APPENDIX
What is GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation
system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the
U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military
applications, but the government made the system available for civilian
use in the 1980s. GPS works in any weather condition, anywhere in the
world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to
use GPS.
A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three GPS
satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and track
movement. With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can
determine your 3D position (latitude, longitude, and altitude). Once your
position has been determined, the receiver can display it on the c330’s
Map page and calculate other information, such as speed and bearing.
What is WAAS?
The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is an FAA-funded project
to improve the overall integrity of the GPS signal and increase position
accuracy for users in North America. The system is made up of satellites
24 c330 Owner’s Manual
and approximately 25 ground reference stations positioned across the
United States that monitor GPS satellite data. Two master stations,
located on either coast, collect data from the reference stations and create
a GPS data correction message.
According to the FAA’s Web site, testing in September 2002 of WAAS
confirmed an accuracy performance of 1–2 meters horizontal and 2–3
meters vertical throughout the majority of the continental United States
and portions of Alaska. For more information, go to
.gov/Programs/WAAS/waas.ht
WAAS is just one service provider that adheres to the MOPS
(Minimum Operational Performance Standard) for global Satellite
Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS). Eventually, there will be several
services of worldwide geostationary communication satellites and ground
reference stations.
Currently, enabling WAAS on your c330 in regions that are not supported
can degrade the accuracy. For this reason, when you enable WAAS on
your c330, the receiver automatically uses the method that achieves the
best accuracy. To enable WAAS, refer to

APPENDIX
Cleaning the Unit
The c330 is constructed of high quality materials and does not
require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the unit’s
outer casing (except for the touchscreen) using a cloth dampened
with a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical
cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.
Cleaning the Touchscreen
The touchscreen is intended primarily for finger operation.
Although a PDA stylus may also be used to operate touchscreen,
never attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a hard
or sharp object to operate the touchscreen or damage may result.
The touchscreen should be cleaned using a soft, clean, lint-free
cloth. Water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner can be used
if needed. If these are used, apply the liquid to the cloth and then
gently wipe the touchscreen with the moistened cloth.
c330 Owner’s Manual 25
Storing your c330
Do not store the c330 where prolonged exposure to temperature
extremes may occur (such as in the trunk of a car), as permanent
damage may result.
Caring for the Unit
Your c330 contains sensitive electronic components that may be
permanently damaged if exposed to excessive shock or vibration.
To minimize the risk of damage to your c330, avoid dropping
your unit and operating in high shock/vibration environments.
Your c330 is not Waterproof
Do not position the c330 in places where it may be exposed to
water. Contact with water can cause this unit to malfunction.
APPENDIX
Using the c330 Responsibly

driver safety. Safe Mode disables certain functions that may
become a distraction to use while driving. By default, this feature

Using the c330 in Practice Mode
To reset the c330:
1. Remove the face plate. Place your thumb nail in the groove
located on the face plate (located under the Garmin logo) and
gently pull off the face plate.
You can set your c330 to indoor use which stops satellite
reception. Use this operation when you are practicing basic
functions and features with the unit. To turn off satellite reception,
set the unit to GPS Off. See page 20 for more information.

APPENDIX
Problems Maintaining a GPS Fix
An optional external remote antenna (Garmin GA 27C) may
be needed when operating the unit in a vehicle with a coated
windshield or an in-screen heating system which can block the
GPS signals. Connect the antenna to the connector located on the
back of the c330. To purchase, go the Garmin Web site at
http://www.garmin.com/products/sp330 and select the
“Accessories” link.
Battery Temperature Warning, Disposal
Your unit contains an internal lithium-ion battery, which allows
you to store more energy than standard batteries. All batteries
slowly lose the amount of energy they can hold over time. To
maximize battery life, limit your c330’s prolonged exposure
to excessive heat and direct sunlight. Contact your local waste
disposal department for information on properly disposing of the
lithium-ion battery.
c330 Owner’s Manual 27
Updating Map Software
Garmin periodically updates its maps so that you can enjoy the
most accurate route information. If you registered your unit, you
will receive notification of map updates. Otherwise, check the
Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/unlock/update.jsp to
see if an update for your map software is available.
See page 19, Customizing the Map Page, for instructions on how
to find your current MapSource software and version number.
Calibrating the Touchscreen
