Title of review First GPS C330
What are the strengths? This is my first GPS so my experience is limited. But best thing is that it's so easy to use and install. The screen and voice is clear and really nice to listen to.
What are the weaknesses? It's a little big and takes up alot of space.
Summary I'm very happy with my StreetPilot C330. It works for me so I can only recommend it.

Title of review Garmin Streetpilot C330 Review
What are the strengths? I travel a lot for business and this is the best Garmin GPS I have seen yet. I liked the Streetpilot C330 (010-00401-10) because it was small, was easy to pack, and saved me from renting a high end car with GPS. The window suction cup mount makes it easy to place near my dash and I could angle it to avoid glare.
What are the weaknesses? I wish the Garmin C330 GPS voiced out the street or had voice command, but I now see that coming in future GPS receivers from Garmin.
Summary The Garmin Streetpilot C330 GPS has the usual bells and whistles and is a nice step forward for gps systems, but I am looking forward to future versions that have traffic incorporated into them.

Title of review Great starter GPS
What are the strengths? The Garmin Streetpilot C330 is a great product that offers everything you would want in an auto GPS device: turn by turn directions, maps of entire US, 6 million points of interest including restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and hotels, light and portable, battery power, and easy to use series of menus to enter in your destination.
What are the weaknesses? The screen brightness on this model can sometimes be an issue on the Garmin Streetpilot C330 during the day and this has improved on newer models like the Garmin Streetpilot C340 and Garmin Streetpilot C550.
Summary For the money, the Garmin Streetpilot C330 is a great GPS. There are now some better models out there that include traffic conditions, MP3 players, and XM radio such as the Garmin Streetpilot 2730 or the upcoming Garmin Streetpilot C550. But you cannot go wrong with this unit - I recently took it on a trip and it saved me time and helped me find good local restaurants.
