If your unit needs servicing, your best bet is to contact Garmin. It is not set up similarly enough to your PC for you to be able to repair it.

Your Garmin 330 came with the North American map installed on it. Canada is included.

Garmin has released new maps. Most of their units are entitled to a free update if the unit was purchased recently Just a heads up to anyone who recently purchased a C330. According to Garmin's tech support, the map udate 2008 is not free to those of us that recently purchased a C330. Only to those who purchased a C340 and up. Their excuse is that it is a "low end" unit, and also that the memory cannot hold the full US maps on the DVD. Gee, I can purchase the update for $69.99 and load a subset of the maps if I want, according to the person in tech support, but I cannot receive it as a free update. So, apparently buyer beware if you purchase Garmin's "low end" units. You will apparently not be able to receive a free update of maps, even if the unit you buy is already out of date.

To update the map is very simple, follow the steps below:

1. All you need to do is to go to garmin nuvis website,
2. Then you place the cursor on the maps link on the page, a list will pop out,
3. Then you select update maps,
4. Then you click on check for updates,
5. A page will come up prompting you to install plug ins,
6. Install the plug in,
7. It will bring up a list with the available maps. After installing the plug in.

That is how you update your maps.
But if you have the plug ins, it will automatically bring out the lists once you click on update maps. Try to download the "webupdater" for your nuvi on your computer so it will inform you once there is a new update.
Complements of the season to you over there.

Hello mjs91411,

The Garmin maps updates page appears to be down at the time this is being posted, but the page to get updates for your GPS is https://my.garmin.com/maps/updates.htm.

You can also sign into the My Garmin page at https://my.garmin.com.

Best regards,
Ken
Go Ahead. Use Us.

Unfortunately, they don't offer free map updates. You can purchase map updates for around $70, but they won't update them for free.

Also, the base model of the C330 does not have enough memory to store the entire 2008 Map Update. Unless you have more memory than it came with stock, you may have to choose which maps to include. For instance, in North America you have to choose between US and Canada - there's insufficient memory to hold both.

Hi have a nice day!

You can contact Garmin they should have a record of your system. It should also be available on the Garmin site once you log into your account. I have attached the Garmin link:
Thanks for using FixYa.

You would have to save each location in your favorites, then access them from the previous stop. Enter the location from the main screen. Press "Where to?" then "Address". Enter the state, city (or press "Search All") as usual. When done, press "Save". When all stops are saved and you want to access one, press "Where to?" then "Favorites". Press the saved address. When you want to go to the next address, do the same.

Waking up your c330...

If you left your Garmin c330 on running the battery will have 1% life left. If you turn c330 back on again, it will flash screen for 3 seconds then die, even charging it at this point will not wake it back up. TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE... plug in the power home or car into Garmin c330. There is a tab in the front Garmin gray frame of your screen. You must take like your fingernails and under the logo "GARMIN" pull the whole gray plastic frame off. Underneath the plastic frame to the right hand side. There is a "RESET" button. Make sure power is plugged in while hitting reset. Your battery should come back to life. Cheers

Remove the front silver colored plastic frame from the front. you can use your finger nail to pry it open (underneath the upper side). You will then see 4 screws which will open the front cover. the battery (round cylinger) is under the metalic bent plate (2 more shiny screws) between the speakers.

hope this helps.

good luck.

Did you load the USB drivers from the included CD?
