if u want a mint condition GPS Garmin 330, i wouldn't mind getting rid of this.

if not get the newest Garmin Nuvi 755T
The Garmin 330 is very outdated now, quite a few of us purchased them years ago (I have had mine a good 5 years) I was very pleased with the performance over those years as were many others. They are just outdated.

I've had mine for 5 years too and it still rarely steers me in the wrong direction. Besides, if you live in Southern Ontario (Toronto) you should know that you take the 401 to Windsor/Detroit not the 402. It's only one road to remember so why use a GPS. lol
Yesterday I watched an older episode of The Office...The one where Michael drives his rental into Lake Scranton because he turned right exactly where the GPS told him too.

Then what is the point of having a GPS if it tells you the longest route, aren't they suppose to give you the fastest coordinates to get to your destination

Besides, i don't travel much...other than going to Buffalo and Jersey N.Y.

Mine was unbelieveable. It was always dead on except when I did not update it. When was your 330 updated?

I like it. The sound quality is better than anything new I have listened to as well. The instructions didn't steer me wrong very often - no more than any other unit.

It just doesn't have some of the newer features.

I believe mine is verifying the maps it has loaded. It was in Windsor when I ordered it, went to Chicago and another US city before it came back to Detroit. It should be here once it takes a tour of Europe. Hope it takes pics.

Sam, I'm sure yours will get home soon. T.D. is very reliable.

good stuff Sam.
The bluetooth on this thing is great!
It paired very easily & it also uploads all the phone contacts automatically.

^LOL. I still haven't figured out to put contacts in my car and set the voice thingy.

I managed to pair my phone to accept incoming calls but that's it. One of these days I'll phone my 13 year old nephew to figure it out for me.
