I bought this GPS a couple years ago on clearance at Walmart. I just downloaded the Inland Lakes maps for north central U.S. I downloaded it onto an SD card which works in this unit. I can switch between the road maps and the lake maps fairly easily. I haven't had a chance to use the lakes maps yet. Looks like it will work pretty good for basic GPS for lakes. Has anybody tried the Inland lakes maps by Garmin?

Re: Garmin c330 GPS w/ Inland Lakes Maps...

I have used the Mapsource Inland Lakes CD in my 276C for several years. My only complaint is that it does not cover every lake I wanted to fish. The ones it does cover, that I have used (LOTW, Possum Kingdom, and several others) are treated very well. I can find a particular rock bar in LOTW with no trouble, but you need to also have a SONAR in use, because the depths change from year to year and season to season.

Good to hear I didn't totally waste my money. The boat I ordered has a depth sounder which I will watch like a hawk. Thanks for the reply!

I don't know if I will be able to access all of the feature that you can with your 276C. The c330 is a very basic GPS that I paid 80 bucks for.

I'm thinking I will have very limited functioning with my unit.

I've got Garmin maps for all the possible lakes I could get to, loaded into a handheld Vista Hcx. With over 60,000 acres of connected lakes to boat on currently, I wouldn't go out without it. I'm getting a second copy for a permanent mount Garmin Nuvi.
