Customer Reviews


Great GPS
This GPS makes my life so much easier. Gains GPS signal quickly, easy to see at day or night, and easy to hear. Battery lasts long. Garmin gives free software updates. Been using frequently for years and I've had no problems.Nothing bad to say about it.


Great GPS
We got one of these in August of 2008. We loved it and used it a LOT until it was stolen from our car (last night.) We paid a whole lot less for this than it's listed for now, so I'm not sure what we will get for a replacement. If our insurance allows it, we will get another one of these. The c580 might be larger and bulkier than other models, but it had everything we could want in a GPS. Some of the maps were out of date, but that tended to be in rural areas. We would recommend this Garmin!


Time tested for 2 years.
I have had this item for 2 years and it has been nothing but a great buy. The MSN Direct feature is very convenient. Having the ability to check gas prices by the touch of a button is nothing less than stellar. I would recommend it highly.


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