Our StreetPilot "c-series" GPS navigators feature a simple touchscreen interface, with automatic route calculation to any destination and turn-by-turn voice-prompted directions along the way. Selecting a destination is straightforward and requires only a limited amount of input from the user. Plus, the StreetPilot c320 and StreetPilot c330 allow you to choose between a three-dimensional navigation view or the more traditional “bird’s eye” overhead view. For the ultimate out-of-the-box convenience, the StreetPilot c330 comes pre-loaded with highly detailed MapSource City Select street data. The database features an industry-leading five million-plus points of interest—including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. (The c320 comes with a 128 MB SD card and a MapSource City Select CD-ROM for data transfer from a PC via a USB connection.) The centerpiece of both units is a bright, 3.5-inch diagonal, 16-bit color display that makes navigation a snap. The StreetPilot c330 features dual integrated speakers for high-quality voice prompts, and an internal lithium-ion battery for out-of-car route planning. The new StreetPilot c-series boasts distinctive and sleek styling—the only buttons are a rotary volume knob and an on/off switch. The device is secured by a suction-mount cradle that fastens to the windshield for easy portability between vehicles. Users can customize their unit’s appearance with an array of colored faceplates (sold separately). | | | Features: | |

 worked fine, but hard to updateOct 31, 2009
This GPS has worked fine for me for a long time. But updating the maps is a real pain. No of course, new GPS are smaller and cheaper. Before I buy a new GPS, I will check on how easy or difficult it is to update the maps.
 good buyOct 11, 2009
For under $100(refurbished) I do not think I could have made a better purchase. The device is very user freindly and easy to install.It comes with awindow mount, that works very well. The dashboard mount, however was not very effective and I would not recommend using it. As for the software, beware that it is very outdated (2005), and do not believe what you read, you will have to purchase the upgrades at around $70. As for the device itself, the voice directions are loud and clear (with 9 volume settings), and the device is very user frienldy, featuring 2d and 3d maps, with the option of spelling your address, business, destination etc. It also has a feature to save your location and that helped with the outdated map software.The battery life is excellent thus far, and a car charger was included. Home chargers have to purchased seperately. Other features include setting multiple stops before your final destinatation, menu options that seek out the closest resturants (asian, mexican, american,etc), gas stations, shopping malls, convenience stores, speciality stores etc. Further, the search option allows you to find locations in your vicinity eg. "Austin Walmart".The only real complaint besides the outdated map and the ineffective dashboard mount is the predictive text in the "enter address" field - the device does not allow you to enter the full name, but with an updated map version, I am sure it will find the address you are looking for. Overall, a good buy compared to the Tom Tom at a slightly higher price which has no voice navigation.
return on investment in one yearSep 21, 2009
I must have used this for three years and still works like new , I take it for camping , snowmobiling, road trips, it never failed, this product is perfect.
 Good.... butSep 17, 2009
Everything is perfect but it could not find satellite sometimes.
However, I am not sure that it is a problem from my GPS.
Great for the absolute cheapest I could findJul 18, 2009
This was the cheapest GPS I could find for sale. I have seen some random blow out specials slightly lower, but they are of an inferior product. I bought the refurbished version of this GPS. The maps are over a year old when you get it and even if you register you do not get a free update. I used it to travel and found it invaluable. Quick satellite communication and fast recalculations (for when you miss your turn anyway). The suction cup is amazingly strong. This is an older unit and is a little bulky. Given for $30 more you can get a thinner 4.3" unit I gave this a 4 star instead of a 5, if it were cheaper or thinner or a larger screen it would be a 5.
