Google Maps link to the Freescale campus: http://tinyurl.com/ymts97
JPEG satellite photo of the campus: http://tinyurl.com/yeecnx

The photo has a marker showing the Building C entrance at the north side of the campus. If you turn off of Parmer at the main entrance, you'll need to skirt around the west side of the buildings to get to the C entrance. If you head east/northeast on Anderson Mill from Parmer, you'll find the "back entrance" that feeds directly to the Building C entrance.
