Garmin 580

The Garmin 580 did a great job getting me to my new city. However, the MSN Direct was a little off or on. It lost service about halfway through my trip, so I couldn't get the live updated traffic or gas prices, which I wanted going through DC. But For it's current price, 149, I believe is a great buy.

150$ Well worth Every Penny!

Now at the low cost of 150$ which includes the latest map update from Garmin, free downloadable extras from Garmin's website when you register. Anti-theft protection, MP3 Player, Text to speech, a free year of MSN Direct service (Which has provided accurate movie listings and traffic information, gas prices can sometimes be outdated)as well as accurate directions.

My few slight gripes-
POI database is not as updated and complete as I'd like it to be, but you can save many custom locations in your favorite file

One way streets, I live in Milwaukee, a medium sized city, so you'd think the information in the newest downloadable maps would be updated and complete, not the case! Often when I'm downtown the unit tells me to turn the wrong way on a one way street. I know this is njot necessarily Garmin's fault, but the map software company's, however if Garmin uses them they should ensure they are getting the most up-dated and accurate maps.

Overall for the low price an amazing unit!

Beyond Expectation

This GPS is so good that if you purchase one you can be confident it will do everything it says and easily. I have owned numerous handheld gps's for marine use but never had one for my car. This is so user friendly and works much better and easier than the ones that I have used in Friends autos that are built in and 10 times more expensive. The MSN direct works ok and you get it for free for the first twelve months to see if you like it and renewals are cheap. The display and voice directions are easy to understand and the bluetooth for your hands free phone is a nice bonus.

At the Bargain Price, Too Good to Pass Up!

I'll make this review short and to the point. This device works extremely well. I bought it for my girlfriend who recently moved to downtown Philadelphia, and it has yet to give her bogus or misguided directions. If you are in an unfamiliar area, you will thank yourself for buying the item. (I can't speak to its capabilities/accuracy outside of a large metropolitan area, though!) The touch screen is bright and works well. A free year of MSN Direct is icing on the cake.

Here are the cons: It doesn't come with an AC adapter (sold separately), so it can only be charged with the included car adapter, which is just annoying. It is a little "chunkier" than the other Garmin navigators, so you can't carry it in your pocket. Occassionally, it takes a few extra moments to locate the satellites.

All in all, a worthy and recommended purchase.

Garmin Street Pilot C530

This is the second one that I have purchased. I was pleased with the first purchase I now purchased one for my daughter.

It is easy to program and to follow.

It would be even greater if there were more options on directions (ex. more direct, alternate directions).
