Strengths: Fast GPS Connection, Bluetooth, Live Traffic Information.
Weakness: More Points of interest needed on this machine. MSN direct service isn't available everywhere.
I spend a lot of time on the road for work and I need a GPS that gives me live traffic update so I can avoid traffic jams on the freeway. I bought this GPS unit about 3 weeks ago after extensive research. This GPS fulfills all my requirements, which include updated maps, bluetooth, MP3 player, and live traffic update. This unit works great! it automatically receives traffic updates via MSN direct...
Strengths: Very realiable,compact, good battery life and clear verbal travel instructions.
Weakness: Slow to pick up satalite in the downtown areas of the major cities.
Bought the c580 for a recent trip to San Fran and Seattle as I have not been to these cities in years. Once the satellite connection was made I couldn't believe the accuracy of the unit. Took me to remote locations in Napa Valley as well as to locations in the cities. It even found a residence in a very private gated community in Seattle. Each instruction was clear and with ample warning prior to...
Strengths: Loads of features, easy to use
Weakness: Pricey, limited MSN Direct functions
The StreetPilot c580 is for the GPS navigation fan who wants it all. You get easy to use navigation, built-in Bluetooth, accident alerts and MSN Direct displayed on your screen. I previously owned a c530 with just the basic GPS features so I was really impressed that I could add all these features for about the same price I paid for the c530 just 9 months ago! The StreetPilot 500 series have a...
Strengths: Super sensitive GPS receiver; MSN direct Traffic, Gas, Weather, and Movie Information; Compatible with many Bluetooth cell phones; Intuitive and user friendly Strong window mount
Weakness: Dated Design, Only support MP3 format, Expensive,
Garmin is known to produce quality GPS products and the StreetPilot C580 is no exception. The GPS unit is basically the C550 with the exception of added MSN direct data service. With the same features and functionality of the C550, the C580 premium over the C550 is worth every penny. The C580 comes with 1 year of MSN direct data service, $50/yr after that. You can pay for the lifetime service for...
Strengths: Works well even in situations with glare. Names the streets. Haven't had to use the traffic avoidance feature yet. Great Reception.
Weakness: Odd shape. MSN direct only works when the car power cord is plugged.
Overall a great buy. I brought this over the C550 because of the live traffic feature, but I have yet to use it, but I've only had it for a week. Not sure it it is worth the extra cost almost $150-200 extra.
Strengths: Bright, easy to read screen; quick recalculation; portable; good mounting system; internal battery; large POI database
Weakness: Small screen; can't create your own route (although I'm not sure how many gps systems allow this); doesn't show multiple routes (shortest distance vs faster time) on one screen
This is my first gps system, and it's a pretty good one. The screen is bright and the interface is very user-friendly. I've used it several times in the last month to go to new places, and it has worked great. I wished it showed both the shortest distance route and the fastest time route on the same screen and allowed you to choose. This is not possible; you have to select which type of routing...
Strengths: fast response, portable, can run on battery, speaks street names
Weakness: screen gets fingerprints easily, does not display points of interest on screen
I have used this product for several days and am satisfied with most things. Not quite as sophisticated as my old Streetpilot 2620 as far as the display. I do appreciate how quickly it responds as far as loading maps and trip recalculations.
Strengths: Very Very easy to operate and use Directions and navigations accurate upto 95% Blue Tooth and MP3 player is great plus
Weakness: Frequenlty falls from dashboard mount Poor voice selection list Voice instruction either too detail or too brief Slightly bulkier device - minor thing
Overall it is a very good product. It is very very easy to operate and use. Very use friendly screen and easy navigation from one menu to another. Directions and navigation are accurate most of the time. Blue tooth and MP3 player makes it very nice. Major drawbacks include: The GPS frequently falls from dashboard mount. Poor voice selection list and voice instruction either too detail or too...
Strengths: Full feature loaded
Weakness: N/A
I have Mio 310x, and this one is for my wife. It is cute. With all the feature loaded. MSN direct gives you all the information including the traffic and other useful information. With this, you never lost and get stuck in the traffic. Compare to the Mio, the live traffic does make a lot of differences.

The 580 vs the 550
Strengths: Very user friendly, Display readable in bright daylight, multiple advance voice warnings of next turn and speaking of actual street name.
Weakness: Haven't found anything significant although I did find an error in MSN gas data.
Several weeks ago I drove with a friend who had a Garmin 550 and I just had to have one! I found a good price on the internet and ordered one. The day after it arrived, I had a meeting at a hotel in Buckhead (Atlanta, GA) It was invaluable in getting me through the rush hour traffic. When about three blocks from my destination on Lenox Rd, I was on a six lane road and when about two blocks from...
