Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
I would definitely recommend this product if you can obtain it for a good price (sub $200). Its customization features put it a few notches above the TomTom One
I got this for sale at Radio Shack on Black Friday. Overall, I'm very pleased with this unit. It's very customizable right out of the box (windows recognizes it as an external drive when you plug it in), so you can easily change skins, maps, voices, etc. Furthermore, while this unit does not have Text to Speech (TTS) out of the box, it is easily altered to include this (see http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=101284). I know that some people might enjoy this feature, and might be turned off because the C320 didn't include it, so I'm sure they'll be glad to know that it can be included later.
The screen is very clear (it shares none of the problems its predecessor the C220 had in terms of visibility). The mp3 player option is nice - also, since the unit is so customizable, it is possible to add a video player if you wish. Of course, all these changes are easily undoable (just save your original files and replace), and they require no firmware changes.
The only negatives about this unit are the routing (it's iffy sometimes, requiring me to make sharp turns or u-turns if I miss my main route). Also the POI database is very small (1.5 million POI), but more can be easily added with the software that comes with it. You can also download free POI lists that users contribute.
Overall, the ability to customize and the wide screen made me want to get this over the TomTom One. With just as many features as the more expensive Garmin units, I decided to give this a go and I'm very happy I did.
