 Not perfect but make you feel safe July 19, 2007
You can not rely on this product totally for the following reasons.
1. The route it gives may not be the best one.
2. It only tells how far the next turn is but not telling the name of the street. It takes a while to get used to it. I still peek on the screen to see the street name before I turn.
3. Since it does not give naming direction, if you are in the intersection of serveral highways, you should just count on yourself.
 What a great GPS! July 12, 2007
At Christmastime, I was eyeing different GPS units while shopping. My husband picked up on my cue! He is a shopper who will look, and look again at many different products to find just the right one. He will investigate it further, until finally making a choice. On Christmas morning, he suprised me with this unit! I can't tell you how much I love it! I take it just about everywhere! Besides taking me flawlessly to places that I've never been to, I love the feature that tells me what time I will get there. Within a few months, I bought another adapter for our other car, so either myself or my husband can use it. In May, my parents were taking a trip to Florida and they borrowed "Christine" (We named her the female version of Christopher, as in Columbus- the navigator!) By about 4 hours into their trip, they couldn't believe how great it was; showing them where food, hotels, and gas were! This item was so affordable, that for Father's Day, we bought one for my father! (They named theirs "Dora"!) There are newer and different models of this, but I don't know why anyone would look further than this! This little unit has all you need, and is a great price. If you even get stuck in traffic, hit the Detour button and it will re-route you! Who could ask for more!

the gps system works well, i expected the system to say the name of the street or road you should make the turn on.
i should have asked more guestins.
C320 Garmin StreetPilot June 18, 2007
I love this product! Good price and the touch screen makes it so easy to use. Screen size seemed like it might be small but I was pleasantly surprised that it was very easy to see and read while driving.
 Outstanding, but there are better Garmin Units Now June 16, 2007

This is a terrific unit that calculates\recalculates very fast! Miss a turn? No problem. The 320 will recalculate your trip in 1-3 seconds and inform you of the new instructions and the POI (Points of Interest) are among the best out there at any price.
I use it even in areas where I know where I do not need directions. The reason is because I found that POIs come in very handy when I want a new place to eat or need to call ahead. I use it mostly for for locating resteraunts or calling in To-Go orders if I'm in a hurry.
Loading maps is as easy as sending email but the supplied SD card is a bit small if you travel across many states. I bought a very inexpensive 2g SD card and loaded the entire US with room to spare. Now that I have the US loaded I expect to never touch the card again and have since deleted the maps from my computer.
The only two complaints I have with this unit are the screen and suction mount.
The screen must be tilted down away from the sun to see it. Thanks to the voice turn by turn instructions I find it is not necessary to see it, but I do wish it were brighter.
The suction mount failed after only a few months. I opted for a friction mount from Amazon and couldn't be happier. It is easy to move from car to car and stays where I put it.
As good as it is I'm giving it 4 stars because of the mount and less than bright screen. If you can find it at a good price and decide to get it you will receive a nice and very capable unit that will serve you well. However, Garmin has the 330 and 340 now which are basically the same unit but have pre-loaded maps and the 340 reads the streets for you. If money is a concern get the 320. Otherwise, go with the 330 or 340 but be ready to accept the screen and suction mount issues. You won't get a brighter screen unless you pony up quite a bit more cash, or decide to go with another brand and risk trading off some features and getting a smaller POI database.
