Digital camera reviews of Garmin StreetPilot c580 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with MSN Direct
Digital camera Review: For the money a lot of GPS
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my 3rd GPS..the 1st was a C320 which I still have and also a NUVI 200 that was either stolen or lost...in any event I was looking to replace the NUVI 200.
To be honest I was not impressed with any of the NUVI lines. I find the maps to contain way less information compared to the C line.
This is my first TTS GPS and to be honest it took some getting used to as the voice is not as clear as the standard Turn Right in 500 feet voice...but after a day or so it is no problem at all. In fact you can turn off the TTS if you prefer the regular prompts.
I had a real problem getting the Bluetooth to stay paired with my Blackberry Curve...doing some searching I was able to see that by upgrading the BT to the latest software on the GPS it stayed connected
MSN is pretty worthless other than a bell and whistle when it works...I won't be renewing it in a year
Great GPS for the money as this was Top of the Line for Garmin before the NUVI came out..if you don't need the slim GPS get this one
Digital camera Review: Functional, Cost Effective
Summary: 4 Stars
Good little unit for the money. The MSN feature is nice when you are in areas that it supports. I'd love to see them add a doppler radar page to the MSN service to really raise the bar. I don't like the MSN hardware portion being built in to the cigarette lighter adapter but it is what it is for now. The price was right when I bought it and it has been worth the amount spent without a doubt. My father has borrowed the unit and enjoyed it as well and he is not tech-savvy. The roads are pretty up to date in my area, rerouting is pretty quick and intuitive as well.Digital camera Review: GARIN StreetPilo c580

It is a great tool for drivng around strange cities. My only regret is that MSN is only in 100 big cities and so weather, gas prices, movie times etc. do not work where I live. Make sure you check out the MSN network before you buy the extended subscription. But I do love my Garmin.Digital camera Review: GARMIN sTREET PILOT c580

I haven't had the unit for very long but have used it several times and have found it to be reliable. It is easy to program routes . Really like the fact that you can increase or decrease volume very easily. I have yet to use the MSN that came along with it but have high hopes that I will be pleased with it... I would recommend this unit to anyone looking to purchase a GPS. SharonDigital camera Review: GOOD ONLY IF YOU HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHERE YOU ARE GOING

I'm not impressed.
In the city, this device often takes you on side streets instead of main roads, wants you to turn where turns aren't allowed, and takes you down dirt roads with huge potholes!
Are there any of these things that know the main roads in cities?
