Summary: Garmin StreetPilot c580
Comment: This is my first GPS so I did lots of research on the web to figure out which was the best one for me. The first step was to decide how much I wanted to pay which was no more then $200. The second step was to decide on features. I knew I wanted the GPS loaded with maps of both the USA and Canada, some systems don't come with maps of Canada unless you purchase them. The next feature I wanted was turn by turn with text to speech as I liked the idea of hearing the street names as I approached them. I also wanted a GPS that was rated as very accurate and fast. As for additional features like MP3 and picture viewer, thought it would be neat, but not essential. I began my research at CNET, Amazon, Best Buy and Circuit City plus a few other sites on the net I can't remember now. I read their reviews and also the reviews of the folks who actually bought the devices. I came down to the choice between the Garmin c580 and Garmin c550. The difference was that the c580 had MSN Direct services free which gives you local gas prices, real time traffic and movie times free for a year. Otherwise I could find no real difference. The price at the time I purchased the c580 was only a few dollars more. Now where I live there is no MSN coverage, but when I went to Las Vegas I had coverage and down in the southern part of Maine there is coverage. I have no plans to extend my membership once it expires. I have really liked the GPS as I have found it extremely accurate. The MP3 player works well, but because of the size of speakers, not really that great to listen to music. The display and voice are very clear. It has Blue tooth functionality. The screen size is 3.5 in which is right for me. I would recommend this GPS as very good. My only recommendation before you buy a GPS is to do your research and read the reviews of the folks who purchased it to get a good general sense of the product.

Comment: This is my 4th GPS, but my first for car use only.

Great item, quick signal pick up. Sound quality is the only minus. Very good value.
