Garmin StreetPilot c580 review

 

The Garmin StreetPilot c580 now offers MSN Direct services so you can get real-time traffic and weather information as well as local gas prices and movie times. The unit also has text-to-speech functionality, integrated Bluetooth, and multimedia...

The MSN Direct service isn't available in all areas, and names of gas stations weren't always provided. The c580's media player also only supports the MP3 format.

In addition to accurate driving directions, the high-end Garmin StreetPilot c580 provides a number of useful tools to the driver, such as real-time traffic data and local gas prices, thanks to the integration of MSN Direct services.

Review: Garmin's c580 makes fast work of other GPSes

 

My head is spinning with all the new GPS products hitting the market. GPS systems have been very popular all over the world and now they're catching on in the U.S.A. Why? In other countries, (Asia, Europe) the way...

Excellent GPS, good screen - even in sunlight.

MSN Direct isn't available everywhere, and the music player only plays MP3 files.

A– Great touchscreen, good GPS. MSN Direct isn't available everywhere and not everyone will want to pay extra for that service.

Garmin StreetPilot C580 Review

 

The gang over at CNet have given their two cents worth on the new MSN connected Garmin model, this one being the Garmin StreetPilot C580 with MSN Direct. Their review borrows heavily from their original review of the StreetPilot C550, which it should...

Garmin StreetPilot c580 review

 

The Garmin StreetPilot c580 is the new flagship model in the StreetPilot line. It is nearly identical to the c550, except that it adds MSN Direct services (see coverage area), which it receives via FM radio signal. MSN Direct offers weather, movie...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great GPS for the Price

 

Although not as large of screen, this is a very strong starter GPS. I could not find anything close for less than twice the price. Newegg is awesome as usual. As expected and delivered in two days.

Has the most features for the price - touch screen, speech, MSN direct, blue tooth, great reception. Lots of extras that you do not expect - blue tooth includes address book from phone, local gas prices, multiple voice choices, and on and on

MSN Direct Traffic still needs some improvement. The green/yellow/red is a separate screen from NAV and is not very broad. However, traffic alerts are a great addition. Small con for all the pros. Deeper and smaller screen than more expensive models

STREETPILOT C580 GPS

 

This is a great unit with a great price. Very clear picture and sound, stores easly, hookups are simple. Fm is a must-- so far three friends have bought this unit after trying mine. Thanks PCNation and Garmin..

Reads text, fm receiver, a must at night time, easy programing, easy downloading, great unit for this price.

If waiting two minutes to find the satelite is a con, then that's about it--
