 Enter a new destination ("where to"), or view a map of your current location or that of your destination ("view map"). |
My intuition says...
After you turn on the c330, the first screen you come to presents you with just four simple options. The first is "Where to?" That one's easy enough to figure out. Click on it, and you're given 6 "Where to" choices:
 Cute, clear icons help clicking through the menu options easy and fun. |
- "Address" — for when you know exactly where you're going
- "Food" — a travel essential
- "Lodging" — since you're obviously away from home
- "Fuel" — and obviously in a car
- "My Locations" — for personally stored places
- "Spell Name" — for everything else
You can scroll down for more specialized "Where to" options, such as "Entertainment," "Hospitals," and "Auto Services." The c330 comes loaded with over five million of these points of interest (POI) by the way, so you'll always be able to find something nearby.
 Once you've entered your destination, press "Go!" and your route is automatically generated from your current location. |
So, you program an address into the system. Then what? You're given three, very clear options. You can save it, view a map of it and its surroundings, or hit "Go" for immediate guidance from wherever you are. Hitting "Save" will store the address in "My Locations" — the best method for finding your way to frequented locations. This feature came in very handy once I was on the road. If you forget to save, which I often did, you can still find the address in "Recent Selections" under the "My Locations" tab.
The armchair tourist
Another great thing about storing addresses is that you can set a certain address as the "set location." That means that wherever you decide to go next, the c330 will calculate the route from that set location. So, after setting my hotel as the set location, I previewed the route from my hotel to the church, while sitting in my living room 500 miles away. I found my way from the church to the reception and from the reception back to the hotel. I had witnessed my whole weekend driving adventure before I ever left the couch. Whether the c330 was accurate, though, was still left to be determined.
