ln-car navigation has never been easier - or more affordable. 0ur StreetPilot 'c-series' GPS navigators feature a simple touchscreen interface, with automatic route calculation to any destination and turn-by-turn voice-prompted directions along the way.

Plus, the StreetPilot c320 and StreetPilot c330 allow you to choose between a three-dimensional navigation view or the more traditional 'bird's eye' overhead view.

For the ultimate out-of-the-box convenience, the StreetPilot c330 comes preprogrammed with highly detailed MapSource City Select street data.

The possibilities are endless - upload safety cameras or school zones, and you will receive a warning if you are traveling too fast. ln addition, an optional proximity-alert feature notifies you of upcoming custom P0ls.

The centerpiece of both units is a bright, 3.5-inch diagonal, 16-bit color display that makes navigation a snap. The StreetPilot c330 features dual integrated speakers for high-quality voice prompts, and an internal lithium-ion battery for out-of-car route planning.

Buyer's feedback: - * Never get lost again ...
Unit works great, cuts traqvel time down by putting me in the correct lane on the highway for the exits. Love the addition info on the secondary screens. Maps clear, sharp and almostt always correct (95% of the time).

Would recommend to anyone who drive in different areas for work or pleasure.

Buyer's feedback: - Definitely a great investment if you are bad with directions.
Let me first say shipping took about a week, which is pretty good as it was the free shipping option.

So I just finished testing this unit while i was out and about on a film shoot this past weekend. The film had three different locations in So. CA that i had to navigate to and it worked awesome. Its super easy to use and worked awesome! I just typed in the address and it took me right to the place and often using the fastest route. For example; one particular location, everybody else took one route and I followed my GPS and I arrived there before everybody else.

One thing that I love about it is how it re-calculates the route if you miss the turn (which I purposely did to test how it would react). It takes about 5 seconds to recalculate.

A really cool safety feature is that while your in motion it doesn't allow you to input an address, which you shouldn't be doing anyway because you should be watching the road and not typing in an address so that's kind of a cool built in feature.

The included mount is very secure and amazingly solid. I'm really impressed with it! The power cord plugs right into the mount so when you remove the GPS you don't have to unplug anything. That is a great feature! Way to go Garmin.

The one "con" i noticed is that it didn't have a certain city in the map(Toluca Lake), which is a small city located between Burbank and Studio City. I'm not really that surprised it doesn't have that city because Toluca Lake is almost a city within a city.


But overall this GPS Rocks! I am horrible with directions and have a knack for getting lost so I am really pleased that I finally picked up a GPS. With my busy schedule I just didn't have the time to Mapquest everything. Now I can just punch in the address and go. I will be using this all the time. I would definitely recommend it. It's one of the best purchases i've made.

Buyer's feedback: - * I bought my second Street Pilot c330 ...
I bought my first c330 2 years ago and thought it was great. Recently the battery went dead and I stupidly took it apart, bought a new battery and replaced the old one. Disaster!! I lost all the memory. I wanted to get another of the same model because I do not like the "voice" in all the newer models naming the street of the next instruction. The voice is chopped and I find it annoying. So I am once again overly pleased with the Garmin Street Pilot c330.
