The Garmin StreetPilot c330 is one of the best bangs for the buck you can buy.  I travel regularly for my day job and it never fails me.  It provides piece of mind, safety and it significantly reduces the time it takes to get anywhere, especially to locations you’ve never been to before.  It is absolutely perfect for triathletes going to races in new cities.  It’s enough work packing all your gear and planning out your schedule, now you don’t need to worry about directions or finding other hotels in the area if the host hotel is booked.  Garmin describes as follows:

Talk about simple. The StreetPilot c330 and its counterpart, c340 with optional traffic alerts, come preprogrammed with detailed street maps. Whether you choose these preloaded navigators or the c320 or c310 with SD card, their intuitive touch screen operation and big displays make them easy to use.

Navigate With Ease

StreetPilot c330 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator® NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the sunlight-readable color screen to enter a destination, and the c330 takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. In addition, the c330 accepts custom points of interest (POIs) such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs. Traveling abroad? The c330 comes with an SD card slot, making it convenient to add optional maps.

Take It With You

The portable c330 easily moves from vehicle to vehicle. Its suction cup windshield mount is a snap to install. The c330 also comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for out-of-car route planning.
