If WebUpdater says that you are up to date, then you are probably fine.

Are you looking for something in particular?

The Garmin product page for the 330 says that the latest firmware version is 5.7.

https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/downloadsUpdates.jsp?produ...

Are you running something else?

i went

to the info screen and it says SYS Version4.40 i think that is what you are talking about? itried again to download the new version and it says it is current

it also

says something about dowloading self extracting thing for the 330.not sure what that is.

.

The unit should display the SW version when you go to Settings > System > About. This is the firmware.

If it says 4.4, then go to the link in my previous post and download the 5.7 version and run that on your computer with your GPS unit connected via the USB cable.

Edit:

Here's the direct link.

https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/downloadsDetails.jsp?id=83...

i tried that

and it says there are no current updates for my unit ,but it does say on the download page to download the self extacting archive file for my gps,and then unzip through that and follow instructions from there

.

Download the self-extracting file. (Click on the last link I posted. And then click on Download.)

Connect your GPS unit to your computer.

Run the file you downloaded.

The firmware will be installed.

It is up to date

There were apparently two versions of the c330 made. One has an non-glare screen and the other doesn't. From what I read somewhere on the web the non-glare screens are like the c340 and the current version for them is 4.4.

I may be all wet, but that is the way mine is. Its been several months and I may not be remembering correctly...and I'm not at home with that unit where I can check.

My c330 and updates

I just got my first GPS a c330 and I know my map is out of date. I read Garmin will update the maps for free but you must call cus support. I did and was told sorry I must pay 69.00 for the updates. They only update maps free on the hi end ones. ho well luck of the Irish and all that.

What version

What version does your C330 have ??????

I haven't noticed a great deal of "improvement" between V8 Map and 2008NT . In fact. 2008NT has some errors in it around my area that weren't in V8.

Call customer support back. It all depends on who you talk with as to whether you get the update. I got it and a full copy of 2008 free of charge.
