Summary: GPS Went bad in three days
Comment: I had to return the item, the GPS went bad in three days. May be I was unlucky.

Summary: Not bad, but many of features don't work...
Comment: I bought this item several months ago. The MSN adapter that comes with the unit has already broken. This renders many of unit's selling points useless. I read on the internet where the plug breaks often. Poorly made and a replacement antenna is over $100. Not a quality product in my opinion.

Summary: Garmin StreetPilot c580 GPS Navigator
Comment: Very pleased with this navigator model. We take it with us whenever we go out of town. Recently visited relatives in small town near Little Rock, AR and also to Jacksonville, FL where we rented cars for both trips. This navigaor made it very easy for us to get around. Purchased it at a great price!

Summary: Problems
Comment: The GPS works well except it sometimes flashes BRIGHT white. DANGEROUS at night. The MP3 player is OK, but it is no iPod and it has issues with 8GB SD cards. It seems to max out at 500 songs no matter how much space you have. MSN Direct Traffic is WORTHLESS. It hardly ever gets a signal on the Baltimore Beltway, let alone out in the country. The BlueTooth works OK, but sometimes needs a couple tries to sync up. Can't say if it is the GPS or the phone.
Mine is going back.

Summary: Amazing Functionality and Ease with this GPS
Comment: This is the most amazing and useful toy I've ever owned. It's simple to set up and you'll have it working in no time flat. Easy to read maps, with zoom in/out, and the screen actually switches background lighting between day and night. Routes are calculated in lightning speed. Anytime you want to choose a different route, just hit the "detour" button and a new course is loaded for you. The 1 year of MSN Direct free is brilliant! Live traffic plus finding local businesses, gas prices is great. We'll definitely renew when it's over. There's a simple trip computer which gives you info on how much time/mileage is left in your trip. The ETA functionality is scarily accurate. Hooking up your Bluetooth phone is easy, and you can make all your calls and receive them through the unit. It even pulls in your phonebook. However, you can only have one phone hooked up to it at a time. There's also a simple mp3 player and speakers built in, so rather than bringing your iPod, just load the music right onto this unit. Overall, it's a little too big to just stick in your pocket when you leave the car, but it's small enough to put in pretty much any bag or pack. This is a great tool.
