I bought the Garmin 330C last year. It's excellent! Phenomenally easy to
use. Most people can use it right out of the box without even referring
to the instruction manual. I wish my boat Garmin was as simple.

Having experienced the boat GPS, I dreaded getting the wife one. I just
knew I'd spend hours trying to teach her how to use it.

Surprise, surprise...she had it up and running in about 15 minutes. I was
at the local LLBean asking the guy there about them. He recommended the
Garmin 330c, but said he was out of them. He told me to go to West Marine
and get it, rather than try to sell me one of the other half-dozen he had
in his counter.

Damn near! Seriously though, she has gotten a lot of use out of it, just in
finding addresses around the D.C. area. There have been a couple times that
I didn't agree with it's choice of route, but that may be due to the GPS'
lack of an ability to adjust for rush hour traffic.

Try the detour function. It gets you around traffic rather neatly.
Or, change the settings to avoid certain types of roads. That might also
help you avoid rush hour traffic. Or, as a final measure, move out of D.C.

Personally, I'd go with option 3.

I plan to. I'm looking at Wake Forest, NC, as a possibility.
