 VERY SATISFIED February 13, 2008
********First things first, i must say that this is the only GPS unit i have used so i have no point of reference********
*********I bought this in September of 2007*********
I first to decided buy a GPS unit because of my new job. I am a college admissions counselor and during my first travel season, i was required to visit over 80 high schools and about 15 college fairs. After doing some research (mostly on cnet, amazon, and circuit city), I decided to go with the C330 because of expert reviews, user reviews, cost, and the features.I must say, this unit made my job SO EASY.
I was able to easily find all but two locations without any problems. The high schools and colleges were already programmed into the GPS so i didnt even have to worry about typing in addresses. The ones I was not able find are diffucult to find anyway, according to people i spoke with. My job does include some downtime but i was able to find movie theaters, golf courses, restaurants, malls, and much more, with no problems. I was also easily able to figure out how long it would take for me to get to my next destination. This unit also allows for me to type in a specific location and then easily look for different points of interest in that area.
Initially, my girlfriend thought i was wasting my money. She didnt see the need for the unit. That soon changed when i showed her all it could do. SHe has relied on it on many occasions to get to places. She is not the most tech savvy person but was able to use the C330 with no problems. She now loves having the GPS around and has no complaints.
With all that being said, there are a few cons about this unit, including;
*The maps are not the most up to date but are still fairly new.
*Sometimes the routes chosen by the unit are not the most efficient but not a major issue, i never had any problems getting to my destinations and was never late to scheduled appointments and events
*The unit does take a few minutes to warm up (find current location of GPS)
THe pros of this GPS definitely outweigh the cons. I was looking at many entry level GPS systems and am glad i bought this one. If and when i do finally decided to upgrade, it will be another Garmin for me.
Will Get you there February 13, 2008
The Garmin GPS is great, is very accurate and the price was right. Would recommend this item.
Never get lost again February 13, 2008
The Garmin c330 has paid for itself by reducing the anxiety while traveling on vacation. We used the Garmin on a recent trip through Arizona and New Mexico and always knew where we were and how to get to our next destination. Even if we took an unscheduled side trip, the unit always got us 'back on track'. A great product at a reasonable and affordable price.
This is sooo GREAT !!! February 10, 2008
Our son bought this for us last year for Christmas, and we absolutely love it sooo much!!! I never knew how bad I was with directions, I mean, I always got lot, took wrong turns, couldn't remember how far down a country road was, before I had to turn, and usually missed the turn grrr. But this took care of all of that !!!
We own a car lot and do several repos, so this has also helped us to find where the customer lives, easier to repo the cars :)
Anyhow, very few glitches, I mean, once it wanted to take me down the wrong way on a 1 ways street, and sometimes out on country roads, where farms have been rezoned and split for new homes, the address is either before or after where it says it is, but at least it gets me in the right area... We haven't yet updated it online, maybe that's what we need to do.
We used it when we went to Florida on vacation and it took us straight to the condo we stayed at, and actually got there 1 & 1/2 hours quicker than the year before without the Garmin.
We recently purchased 2 more of these exact models for both our parents, they think they are so cool. My Mother has named her Garmin "Gabby", lol... she says it's like having a little friend in the car with her :)
Anyhow, we love our little Garmin and if anything every happened to it, we would go straight out and buy another one :)
 Great Unit February 10, 2008
The unit is great and arrived quickly the maps are not up to date and the up dates are a little pricey but its a great buy.
