Recently used the NAV and base on a 4000-mile trip. Both worked flawlessly.

Same here..... GREAT GPS!!

Other than touch screen & bluetooth, you can also store & play music on it. It has FM modulation capabilities to play music through your stereo speakers & use the bluetooth/phone through the stereo speakers.

Agreed! And tack on a good amp and speakers. I went with Phoenix Gold 100.4 amp, Memphis Audio sub and Memphis 6.5s all around! Forgot about the iPod connector for the arm rest!

This past May my wife and I took a 2 week 3700 mile trip to Key West and back to new England. The c330 Garmin worked well. We used it for hotels (called ahead for rate info), food, fuel, and even a parts store to buy a can of Seafoam. My advice, choose one and "don't leave home without it".

I've had good luck with Garmin. I bought a C330. It was cheap, rediculously easy to use, and it works pretty well.
