 nice unit for short money June 21, 2008
I already had one of these for myself and bought another for a gift. Its simple to use - although it has led me down some dead-end streets, but I'm guessing that is a function of the satellite network. It has Good tonal quality on the audio. I'm sure there are better units out there, but this one is all I need and I like it.

Im sorry to say I can not review this item, it was supposed to be a gift for my sister but it arrived too late and I had to return it. But I have a Garmin NUVI and I love love love it. I wanted my sister to have a navigation because they are the best invention since the micowave.
 Simple to use and precise. June 16, 2008
I was impressed by the easy to use touch screen and controls. Programming locations into favorits was simple. Entering destinations was easy as well as logical. When operating, the screen display is just the right size and has a very self explanatory map view with arrows and precise street names and map coordinates. It was like watching my car from a helicoptor while a play by play was given. The maps were so exact that my destiation arrival notification and finish line flag came right as I was in front of the destibnation itself. It was impressive. The voice was also very neutral and pleasent. I would definitely purchase this one again for it's simplicity while performing what really is amazing technology.
Amazon was very responsive when I thought i had a product defect. The battery gave a "low" warning when I turned it on. I was concerned about this so I emailed Amazon who immediately sent a replacement as well as a return shipping label, just to be sure i was completely satisfied and had no issues with the purchase. It turns out that the battery will read "low" but that is normal and it charges in no time after being plugged in the car. I'm writing this to be sure anyone ordering doesn't have the same concern and also to share my excellent customer experience. Amazon is the one site I really feel confident in.
Surprisingly user friendly June 16, 2008
I admit to having a terrible sense of directions. If I don't have the route to somewhere memorized or have highly detailed written directions, I tend to get lost. This tendency is pronounced enough that most of my friends and family are well aware of it. Which eventually led to some of them buying a Garmin c330 for me in the hopes it would let me actually make it to their house and/or arranged meeting place.
Initially, I was suspicious. The Houston map grid is tricky and in the past Yahoo, Google, and MapQuest had all let me down when it came to directions. Generally by asking me to drive the wrong way down a one way street or turn left at an intersection that didn't allow that. So I was doubtful that a little gizmo I mounted to my windshield would actually do much better.
As it turned out, I was in for a surprise. This device tracks the position of my car accurately and has yet to ask me to do the impossible or illegal when driving. The maps are accurate, the directions are clear, and the verbal instruction feature they added is really handy at making sure you don't miss a turn or merger.
I was also impressed with how easy the whole thing was to operate. I enter mt intended destination and it sorts out the rest. Being able to tell it to get me how to get home with just a few clicks is a nice touch as well. This things was pretty clearly designed to be easily accessible to those who aren't all that tech savvy.
The only complaint I have is that the StreetPilot regularly takes a few minutes to establish contact with the GPS satellites and start working once it's powered up. This isn't a big deal, but I've seen other similarly priced units that connect faster.
Still, an easy to use interface, good directions, and an easy to read map make me an very satisfied customer. This is truly a handy device to own.

Terrific GPS, and very easy to use. I bought one for my wife, and got a second for myself after using hers for a few months.
