Garmin StreetPilot c580
Garmin has announced the Garmin StreetPilot c580, a new top of the line device in the c500 StreetPilot series. The Garmin StreetPilot c580 features dynamic content from MSN Direct, including traffic, weather, gas prices and movie times.
Offering content in 100 markets in the U.S., a full year of MSN Direct service is included with the StreetPilot c580. Following the trial period, it will cost you $49.95 a year or $129.95 for the lifetime of the device. MSN Direct service is delivered via an FM signal, using the included receiver.
Otherwise, the StreetPilot c580 seems identical to the StreetPilot c550. Here’s the press release announcing the Garmin StreetPilot c580 and Garmin’s other new MSN Direct connected device, the Garmin nuvi 680 . The StreetPilot c580 is expected to ship in the first quarter of 2007, at a sure to discounted suggested retail price of $857.13. I’m including a few screenshots of the new StreetPilot c580.
