Garmin StreetPilot c580 review UPDATE: Most of the several generations old StreetPilot series, including this model, has been discontinued. For a more current recommendation, check out our Auto GPS buyers guide or go straight to our Garmin nuvi comparison chart. The Garmin StreetPilot c580 is the new flagship model in the StreetPilot line. It is nearly identical to the c550, except that it adds MSN Direct services (see coverage area), which it receives via FM radio signal.

TopoFusion goes Pro UPDATE: Check out ten reasons TopoFusion rocks. Longtime GPS Tracklog readers who are into backcountry adventure may know that I'm a big fan of TopoFusion. Well, Alan and Scott Morris have ramped things up a bit with the release of TopoFusion Pro.

PhotoFusion improvements (thumbnails appear on the map; mouse over enlarges them) Shapefile export This is a free upgrade for current registered users. The demo, available free to all, is fully functional. It merely adds the word "demo" over portions of the map. I've only played with it a little bit so far. The 3-D effects seem to be much smoother. If you try it out, let me know what you think.
