One of the best products I ever bought from amazon.com. It rocks and works like a rock.

GARMIN C 580 STREET PILOT-
THE MSN SUBSCRIPTION IS AWFUL- DO NOT DO 1 YR FREE TRAIL THAT IT COMES WITH!! IT CONSTANTLY TRIES TO UPDATE SOFTWARE BUT NEVER DOES AND THE MSN UPDATING SCREEN BLOCKS OUT THE WHOLE VIEW OF THE SCREEN SO YOUR LEFT WITH VOICE ONLY!! I LIVE IN WESTERN LONG ISLAND NY WHERE THE COVERAGE AREA SUPPOSED TO BE GREAT- WHAT A JOKE. THE UNIT ITSELF IS OK BUT SHOP AROUND THERE HAS TO BE BETTER..

The c580 is an adequate product in terms of GPS capabilities but suffers from the following problems:
(MAJOR Issue)
1) Poor Customer Support (Read - if its breaks - you're on your own)
The suction mount on my GPS stopped working (GPS would fall off) and I promptly called the number given on the manual to get it replaced under warranty. The lady who picked up the phone initially asked me what the problem was and said "ahem...let em transfer you to the auto dept". The auto dept had a pre-recorded message that said "All agents are missing. Pls accept to wait at least *30* minutes" - which is ridiculous. My call was never picked up and I eventually gave up. Needless to say - I'll never buy Garmin again.
Other problems (minor)
2) Bulky Design: This is a older generation of GPS. Look for other families (i.e. not c500 series) if you would like a sleek/lightweight device.
3)Slow Startup: Often takes > 1 minute. During cloudy days - can take longer.

First off this is my 3rd Garmin GPS. I purchased a C340 for myself and my girlfriend and then after reading some of the positive reviews for the C580 I decided to purchase it and give my C340 to my daughter. What a mistake that was. I can't really knock the unit while it works. But after 6 months of usage my original unit decided to die. I tried to power it on and it was just dead. Now comes the part that I dreaded and that was to contact the Garmin support. I called around 4pm one day and was given an estimated wait time of 30 minutes which turned out to be 60+. Ok so not everyone can estimate. I got a guy who obviously was having a bad day and proceeded to describe my problem. I was then asked to do several tasks that I had already tried a number of times. With the same result. He then gave me a RMA and asked me to return my "new" unit for repair. I received the replacement "Factory Refurbished" unit about a week after and wasn't too keen on it being a refurb but gave it a chance. The GPS worked fine but when I tried to get the bluetooth function working it would display "Enabling Bluetooth" then die. I would then have to power down the unit to get out of the screen. I called the Garmin support line again and waited about 40 minutes for a tech. He then asked for my email and sent me a few things to try and ways to reset the device. I downloaded several versions of the software for bluetooth and all of them failed. A version of the bluetooth firmware actually caused the unit to digress even further. I contacted Support again and he gave me a RMA and asked me to send the unit back....again.
I got another "Factory Refurbished" unit sent to me about a week and a half later. This time it was dead out of the box. I actually started laughing. The Garmin product support was worse than anything I had ever dealt with and that goes for Microsoft or even Verizon cause when you get those clowns they actually help you. It took me close to an hour to get another real person on the phone. This time Katy was the rep. I explained all that had happened and that I was ready to take all of my Garmin products and run them over with my truck(I also have a handheld Garmin Etrex Vista). She asked me to do another reset of the unit and when nothing happened she told me to hold on and talked to her supervisor. When she go back on she asked me to send the unit back to Garmin and that they were going to send me a "New" Garmin Nuvi 780 as a replacement for the C580 and for my going through hell over the past 6 weeks. Its 3/25/09 and I have to send back the unit, which they're paying for this time, by the way. I also have to have them transfer a "Lifetime Map" Update License I purchased for the C580. That should be fun ya think? I'll keep you posted.

Absolutely love this! Its not that fancy sleek,in-pocket,cycle riders GPS..but its more than that in every sense. Agreed its bulky, but it's the best at the basic features a GPS should have. I love the bluetooth feature, and able to make calls to any destination,hotel,movie theater with the little 'call' button that picks up your bluetooth and makes calls as if its an i-phone. I love it !!
