Features
Product Overview: The Garmin StreetPilot
c330 is a compact, portable automotive navigation unit with a 12 parallel channel GPS
receiver. It continually tracks and uses up to 12 satellites to compute and
update your position every second. With the built-in basemap and pre-loaded map
software, the StreetPilot c330 can automatically calculate a route and provide turn-by-turn
directions and voice prompts.
Built-in Basemap:
The unit has a built-in Americas Lite Routable basemap of North America and South America containing
state and country boundaries, lakes, rivers, streams, airports, cities, towns,
and coastlines. It also contains airports, railroads, state and interstate highways, local
thoroughfares and secondary roads within metro areas, federal interstate highway
exit information for services such as food, lodging and truck, RV and automotive
service stations.
Pre-loaded Maps: The
StreetPilot c330 comes pre-programmed with City Select North America NT maps.
These maps contain detailed road maps throughout the entire United States,
Canada and Puerto Rico, and includes nearly 6,000,000 Points of Interest (POIs)
such as hotels, restaurants, gas stations, attractions, and ATMs.
Satellite Status: Once the GPS
receiver in the StreetPilot has collected the necessary data to calculate a fix,
the status field indicates a 2D or 3D status. A 2D status means that at least
three satellites with good geometry have been locked onto, and a two-dimensional
position fix (latitude and longitude) is calculated. A 3D status means that at
least four satellites with good geometry have been locked onto, and your
position is calculated in latitude, longitude, and elevation.
GPS Accuracy: This unit's GPS
positioning capability is accurate to less than 15 meters (49 feet). When WAAS
(Wide Area Augmentation System) is enabled, accuracy is less than 3 meters (9.75
feet).
Touchscreen Display: The unit
features a bright, 3.5" (diagonal), 16-bit LCD with touch screen. The display has a resolution of
320 x 240 pixels,
with an aspect ratio of 4:3 and 64,000 colors. The screen has a manual
brightness adjustment. The screen-width scale is 640 feet to 4,000 miles.
Custom Points of Interest: The
StreetPilot c330 will accept custom points of interest (POI) databases,
available from various companies on the Internet. Some custom POI databases
contain alert information for points such as safety cameras and school zones,
and the unit can notify you as you approach one of these points. To download
custom POIs, you will need the Garmin POI Loader software, available on Garmin's
website.
Information Pages: The
information provided by the StreetPilot c330 is found on various display screens called
pages. Each page gives you the following
information:
- Map:
- Indicates real-time moving map
illustrating your current position and intended route
- Shows map scale and geographic
details such as lakes, rivers, highways and towns
- Allows you to zoom, pan and
point using the touchscreen controls
- When no destination entered,
customized data tabs provide navigation detail, including moving
direction, speed, time of
day, and approaching streets
- When destination entered,
customized data tabs provide driving instructions, distance and time to next turn, distance
and ETA to final destination
- Trip Computer:
- Shows current
compass heading while moving
- Indicates current speed,
average driving speed, overall average speed, maximum speed
- Calculates driving time, stopped
time and total time
- Turn List:
- Displays a list of turn-by-turn
instructions for your entire route as well as arrival information
- Shows direction of each turn,
distance and time to each turn, plus exit/route numbers and street/highway
names
- Touch text bar of the turn to see
map detail of the turn
Where To? During navigation,
you can search for places by pressing "Menu", then "Where To?". You can select
an Address, Food, Lodging, My Locations (including recent finds), Fuel,
Intersections, Attractions, Shopping, Parking, Entertainment, Recreation,
Community, Cities, Hospitals, Transit or Auto Services. You can also access
Spell Name for direct entry of your new destination, or browse the map. You can
search for locations near your present location (default), or select a different
city, your current route, or your destination.
Avoid: You can program the unit
to avoid certain things that may be undesirable on your route. Examples of
things that can be avoided include U-Turns, Toll Roads, Unpaved Roads, and Major
Highways.
Waypoints: You can manually
mark and name any map position as a "waypoint" for later recall. The
StreetPilot c330 can hold up to 500 waypoints with names and graphic symbols.
Map Orientation: You can
select one of three map orientation displays:
- 2D Track Up:
Two-dimensional map which constantly displays the route from top to bottom
on the screen.
- 3D Track Up:
Three-dimensional map which constantly displays the route from top to bottom
on the screen.
- 2D North Up:
Two-dimensional map which constantly displays North at the top of the
screen.
Screen Color Mode: You can
select one of three color modes for the display screen:
- Daytime: has a lighter,
brighter background
- Nighttime: has a black
background, easier to see at night
- Auto: display
automatically switches between daytime and nighttime at sunrise and sunset
Indoor Use: When indoors,
you can activate the built-in simulator and practice using the unit. This
turns off the GPS receiver so it's not searching for satellites.
Power Requirements: The StreetPilot
c330
operates on your vehicle's battery
using the included 12-volt cigarette lighter power adapter, the built-in
Lithium-Ion batteries, or an optional AC adapter (available directly from Garmin). The Lithium-Ion batteries provide up to
approximately 8 hours of use. Stored data, such as waypoints or unit settings, are not lost when
the unit is disconnected from a power source.
Antenna: The built-in patch antenna
is located in the unit's top panel. An optional external antenna may be needed
when operating the unit with a coated windshield or an in-screen heating system
which can block the GPS signal. The unit has an external GPS antenna jack with
an MCX-type connector.
Mounting Options: The unit
should be securely installed when used in a vehicle. The unit features an
integrated mounting bracket which includes a suction cup. The suction cup can be
used to mount the unit to the windshield or to the dash (using the Dash Mounting
Disk). Once the StreetPilot c330 is mounted, it can be tilted forward or backward and
rotated for best visibility. Note: If you're not using a
remote antenna, the unit must be installed where it has a relatively
unobstructed view of the sky.
Interface Capability: This unit
can be connected to a PC via the supplied USB cable. This interface allows
you to download additional map information to the unit's flash memory. The
supplied CD-ROM USB driver must first be installed on your PC before connecting
the unit via the USB cable. Note: The unit's USB port is USB 2.0 Full
Speed compatible.
