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.

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.

The c330 keeps track of places that you find and stores the fifty most recent finds in an easy to access list called Recent Selections, placing the most recently viewed at the top of the list. This becomes a very helpful feature if you visit the same places over and over and don't want the inconvenient of reloading the information in the unit multiple times.

Buyer's feedback: - nightmare to get but great to use
Customer service rep and Superviser were the worst I have ever ran across
All they did was telling Me what I did wrong
Never did they ask what can We do to make this OK
I can never tell every one I know or meet
You will never have a problem with Amazon
But product was great

Buyer's feedback: - * Good Price Old Tech ...
Two stars only because new technology has passed it by. Otherwise a great unit for the price.

I have had this unit for two years. Garmin discontinued it last year and is not supporting it. I do know that Garmin is not supporting the software I suggest that you ask Garmin if it will provide a free map upgrade for a newly purchased unit. The unit is a solid performer and easy to read. I recommend the dashboard mount. It does not move around and is easy to store when you park. GPS' are the Number 1 "smash and grab" item. Just leaving on the windshield mount may be enough incentive for some one to smash a window to see if the unit was left in the car. This Garmin has a number of outstanding features. My favorite features are its easy to read screen and its long battery life. Depending where I am, it takes between 30 seconds and three minutes to lock onto a satellite. The steps to input a destination could be more efficient. There are a lot of neat features to explore. The POIs are limited and out of date. If you do not mind old tech (slower satillite connection) and maybe an earlier map version, this is a great choice.

Buyer's feedback: - Great Travel-mate
Bought this for my wife because she liked my Garmin Street Pilot. Ease of use was very critical. This takes care of her problem of not being able to read a map. Have recommended to others, as well.

Buyer's feedback: - * Garman GPS ...
The product works great but they could have erased the previous memory out of it so I didn't have all the BS that was from the previous users.
