What more could you want from your Garmin StreetPilot? How about MSN Direct capability, which lets you receive up-to-the-minute traffic reports, local gas prices, weather reports and local travel times. The Garmin StreetPilot c580 does all this and is sleek and stylish to boot, with the same design as the c550 and pre-loaded maps for all of North America. Navigation was never so easy - or so fun!
Receive door-to-door directions while staying on top of weather, traffic and localized information with the StreetPilot c580. Similar to the c550, StreetPilot c580 comes with hands-free calling, preloaded maps and an MP3 player, then takes it up a notch by adding dynamic content from MSN Direct.
Get Localized Information
With dynamic content from MSN Direct, c580 is one resourceful navigator. Using the included receiver and free 1-year trial service to MSN Direct, you can check the weather, avoid traffic backups, compare local gas prices and check movie times and locations when you travel with your unit. The MSN Direct receiver is plug-and-play portable, making it easy to connect to your unit when out and about.
Navigate with Ease
StreetPilot c580 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the super-bright sunlight-readable color screen to enter a destination, and the c580 takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. In addition, the c580 accepts custom POIs, such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
Make Hands-free Calls
Talk about worry-free driving. The c580 integrates Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker, so you can pair it with your compatible Bluetooth phone. Then talk hands-free through the c580 while staying focused on the road. Now there's no more fumbling with your phone's handset to answer a call or dial a number - just tap the c580's screen and you're connected. With 1-touch dialing for POIs, you can conveniently call ahead for reservations or information.
Take It With You
The portable StreetPilot c580 conveniently moves from vehicle to vehicle with an easy, adjustable mount. Its compact size makes it convenient to take along on business trips and use in rental cars. c580 also comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for out-of-car route planning.
Enjoy the Extras
StreetPilot c580 is packed full of additional features that make it the perfect navigator. Its high sensitivity GPS receiver acquires satellites quickly and maintains signals even under heavy foliage or near skyscrapers. c580 also comes with an MP3 player, Garmin Lock (an anti-theft feature) and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. Customize your c580 with optional software on plug-and-play SD cards.
