CNET Editor's rating: 7.3 out of 10
Reviewed by John R. Delaney
Review date: 5/9/05

The good: Compact; touch screen; preloaded maps; rechargeable battery.

The bad: Screen washes out in daylight; can store only one route; no remote.

The bottom line: The Garmin StreetPilot c330 may lack some of the features found in its more expensive siblings, but it's accurate and easy to use.

Product brief - Garmin StreetPilot c330
Hide

Description: The Garmin Streetpilot C330 is a 12-channel, automotive global positioning device. Compared to other automotive GPS receivers on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $195.

Pros: Provides verbal navigation instructions. WAAS-ready GPS device accepts radio signals which can help increase accuracy of positioning data to within 3 meters. USB computer interface makes it possible to add new programs and maps as well as store previous trips and data. System includes MapSource city select North America NT.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: An automotive GPS receiver, suited for location monitoring and trip-tracking. Designed for use in land-based vehicles. Has an internal antenna which is desirable for activities where an external antenna would get in the way. This unit is somewhat heavy, weighing in at 10.4 oz.

Value: Given its very inexpensive price, this GPS receiver has great features for the money. Also note this unit is able to store up to 500 waypoints. This is in line with the average GPS device.

Suggestions: This GPS device has only internal memory. If you plan to store many trips or add base maps, you may wish to consider a unit that has removable storage media.
