My 330 garmin streetpolit

have a load test done on the battery as there is probably a dead cell. A bad battery will cause all the problems you describe.

In order to use the C330 in foreign countries, you need to purchase the maps for those countries and insert the SD card into your unit. You will then have to select the proper maps to use on the unit. These maps are available for purchase at www.garmin.com.

As far as getting around closed roads, your unit will automatically recalculate your route if you are unable to take the suggested route. You can purchase updated maps, but I do not believe this will help you will roads closed for repair.

It could be a problem with the software that runs the GPS. Plug your 330 into your PC, go to this link and run the webupdater:

WEBUPDATER

After you update the software, hit the reset button again.

If this doesn't solve your problem, there is an internal hardware failure that can only be repaired at Garmin. You can buy a factory rebuilt model for about the same price as it would cost to repair yours.

Purchase an external magnetic antenna for the 330. You can purchase from Best Buy or on line from Garmin.

From a PC, load USB drivers, connect Garmin, run webupdater, follow on screen prompts.

The instruction manual is available to download from Garmin's website, www.garmin.com. Click on the StreetPilot C330, then go to updates and downloads. http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/StreetPilotc330_OwnersManual.pdf

It is unclear what you are trying to load from the Garmin site to your unit. If you are trying to update the software in your unit, it must be the EXACT model otherwise it will not work, and could render your unit useless.

If you are trying to update your maps on your unit, you will need to contact Garmin to purchase an update code.

My 350 did the same thing, but I re-started it by using the re-set button on the back of the unit. I'm guessing your 330 has a similar re-set button.
