UPDATE: Below is my review which a lot of people found useful. So, i want to write this udpate. Now, get the C340 & not the C330. the biggest difference is C340 spells street name out like turn left on main st, take 95S etc. It MAKES A BIG DIFF FOR ANOTHER $50 !!! AND GET THIS MOUNT, IT IS FANTASTIC: Garmin Dashboard Mount for StreetPilot c320, c330 and c340 =============================================================== I have used Navman ICN 630, Megallen RM 700 & finally this one.

Memory-wise, the C330 has a 2 GIG micro drive, which is quite adequate for all the US... more >>
