i'm not a huge tech head. i was just looking for a reliable, basic GPS and lucked out on this garmin at a great price....i realize that this model is no longer the newest and best, but i read alot of positive reviews about this model before i chose to buy it....and i agree with all of them. it is a solid, very easy to use GPS unit. the simple design (black w/one silver accent)is very handsome, compact and actually matched my interior dash, stylewise. The suction mount bracket is sturdy, not flimsy. the sound is clear and crisp. the image is great- at 3.5" i was impressed, never had to lean in, can see everything easily. the only nagging issue most repeated in reviews- about sunglare on the screen during the day....i never had issue with. i imagine anyone with a roof to cover, or with the gps mounted wisely, will never have that problem. i could not place mine in a position where it was a problem. i guess the reviewers were driving convertibles. solid, sturdy, reliable, attractive, compact, simple. I rate 9 out of 10. a 10 out of 10 would be if i wanted something newer or with more features.Read full review
The Garmin c330 is easy to use mechanically and logically. Maps are clear, voice directions are excellent. Normal occasional map errors and weird routings, but really solid. Lacks advance operations like for example, there is no fast way to enter current location as a waypoint. You can do it, but it is like a 12 button operation to get it in and back to the map again. The C330 cannot identify interesting landmarks along the way easily. It requires a long transition to another set of screens in order to get that done as well. No actual latitude and longitude is available for recording where you really are in a standard coordinate system. No knots. The automatic map scaling is almost perfect for road navigation. No way to see routing for going from point A to point B. It only shows it from where you are to point B. We couldn't find it. No satellite positions and signal strengths, no bread crumbs for where you have been, occasional screwball max ever speeds, limited city name labeling (It probably assumes you basically know what city you are in), no true north headings other than the 8 cardinal directions, no magnetic course. Overall, Garmin C330 is really good at what it is designed to do, i.e. give you road driving directions for getting from where you are to somewhere else. Good mount. Easy to lift out without hassling the suction cup. Good battery life. Good sound quality and volume, multi-language support and a good screen. Really easy to use.Read full review
Each driver in our family has one of these units. Our teenager is so impressed with this that she persuaded a group of her friends to purchase this as a present for another friend just getting her license. Without the group contributing, the cost of the unit would have been prohibitive. The Garmin is accurate so long as you have a physical address for a location and the unit has been downloaded with map upgrades within a reasonable amount of time (a year or so). Garmin doesn't recognize short-cuts right away so it takes you on main routes from Point A to Point B. It does, however, "catch on" to a variation of a route when you alter your journey to route more familiar or preferable to you. We like best how Garmin tells you the time you will arrive (very accurate), allows you to program "favorite" destinations so that you don't have to type in an address, shows your route on a close-up or large-scale map, that you can anticipate left or right turns by hitting the "next" button (helpful to know which lane to drive in) and gives you the ability to look up restaurants, motels and other locations by category when you don't have an address or, for example, just want to find a good Italian restaurant. We least like that Garmin doesn't know new roads or names of roads (has to be plugged into your computer for downloads) or takes you on a route that seems to be longer than necessary. Oddly, it seems to take an "attitude" in its voice when you vary from the route Garmin has calculated. Our family would recommend the Garmin because the good features and its utility vastly outweigh the things we dislike about it.Read full review
I sell all kinds of GPS systems, for car and boat. I love this one. It does not take up a whole lot of space, yet it is richly packed with features! Even though this unit was produced a few years back, Garmin continues to update it and update mapping to current versions. This is still a favorite as for someone just looking for a GPS without all of the bells and whistles this one is priced right and a very good accurate GPS. Upstate New York Police Dept Rookies purchase these from me, they are popular with the force for their low price and ease of use. I have been told by the officers that these are "Dummy Proof". I have to agree, very easy to use! With Gas prices soaring a GPS can be a real asset to save you time and gas. Don't waste your time and money being lost! Garmin continues to amaze me as they put out a sturdy, functional top notch product. I have very few returns with Garmin and they offer outstanding customer service.Read full review
SALLI is the name I gave the "lady" inside my GPS (Self Automated Latitude and Longitude Instructor). On a recent family trip across the country (from OH to TX), my wife and SALLI didn't quite get along. You see, the most recent Garmin map software updates aren't exactly...up to date — and that can be frustrating, but its not SALLI's fault (as I tried to explain to my wife several times). I'd say during our trip the GPS maps were about 95% accurate — which to me was pretty good. Garmin said they had software with more up to date maps but that software wasn't a free update, it was like $75. I wasn't thrilled with that response and figured I could get by for now on the software I had. About the unit: I was happy with everything that came with the GPS unit (i.e. car charger, mounting bracket, USB cable and carrying case). The bracket mounts on the windshield, but also comes with an adhesive base for dash mounting. However, the dash in my mini-van is slightly textured and the base would not adhere to it, so I was forced to mount it on my windshield. The touch screen works great. The options are very useful. On my trip I was able to track my average speed, drive time, mileage count down and max speed (which my wife wasn't thrilled about when she woke up and saw that I had topped 98 in our mini-van). We did have to manually change the time when we crossed time zones, which wasn't a huge hassle, but I was hoping it would be smart enough to automatically adjust. Also, SALLI can be very stubborn. You see, we've driven this trip several times and we know the best route and SALLI had most of our route correct. However, a few times when we decided to override SALLI's suggested directions, instead of recognizing right away that we had taken a different route, she kept telling us to take the next exit and turnaround and go back — she did this for about 5 or 6 exits and then finally gave in to our new route. Overall, I love this GPS unit. Its fun, its informative, its incredibly useful. If you can pick one up for less than $150 (including shipping), I'd highly recommend it. The only reason I'm giving it a "good" instead of an "excellent" is because of Garmin's map software accuracy.Read full review
