What level of detail is there with the pre-loaded C-Map data? Does it show depths and channel markers in ICWs?

Not sure about the ICW's but these items are shown for the whole Chesapeake Bay. It has a very bright display and is very easy to see in direct sunlight. Love my unit!!

John, Hello. We are cruising on the west coast of Mexico so I don't look at the ICW very often but just took a look and I would say that the detail is good. There are a few isolated stretches on the ICW where there are no depths shown but the channel markers are there plus there is a course line shown up the middle of the channel. That only happens in a few places. For the most part, the charts, depths, and channel markers are all shown and the detail is good. If you have a particular area of the ICW you would like me to check, let me know.Jake

We don't know anything about ICWs as we only cruise in the Southern Caribbean islands. Mike Hatch

Yes....very good details. We just moved to Florida last fall..and not being familiar with these waters have relied extensively on the unit along with a hard copy map and both are in lockstep with each other!

For a small screen the detail it excellent. I show the depths and all channel markers. I have used mine going from Green Bay through northern lake Michigan to Mackinaw then on to De Tour up the St. Maries river to Sault St. Marie through the locks to Lake Superior and on to Munising Mi. A grate deal of the passage was done at night using the CP190i I had no problems navigating. Though that was my first passage going from Lake Michigan to Lake Superior I felt comfortable with the navigation.

It does out to about 3 miles off shore. All in all neer shore and the river channel graphics are first class. I needed better bottom contour and depth out off shore 7 to 12 miles. The chip did that for me. When hooked up to my standard horizon radio the DSC function became available to me.

Mine didn't, but if you go to the file in explorer and look at the file properties it will show you the ccoordinates.

For 2 years I have been using a 60CSx for geocaching using just the base maps that came with the unit. My biggest complaint is that there are too few details on the original base maps. Only major roads are shown and there is no indication of topography. Using the original base maps I usually must map out the way to a cache online before I head out. This has been working for me so far, but I have finally decided to upgrade to topo maps to make navigation to a cache easier as well as having road information when traveling. Overall, they're not necessary, but they sure are nice to have!

I just installed the small SanDisk chip (half inch by half inch) with the gold contacts down; under the batteries (my chip fits loosely, make sure yours is making contact). When you start to zoom in on a lake the contour lines just start to appear.

The C340 has "full" spoken directions as well. It will read the street names and exit numbers to you. The C330 only tells you to "turn left" and so on, although it does display the names/exits at the top.

Hi there, No, this does not provide a visual image of the target identified. This model can show the Ferrous (Iron) and Conductivity readings along with GPS coordinates. Also, when the user selects the "pinpoint" mode it has extremely accurate tones that signal the user of how longer the target is and sometimes its shape. Hope this helps! Valery BuyHappier

It has a fish finder and a very basic, general gps map. I would recommend buying an area specific e-card. This model does not have downscan imaging, but it does have a depth finder. As for this unit overall, I am very satisfied and do recommend it.

None that I'm aware of. The map update data (map set with new/changed data) overwrites the existing maps.

It does not include marine charts. I purchased them seperately to see approximate depths. It does include inland waterway markers with their ID's.

According to some old postings on another site, earlier production of the c330 did not include the card slot. The c330 was designed with an internal hard drive that could hold all of the North America map data. Later production of the c330 did include the card slot. My c330 has it, which is good since the 2010 map update doesn't even fit just Lower 48 US in the built-in memory.

You shouldn't have to be in HD mode. But all the lakes that are in HD do have better map views in 3D because of enhanced views. If you have any questions about your unit being compatable then you can contact navionics with your depthfinder model to be certain the new Navionics chip will work with that particular unit that you own.

Here you go!https://docs.sony.com/release/ICFSW07.PDFThank you for your interest;)

I found that the 3rd party maps ordered at a greatly discounted price does not allow for updates of maps. I guess if it came with the maps preloaded you would get the lifetime updates (LM). I currently have the European maps and get the updates. Did you purchase the unit with LM designated behind model number?

I have the unit which I use for kayaking. The world map that comes with it is laughable. You will need to buy a chart for that area. It is a well made unit which I am pleased with however.

We only used it on one trip, and it does show depth, time and NDL at once. I'm not sure about temp, because we were in warm water, I don't remember lookingThis computer at standard setting was much more liberal with NDL than a Suunto Zoop ( which is really conservative ) and my older Uwatec prime ( which I consider moderate ). So I would advise not pushing the limits on this one.

I've been using the Mio c310x for over 10 months now. My first and only GPS unit to date, so I can't comment much on teh Garmin c320. -the Mio has 3.5mil POIs. Didn't know much back then, but that is kind of a low amt, but it's still something to work with -Navteq used to overall superior, but ever since Mio finally came out with the map update for the c310x back around 9/2007, I thought i read somewhere here saying now says that Navteq no longer enjoys it's supremecy, but can't find the direct quote http://www.gpslodge.com/archives/008669.php -mp3 player isn't very good. Still better than nothing, but not very good at all. No way to fast forward/rewind within tracks. Surprising since it's touted to be an ebook reader. Hate to have to start a 30min track all over again to get to where u left off. Playlists are hard to work with. I just gave up on them, leaving them in order they were added to the device. I've used and made playlists in winamp 2.81, Windows Media Player 9, and 4th gen ipod with ease, but half the time, I'd rather use my PDA as an mp3 player if it were b/w these 2 for music -contrary to what's around, the c310x does NOT come with Canadian maps, preinstalled or otherwise -US maps are preloaded my next GPS device will have many more POIs, and text2speech, but my c310x gets me to where i wanna go, even in unkonwn territory

Yes it does, but it's limited and basic for the waterways.. Buy the extra C-map navigation program by jeppesen for your area. It is very detailed and will complete this unit... The program can be updated regularly for the everchanging navigation routes
