My wife has the c330 in her Highlander. She loves it. The latest consumer
reports lists both as best buys.

Tom Tom One:

Highs
Very compact and portable. Includes an internal battery, and a lockout
safety mode. Traffic and weather capable with compatible Bluetooth phone.
Very customizable. Includes a large range of voice languages.

Lows
Bluetooth Traffic requires specific phones limited mostly to T-Mobile and
Cingular. Fewer announcements of upcoming turns than most. Initial setup of
traffic services can be frustrating. (TomTom will be offering FM traffic in
the near future.) Does not speak street names.

Bottom Line
TomTom One is a good option in the $300 dollar range. The TomTom One is not
loaded with features, but it combines good performance and portability.

Garmin c330:

Highs
Includes a long-lasting internal battery, lockout safety mode, and a trip
computer.

Lows
No extra features. Can't exclude a specific road from directions list. Does
not speak street names.

Bottom Line
The Garmin StreetPilot c330 is an easy to-use navigator, with no bells and
whistles. It is a solid choice for the consumer who just wants a travel aid
at a good price.

Hope that helps. The info above came, I think, from the Oct '07 issue.
