Garmin StreetPilot c330 Review

by Tracey Capen

- The $460 Garmin StreetPilot c330 excels at the basics. Its 3.5-inch color touch screen is big enough for quick and easy reading, but the unit isn't so large that it takes over your dashboard; I wouldn't think twice about stowing it in a suitcase or overnight bag for use during a cross-country trip. Its built-in maps cover the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, and (like the maps of other units I reviewed for our recent GPS roundup) they are said by the vendor to include several million points of interest.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Was a wonderful beginner unit....3 years ago

Weaknesses: None it was cutting edge.....3 years ago

Overall Evaluation: You can go to any Garmin dealer, like West Marine, and pick up an updated, sleek, Garmin Nuvi 200W for $ 119.00. Units are discontinued every year by Garmin b/c electronics technology changes daily. I have never seen any piece of electronics that didn't have some weakness, but Garmin sure makes it hard to find unlike Magellan, Lowrance and TomTom. For those of you who think TomTom rule the car nav world, you bought into a great marketing jingle.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: The design is decent and is probably carried through on Garmin's devices that are not discontinued.

Weaknesses: If you buy from PCRush (and possibly this is true for other vendors), the maps will be outdated.

Overall Evaluation: You can update your maps by buying the new ones for $70.00. However, the new maps do not fit on this device. You will have to copy one segment of the maps at a time, which would be pretty inconvenient.
