Sorry, haven't a 580, but a 780, which I've had for a couple of years. If the only difference is screen size, then it does the business okay. I've only owned Garmin (although used a multitude of other makes) and am quite used to setting them up; I think my previous one was a 570. The displays have been clear and I have the sound on quite a low setting and can still hear it okay. You get 3 or 4 updates a year, although it does take Garmin a year or so to catch up with new roads and new road layouts.
The 780 has only tried once to send me down an unsuitable 'unclassified' road, in north Devon, and in Brixham wanted me to turn right at a T-junction, when doing so would have probably ended with me grounding the rear of my moho. An annoying feature of the 570 was to cover the display with a warning message when driving in weight restricted 'Access Only' areas in an artic, and even when acknowledging the message, 20 seconds later it'll put the message up again; doesn't make planning ahead very easy.
The 570 was okay in a car, HGV and moho and the 780 is fine in the moho.
