It doesn’t get much easier than this. The Garmin StreetPilot c320 and c330 navigation systems offer clear friendly driving directions. As if the easy-to-follow text prompts weren’t enough, the c-series StreetPilots provide audible commands from two built-in speakers. The display is big and bright for at-a-glance guidance. Then choose 3-D perspective or overhead graphics to pinpoint where you are. Detailed maps are loaded onto removable cards for the c320 while the c330 comes pre-loaded with highly detailed MapSource® City Select® street data of the entire United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
For simple directions to any address or any place, look to the leader in navigation. The StreetPilot c320 and StreetPilot c330 make the getting there easy.
