The StreetPilot "c-series" GPS navigators feature a simple touchscreen interface, with automatic route calculation to any destination and turn-
by-turn voice-prompted directions along the way. Selecting a destination is straightforward and requires only a limited amount of input from the user. Plus, the StreetPilot c330 allows you to choose between a three-dimensional navigation view or the more traditional “bird’s eye” overhead view. For the ultimate out-of-the-box convenience, the StreetPilot c330 comes preprogrammed with highly detailed City Navigator® street data. The database features nearly six million points of interest including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions.

Review
We had an opportunity to use one of these for a bit of time. We found using this thing to be relatively easy and intuitive. The screen is large enough to see from a small distance and bright enough to see even on a sunny day. Inputting destinations was easy but the virtual keyboard was arranged alphabetically, not in a keyboard style. The voice was pleasing and easy to understand. One annoyance we found is if you get off track, perhaps intentionally, the GPS continued to try to get you back to the pre-determined route. The mount was easy to deal with and configure for varying locations. Battery life was acceptable.
