can you slide the map with your finger on the c580? I used to own a garmin and I could slide the map around with my finger, much like you can do on google maps with a mouse. I could then touch a POI and then have the garmin calculate the route. Then one day I went to CA and rented a car with one of these models, and it did not have that feature, nor did it have the POI I was looking for. So I had to connect my laptop via my cellphone to the internet and go to google maps. (which really did not make me happy).

Yes, you can slide the map around with your finger. You select view map and then "browse" and then you can move the map around with your finger.

The rental car versions are restricted and you can't do that while you drive. That would have been the reason why! :)

The 810 has a very high-level mapset installed-- unusable for turn-by-turn or street-level navigation. For that you have to buy one of the mapsets that they offer for the device, and also, you'll need to have a memory card to store that on because the internal memory in the device is not enough. Great device, however-- I've been happy with it.

What is the question? The touch screen system works just great on the Garmin. It even works well wearing gloves. Easily understood page changes. If you are looking for a comparison with a Magellan, I can't help.

Nothing that I've noticed except for a slightly smaller screen. I travel a lot off of recognizable roads that are on the garmin maps but the "tracks feature" draws a line everywhere I've driven even if the GPS does not recognize a road.

Yes. I've never done it; but the manual says you can enter & find locations by geographic coordinates (e.g., helpful when geocaching).

While I am still getting used to this system I was shown the other day at a geocaching meeting how to enter coordinates so if you were hiking you could enter the coordinates for where you wished to hike, but it will only show you how to get there "as the crow flies". It's not like a regular GPS in your car that follows roads & highways. May not be suitable for hiking because of this.

I also bought a mio c520the has US maps on it by default. I was told by mio that I CAn't use Europe maps on it since the US models is only for US maps. Has anyone had the same experience?

Yes, you can track where you are going. Push the menu button until you get to the options screen, there is an icon labelled Tracks. Select it and at the top of the tracks menu there is a tracking on/off button, highlight the on option and hit enter. It will record your tracks. When you're done go back into the tracks menu and turn tracking off and SAVE IT, it will save the tracks and give you the option to name it or change the colour of the tracks. If you turn the gps off and restart it in a different location with tracking still on it will snap a line from your last known point to where you reacquired a signal. After you save your tracks you can clear the memory to make room for other tracks, just DON'T DELETE THE SAVED FILE. I've noticed when you save your tracks it will sometimes straighten out your tracks and make it more linear that what was originally recorded, so be careful. I've also used a garmin colorado 400t, the tracks on that are way more detailed, so you may want to consider getting one of those, but it's not as rugged as the 76csx and it's a bit less user friendly. Hope that helps.

I do a lot of geocaching and the XGPS150 works great. The navagation program I mostly use is called copilot and it does have voice directions but I don't think that has anything to do with the XGPS150 but with the program. I have not tried it with google maps but again that would depend on if google maps supports voice directions. I am using it with 2 different iPads, a 2 and a mini and it works great on both. Not sure if this will help you or not but I hope so. PS, I am using iOS7.1

Sorry for the late reply, I just got my 1450. I use Garmin's Mapsource trip/route planning software. I've been using it for over 3 yrs to plan routes with various Garmin's and it works great! you can zoom way out or in very close, click on the road you want to be on, zoom out and click the next. You can insert waypoints etc. When we plan a trip I always plan it with Mapsource.

Maps in Garmin format (not protected, for example Lambertus/opensteeetmap.nl) could directly be downloaded to the device or SD card on the device in USB mass storage mode when you see the device and inserted SD-card as disk drives. The same works with GPX tracks.

I haven't used it yet but it does track where you have gone so that you can take the same way back. I bought it for equine trails. The map is not loaded but I found a sight where it's only around 9 bucks. You can fine many different maps there. It's called way points. You set way point & it draws a line from one to the next. You can set as many as you want on your trail. I plan to set one at every trail head. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/maps/on-the-trail-maps/c452-c456-p1.html

stay away from any Mios,unless you want 50 year old maps..just returned a c230 thinking the maps were updated from the c310x i returned,but they are still way out of date.Mio doesnt have a clue about maps...my 2 year old Garmin C320 has way more updated maps than a Brand new Mio...be warned with this Brand you get waht you pay for!!

I cheap Hand Held works great. I've used the the Garmin GPS60 myself. Pop in a couple AA's and it last quite a long time. That with my pocketPC which I kept all my CACHE data on was what I used. I plan to switch over to using the IPHONE as soon as I get one. It's a all in one type of thing. I'd have the CACHE data, GPS, and a Camera all in one which makes things a snap. Less to carry. Good for a Adult, but if your bring your kids for example, the GPS60 is simple and pretty tuff. If it's dropped on the ground or in the water, it's safe!!! Enter the Data for the CACHE your looking for into it and hand it to your kid and it basically has a Arrow on the screen you can use pointing the direction you need to go along with distance. It's also cheap!!! Not sure if they still sell it or if there's a updated version. It was like $99 at the time. I've had it for quite a few years now. A NUVI for example really isn't a good GPS for Geo Caching!!! You can get a expensive fancy GPS with color and all that, and spend $400 or whatever, but it really not going to make things all that much better. You really don't need a MAP. In fact with the right software for your PC, you can save all the CACHE way points your Interested in to your NUVI for Car use to get you to the Location, and a cheap Hand held once at the area. you don't need a Map or anything on the handheld. My GPS60 supports Geo Caching, will show Open and closed Treasure chests for Geo Locations for found and not found. So both can be plugged into your PC and the waypoints saved onto them both. Then you don't have to manually enter them.

I was surprised when I got this that it didn't tell you how in the manual. The way I turned it on is to change your profile. Go to the tools (wrench and screwdriver at the bottom of the screen) and select profiles. If you select "vehicle" it will give you directions when you input a destination. At least mine did when I told it to go to a geocache. As for your maps, I have both selected. World maps and Detailed. The detailed is the summit and city series, so I would bet it would have to be checked to enable the turn by turn. Good luck.

Thank you!My OS is 7.161 but my map version is 705. The 710 is available for 50 Euros...(?)I downloaded the Starbucks POIs from the tomtomforum but the only way to access them is through the Browse map feature. The Starbucks icons appear on the map and I can select one and then Navigate there.Should the 710 map version be available with the One out of the box or is it an upgrade?Thanks again for your help.

Version 2 - 2009 Do not look or any password to allow them on the unit, it is not protected, but you cannot put the entire disk on at one time, and need to load each area map you desire individually.I really only use it for the topo maps anyway...not as a GPS. It beats folded paper in your pocket.You can easily load free maps into the unit though...MSR has them online for free. Once in, I clone the unit, using the backup feature. Garmin after market crap is expensive...way over priced.
