 DON'T SPEND MORE --THIS IS ALL YOU'LL NEED January 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had a Magellan 2000 before I bought the C330. It had two more bells/whistles which I never used, and only 2mil poi's. It was much more difficult to operate, and not as visible, and the voice quality was sub par.
The C330 is quite a bargain. The audio quality is loud and superbe and easiliy adjustable with a control rather than a screen command.
The picture is bright and large, the updates are frequent -- it will tell you when you are a mere 20 feet from a turn, and the reliability and ease of operation is unmatched.
I don't know how they do it for the money -- but I'll never drive again without one.
 Not so great in Puerto Rico January 23, 2008

I can't comment on how this works in the United States but in Puerto Rico it isn't that useful. It does track your location accurately and it does acquire the satellite quickly. It rarely lost satellite signal. However, there were several issues with this unit. Most importantly, it does not always give the most efficient route. It also led me onto roads that I could either not turn on because they were one way, or would be dead ends. Also, when i would search for gas stations, it would show me stations 20 miles away when other stations were only a mile away or so. The points of interest were limited and some very important landmarks were not recognized. Also, it will say on the screen that a turn is approaching and how far away it is, but it will not say if you turn left or right, you must wait for the voice prompt to find that out.
Garmin C330 Review January 22, 2008
The unit was delivered in perfect working order. It has been tested and used very successfully. Thanks!
 Garmin has been a goodie January 21, 2008
A Christmas gift for my son (after buying one for myself!), the Garmin is a goodie. I got reburbished units for both of us, no problems - so the price was right! The only negative thing I have heard from my son (who is an experienced programmer) was that he needed updated maps in the city he is living in which has had recent growth so use is limited right now in his home-town, and there was one glitch in the programming where he entered 2 addresses when prompted with a question along the lines of "would you like to go to this first?", but he was sent to a former address when the directions came on, a programming glitch. Very minor matters easily worked around when you know they exist. For the price paid for the units, we consider it a super bargain and always have the confidence that we aren't going to get lost. And new maps can always be ordered. Recommended to buy a dashboard mount and an AC charger for long-term convenience, adding a few more dollars.
Very handy in a new town January 21, 2008
I am very happy with the Garmin overall. You can set your preferences to avoid highways or u-turns and change the voice (language or accent).
My only real complaint with this GPS is that it does not take you the most direct to get someplace, it zig zags so I end up taking three rights and the three lefts rather than going straight and taking one turn at the end.
