size is not a problem. I was concerned about the bluetooth connecting with my cell phone, but fortunately my palm Centro and the C580 get along just great! My mp3's sound very good (connected to my car's audio system) and I appreciate the way the C580 overrides the music when its time to hear a direction. The text to speech works very well and the screen is much improved over my old C320...no more harsh glare...great non reflective screen!
For the price, features, and accuracy of the unit, you can't beat this little baby! I am very happy with my purchase.

Others have pretty much said it all. Mainly I love the bluetooth capability and it works really well. also i can hook the audio output to my cdplayer and my gps goes through my car stereo system by way of the aux port. great product
