If you are a beginner to GPS devices or simply horrible with technology, then a good GPS unit for you will be the Garmin StreetPilot c320. Garmin calls this a Beginner's GPS and this is an accurate statement. As far as GPS devices go, this is remarkably easy to use with it being so simple to input your desired destination and other information, and the lack of the more complicated features of other models.



Although, if you want your GPS to be more hardcore, then this is not your GPS model. Don't expect anything extreme from these units. The StreetPilot markets an easy to control, able car navigator with the necessary features of other car direction-finding units but without the hassle that a lot of users expect from other models. You can definitely operate as soon as you get it, with only a small amount of time learning to use the model.

The Garmin StreetPilot is a GPS unit for your car and has some of the very best routing directions available on any GPS device. It has a built in speaker, uses Nagteq road map and allows you to use CSV files produced by 3rd parties to input into the maps where speed cameras, traffic hazards and school zones are located.

It is readable in sunlight but is with a little less contrast than other devices. It has a built in rechargeable battery pack that is recharged via the built in mini-USB holder. Its battery life is around 8 hours.

Like most Garmin GPS units, the StreetPilot utilizes a touch screen to enable users to enter information like their chosen destination or route into the system. Besides the touchscreen, the unit has two other controls which keeps it in line with the theme of being simple and easy to use. The two other controls are an ON button and a sliding volume control which can be used using your fingertip.

Users utilize the USB interface to load maps and to upload or download any required data from the device. However, if you remove the SD card and use a memory card writer, the maps should load much faster. Map loading times may not be an issue for non-technological GPS users.

Like all contemporary car navigators, this GPS device free itself of almost ALL of the bad effects of GPS measurement inaccuracy that bother a lot of users. When CitySelect is used, the Street Pilot will "lock" your vehicle track to roads as long as you travel on the road. Another useful feature with CS/CN maps is that all approaching cross street names are displayed prior to arrival.

A Garmin StreetPilot is an easy to use and cheap GPS unit that any one who is a beginner with GPS or technology could use with ease.
