"This unit does not recognize my home address!"
2.5 starson by familydavisPros: Garmin quality at a good price
Cons: Map database deficiencies
Summary: After reading all the reviews and user opinions, I went to the store to purchase the Garmin c330. When I was testing the store display, I was not able to program several locations, including my own home address. I contacted Garmin and they were able to resolve every issue (with updated maps)except finding my home address on their database. They admitted that it was not there. While the Garmin name may stand for quality, I have lost confidence in a company whose database cannot recognize the address of a house that has been standing for more than 50 years. Other manufacturers have databases that do. Check it out for yourself before you buy. If it gets you there but can't get you home, it is not very useful.

I just got this unit today and found out that my home address is not in it (that is understandable though because I have yet to find a map with my home address on it). However, once I was home I saved the location as a favorite, titled it "Home" and now it recognizes that as my home.

The Garmin C330 is a fantastic unit. My son lives in a new subdivision, which is not on MapSource City Select maps yet. After pulling into his driveway, I saved the location on the C330. The location was saved as point 001. Later when I got home, I edited the point 001 to my son's actual address and the rest is history.
