Pros: Clear, big, easy touch screen.
Cons: Not up to date with street names and locations.

What can I say about my Streetpilot C330 in-car GPS receiver?  I can say that I like it a lot.  I can say that it has its shortcomings.  I can say that it has been a lifesaver. For Christmas 2007, my dad gave me a ...

Pros: Easy to use, big bright screen, small
Cons: can fall off, some dated points of interest, can jump the gun

Pros: Loaded with maps for the entire US, easy to use, and very portable.
Cons: Has a tendency to freeze up at times; is harder to read in direct sunlight.

Cons: slow initial lock, hard to see in direct light, mount.

I am terrible with orientation. Sometimes I get lost in the mall, when I get into a store and then get out, I forget which side I was coming from and go back from where I just came. It’s way worse on the road, and maps are something very intimidating to ...

Pros: Price, features, simplicity, Garmin customer support
Cons: None yet

Cons: Sensitive volume control. Points of interest and newly constructed road are not as frequently updated.

Cons: Glare on screen, finger prints on screen, point of interest data not 100% accurate.

I'm writing a review here at the C330 location because I feel I can shed some light for you whether you end up buying the C330 or the C320. I actually own the Garmin Street Pilot C320 but please note these two units operate identically; they contain the ...

Cons: Doesn't tell you the street to turning on just the distance to the turn.

Pros: Accepts custom POIs, totally automatic, unbelievably simple to use.
Cons: Unable to change embedded data or POIs, outdated POIs.
