Does it let you see your route on an actual satelite map? Does it find the satalite quickly?

It does lock to satellite quickly if you're outdoors with clear sights. Takes a bit longer in city centers with high rise buildings. Once you've uploaded your data to garmin website it shows your route on a map and it's incredibly accurate.

No, it does not work with an actual satellite map but you can mark as many way point as you want to have your route mark.It finds the satellite in an average of 60/90 seconds.

It does Geocaching and I believe you enter Long and Lat to find the sites, but I have never Geocached.I hope this helps

Yes it does. I have measured a certain distance by car then ran the same route and the Garmin 10 is correct. I love mine for a few different reasons. I am so glad my friend shared information about hers. Well spent money.

Yes it will , it takes time to locate the sattelite at first but then it's all easier to locate again in case u lose signal ... If u want something more professional for hiking and stuff , go for a more expensive one, and I preffer Garmin ;) i have this watch but Garmin are much better for GPS usage

Hello Daina,I don't know if there is an option in the setting that would permit this...It only loads the best rout that it calculates to be the best option. If you connect it with the traffic sensor, and depending on the traffic in your planed rout, it may give a new option (route), and let you know how much time you could save... You will however, have to accept the suggestion before your GPS could implement it (the new route )...Have a great day,Kevin

It does yes, altitude, direction, and velocity. But they are only about as accurate as the coordinates themselves (within 3-5 meters),

I've only had mine for two days but I was blown away by just how fast it found satelites.....I replaced a 4.3 inch Garmin and it was fairly quick also.....the 5 inch in my Camry is very quick.I live in Southern Oregon, down in the Rogue River Valley, surrounded by mountains but the Valley is quite large. If I go out into the 'woods' and get behind a mountain then chances are I will lose the connection.

Nothing that I know of. I use it to find gas wells that the company I work for services. Our company trucks have full navi systems that don't allow entry of lat/long coordinates, so this is a life saver! I use OpenStreetMap for the turn by turn. This is a free resource and you can update it anytime there is a change. I also took all of the gas wells we have marked on Google Earth and placed them in the waypoint manager so I just select the well site by name. I would recommend that you get the car suction cup mount and a friction mount to stick it to. I use this setup and place it on the dash for viewing ease. I use mine as both a driving GPS for work, a riding GPS for dual sport and trail riding with my son, and handheld for hiking.

A satellite finder helps sometimes, but is not necessary. The elevation read out is very accurate and I use my GPS to tell me my direction (not a compass).

I don't see why some make a big fuss about the C330 nat having the capability of speaking the name of the street you need to turn onto. The fact that the C330 does display the street name at the top of the screen is adequate in most cases. The route indicator on the map itself has a large red arrow that is continually showing your route and exactly where to turn. With an accuracy of something like 50 feet, I don't see where it is such a necessity to have to have the thing tell you the street name when it's time to make a turn.

No, just get it interfaced to your laptop, start your software (Streets & Trips and DeLorme Topo North America both work for me) and it will find you. Even inside the house it found my location. This is much better than the GPS functionality in your cell phone. Well worth the price.

No. The garmin functions by way of satellite sending signals to you. Once you turn it on, it knows your location and sends you info. We have had our for years and it works great! Hope you enjoy your visit!

No, it gives you the compass bearing and distance from your selected base and waypoints. It does that quite well.

I think it will. It's a simple unit that just shows a black line on a gray background and does not show terrain features etc. As long as it will link to satellites it should work just as a get you back to a start point device. I don't know if it will show your route etc on a map when you download your hike to the Bushnell web site map.

Yes and no. Yes, just put batteries in it and you can track your path on the trail, right out of the box. If you are expecting trails to be already marked on the built-in map, no. For that, you'll need to download or purchase additional maps.

I just used the GPS on a long road trip. It was very fast and seemed to stay up with quick turns and tunnels and overpasses. It did not keep track of starting mileage and other information which allowed you to calculate gas mileage, parked time, etc. It only reports time to destination in hour and minutes, and the mileage remaining.
