This GPS is less than 6 months old and started having issues after an update. This was their answer. Don't buy garmin
Garmin GPS is garbage

Do a factory reset and start over. Maybe your update was corrupted somehow. I've used Garmin almost exclusively and never had an issue. The one time I tried another brand, I bought a Magellan because it was on sale...2 weeks later I bought another Garmin.
Trucking in Tennessee, doc43204, PE_T and 2 others Thank this. -
Navigation is not a perfected system and I doubt it ever will be
59EX, snowmantrucking101 and SteerTire Thank this. -
Garmin never did have a very good POI database. You had to get them from a third party and even then it was just a list of Pilots....
Lame support message.QuietStorm and HighwaySuperTramp Thank this. -
Metallica88, QuietStorm and BCV Thank this.

OP.. You should reply to Eric and tell him Garmin is truly lucky to have such a helpful product support employee.doc43204, LGarrison and Snailexpress Thank this. -
I booked a hotel room last week. I wanted a specific room because it had a bath positioned in front of a window.
Their response, Dear xxxx, All our rooms have a bath that includes a shower or tub.
My SO is still laughing her ### off. I had to call in person after that. -
Garmin did have a Yetti text to speech option. it would just growl or grumble some nonsence at you. "Blaugh war guhh" "yarr girr wah"

I use truckers path for truck stops
HighwaySuperTramp Thanks this. -
To everyone suggesting that I try things. This was after trying to update reset factory reset and then RI update the Garmin, for those who aren't reading the message they are admitting it's a software problem on their end and they are not willing to fix it for the 580. I bought the 580 as an alternative when my Rand McNally quit on me oh, and I thought it was going to be a good option. Six months in owning this GPS this is what they give me, this is their amazing customer service and it is an absolute joke
