Digital camera reviews of Garmin StreetPilot c580 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with MSN Direct
Digital camera Review: Easy to use with loud speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using a Street Pilot c550 since 2003 and recently updated the maps. I liked it so much that I bought another Street Pilot. This time the Street Pilot c580 because I wanted to try out the MSN Direct. The c580 is just like to c550. They are easy to use, intuitive, and best of all they have loud speakers so you can focus on driving rather than looking at the screen for directions. Excellent features for the price! The Street Pilot C Series hooks up to my bluetooth phone without a hitch and the MSN Traffic is good but not available in all areas. Overall, for the price, features, accuracy of the unit, I highly recommend it. I wish Garmin improved on the Street Pilot C Series with QWERTY inputs with new GPS chips and 333Mhz processors instead of discontinuing the product. It would have been nice to have the new maps from the Nuvi 2x5 Series with the loud speakers of the Street Pilot. If you want the most bang for the buck with ease of use, the Street Pilot c580 is a winner. It comes with 1 year MSN Direct free trial, and if you like it you can go on the Garmin website and buy it for $60 for lifetime traffic -- just like the Nuvi 760 with no pop up advertising like the 265WT. The car charger acts as the traffic antenna.
I also own the Nuvi 760, Nuvi 260, Nuvi 255, and Nuvi 265WT. Now all my vehicles have a Garmin. The Nuvi Series speaker volume is low (even in the highest volume settings) compared to the Street Pilot C Series. This is the only advantage of the Street Pilot C Series.
Digital camera Review: Excellent GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
GPS is a little bulkier than the Nuvis but the features are great. The Bletooth connection for the cell phone is very clear and is very useful (have to be hands free in DC). The MSN network connection is good for weather updates and the unit is very easy to use.Digital camera Review: Excellent GPS

I bought this GPS after researching what I wanted in a GPS. This has everything I wanted, plus more. The MSN Direct is a great feature that is only on a limited number of GPSs. I has live traffic conditions that show even the smallest construction sites and tells you the approximate time of the delay. MSN Direct also has movie times, gas prices, and weather. The bluetooth works good with multiple phones. The directions are extremely accurate, the screen size is perfect, the custom points of interest is handy, and updates are free from the Garmin website.Digital camera Review: Excellent GPS with bells and whistles for a excellent price

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.Digital camera Review: Excellent for a reduced price
