Product Description
In-car navigation has never been easier - or more affordable. Our 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. Selecting a destination is straightforward and requires only a limited amount of input from the user. 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 database features nearly six million points of interest?including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. (The c320 comes with a 128 MB SD card and a MapSource City Select CD-ROM for data transfer from a PC via a USB connection.)

As an added benefit, you can now import customized points of interest with the help of Garmin's free POI Loader software. The possibilities are endless - upload safety cameras or school zones, and you will receive a warning if you are traveling too fast. In addition, an optional proximity-alert feature notifies you of upcoming custom POIs.

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 new StreetPilot c-series boasts distinctive and sleek styling?the only buttons are a rotary volume knob and an on/off switch. The device is secured by a suction-mount cradle that fastens to the windshield for easy portability between vehicles.

Amazon.com Product Description
With a simple touch screen interface, automatic route calculation to any destination, and turn-by-turn voice-prompted directions, the StreetPilot c330 GPS navigator is a powerful companion for your adventures on the road. Plus, Garmin has designed the "c-series" of car navigation units to be as simple and easy-to-use as possible-- no more intimidating features, just straightforward, basic navigation at your fingertips. Selecting a destination is as simple as a few finger-strokes, and you can choose between a three-dimensional navigation view or the more traditional "bird's eye" overhead view.



The streetPilot "c-series" GPS navigators feature a simple touchscreen interface, with automatic route calculation to any destination.


The 3.5-inch diagonal, 16-bit color display makes navigation a snap.


The included database features nearly six million points of interests including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions.
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. Although the c330 boasts distinctive and sleek styling, simplicity is the name of the game. The only buttons are a rotary volume knob and an on/off switch. The device is secured by a suction-mount cradle that fastens to the windshield for easy portability between vehicles. You can customize the unit's appearance with an array of colored faceplates that are sold separately.

For the ultimate out-of-the-box convenience, the StreetPilot c330 comes pre-loaded with highly detailed MapSource City Select street data. The database features an industry-leading five million-plus points of interest, including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. The c330's bright, 3.5-inch diagonal, 16-bit color display makes navigation a snap. The unit also features dual integrated speakers for high-quality voice prompts, and an internal lithium-ion battery for out-of-car route planning.

It's also worth mentioning that with some GPS units the manual to use them is as thick as a phone book, but it was a pleasant surprise to find that the c330's manual was very easy to use and provided many screen shots to make sure the user understood the units capabilities. If you find yourself on the road looking for addresses often and just want a GPS to tell you where to go simply and clearly than this unit was made for you.


What's in the Box
StreetPilot c330 receiver, vehicle suction cup mount, PC/USB interface cable and quick-reference guide. Also includes a factory pre-loaded version of Americas Recreational Basemap and MapSource City Select North America CD with full unlock (for sale in North America).

3 out of 5 stars There was no A/C power adapter.   May 11, 2008

There was no A/C power adapter in the box. I'm disappointed.
There is vehicle suction cup mount w/12-volt adapter and PC/USB interface cable in the box , so it's OK.
But I wish I could get A/C power adapter too.



5 out of 5 stars GPS Navigation for the Masses   May 7, 2008
My girlfriend hates little gadgets as a matter of principle, but the Garmin c330 won her over in less than a week. In a matter of days, she had changed the language setting to French, and took to calling the synthesized female voice "Linda." (Not much of a loss, since Linda has a limited vocabulary to begin with. But for the record, the c330 can intonate its directions in British English, Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Belgian Dutch, Norwegian, Finnish, and Swedish -- and additional languages like Flemish and Portugese are available from Garmin's website as firmware updates)

The c330 is remarkably well-designed; it successfully strikes the delicate balance of being exceedingly simple to operate, while being powerful and feature-rich. Just as importantly, it is very affordable (albeit mostly due to the fact that they're refurbished, although you would be very hard-pressed to spot the difference). Imagine having a portable Mapquest that can give you door-to-door directions based on either street addresses or business names -- anywhere in the US. For the spatially-challenged, affordable and deftly-executed devices like the StreetPilot c330 are a godsend.

Most of the minor drawbacks of the c330 have already been brought up by other reviewers. Probably the biggest issue is Garmin's policy about providing map updates, or lack thereof. The c330's built-in mapset is decent enough as far as roads go, but it falls short in terms of being up-to-date with all the shops and businesses on your itinerary. Garmin releases an updated mapset every year, at a cost of about $75, with no discounts. At least it has an expansion slot for a SD card -- the latest mapset runs close to 2 gigabytes.

One last thing I'd like to mention is that while it may be tempting to leave it permanently mounted to your windshield using the supplied suction cup mount, it is illegal to do so in California. (Yes, I doubt that a police officer would pull you over based on that infraction alone -- but if you were in the process of being ticketed for something else, they might also feel like giving you another citation for the windshield mount) More importantly, it's far too attractive to would-be thieves, so we bought the Garmin friction mount and along with a cheap diaper bag. When we leave the car, we just tuck the whole thing, base and all, into the bag.




5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Deal   May 2, 2008
My husband is a painting contractor & travels daily to estimate work for new clients. He has wanted a GPS for a long time. I saw this refurbished one and couldn't believe how affordable it was priced. I was a little leary buying it (being a refurbish), but all the reviews were so good it convinced me. IT WORKS GREAT! You don't have to do anything - it worked right out of the box. We are totally satisfied!


5 out of 5 stars Love Love Love It !   April 29, 2008
Ordered on a Saturday and recieved it on Tuesday! Very impressive. I was nervous about it being a reconditioned unit, but we've had no problems whatsoever. Would recommend to anyone.


4 out of 5 stars Very good for it price   April 18, 2008
I bought this around a month ago. It is working really good. It is a good quality GPS for its price
