Summary: Garmin GPS
Comment: GPS is super product. Would have been completely lost on trip to NY. Did have problem mounting it on bean bag. It does not fit with the mount that came with the unit. But there is nothing stating this. I contacted Garmin and they were awhere of this issue and sent free mount imediately. Also we can not use MSN because it is not available in the town we live in. Tried to use it in a recent trip to NY and the intial MSN startup using product code etc. did not work. Reactivate on line states it should be working. Next step is to call when we are in a location where MSN provides service.

Summary: Garmin GPS C580
Comment: All I have to say is awesome product. So awesome I bought another one for my other car and then my dad saw it work and he bought one. If you buy this make sure you go to any electronic store and buy a wireless FM transmitter so you can hear the gps through the car speakers. Another cool thing is that you can download over 5000 songs into this little creature. Say you are driving and listening to the music then the gps says turn here the music stops so you can hear the gps also you are driving and listing to your tunes and your cell phone rings. The music stops so you can hear your phone and then it tells you who is calling on the caller ID. Call me old fashion but this product is just awesome and it also will tell you when there is traffic ahead and route you another way. It does so much more, but I do not work for Garmin and when they want to pay me for my opinions I will share more about their products. I hope this helps you in your decission.
Only con I have about this is the speaker on the unit but once you get the wireless FM transmitter you can make it as loud as you like through the car stereo. One more thing the C580 has internet and the C550 has none. Both models are awesome.

Summary: Great GPS; a steal
Comment: 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.

Summary: Where have You been all my life
Comment: 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.

Summary: StreetPilot C580
Comment: 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.
