MSN Direct is a service that allows you to pick up streaming data such as weather via a FM receiver built into the Garmin GPS power cable. The best thing about MSN Direct is that it's available in major Canadian cities. What can dynamic content from MSN® Direct do for you? Get info about MSN coverage in your area.

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 MSN® Direct with a 1 year free trial service.*

The portable StreetPilot c580 comes ready-to-go right out of the box with City Navigator street maps. This GPS navigator delivers the same, easy-to-use, navigation as the popular selling c300 series with many enhancements like Bluetooth® wireless technology (with built-in microphone and speaker) for hands-free calling with compatible Bluetooth® phones.

It includes a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. In addition, the c580 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs. Just 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 also announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road.
