Review: I bought my Garmin StreetPilot C330 sat nav system in May 2005 and have had excellent service from it. I do agree with the comments made by another reviewer that connection to satellites is sometimes very slow, which is particularly galling if you find yourself in heavy traffic in a foreign city and want a quick way out. I shall certainly consider purchasing an extension antenna. However, I think the plus points of this unit far outweigh the negative ones. I have used mine extensively in the UK, as well as in France, Germany and Switzerland, and, apart from one attempt to send me the wrong way up a one-way street in France, it has never put a foot wrong. I have to say that on one or two occasions, particularly in north eastern France, the lack of other traffic has made me wonder if I'm in a pedestrian zone, but no one challenged me so I'll never really know.
I was particularly impressed to receive from Garmin - completely unsolicited by me - a free update cd-rom a year after I bought the unit.
I know it's not the cheapest on the market but I'd buy another Garmin StreetPilot C330 sat nav system anytime. |
