Review: My name is Kimmie. I am a panic-stricken-get-lost-aphobe and I needed help. I don't have the slightest idea why, but since I passed driver's ed in high school, I have been geographically challenged. Part of it is that I am a *Landmark* person. I can ...

Pros: Intuitive, easy to use, very accurate, feature rich

Cons: Doesn't learn routes, cannot enter new addresses

The Bottom Line: Great unit for just about anybody. It gets me where I need to go and with little work on my part.

Review: OVERVIEW: I have been using the c340 for about one month and this is what I have found. SET UP: It arrived in a box and needed little set up. The only thing I had to do was turn it on once, allow it to find the four satellites for the first time, ...

Pros: Great advance notice of turns and easy programming

Cons: Cost of map updates, non-QWERTY keyboard, satelitte searches

The Bottom Line:

For those of us who take wrong turns driving home from work, ANY GPS is a good one!

Review: My issues with directions stem from two problems:  I am also a "landmark" person, where I can get from here to there if it's some place I've been before AND I can visualize buildings and things that are near where I need to go (after all, street ...

Pros: Works great, clear screen, voice and directions superb.

Cons: Doesn't cook me breakfast.

The Bottom Line: Get one. Buy one for a gift as well! I've given 4 of them as gifts! A total hit of a product!

Review: Garmin C340 GPS The first question is: Do I really need one of these? Well,if you do a lot of driving and tend to get lost from time to time, this item will help! If you just want a toy that will have an occasion real world use, this is still a ...

Pros: C340 Menu system very Intuitive, Speaks actual Street/ Road Name, Saves Time and Frustration.

Review: Garmin StreetPilot C340 GPS Receiver I decided to make the purchase of the Garmin StreetPilot C340 GPS Receiver after I was awarded the contract to photograph every establishment of this corporation’s properties within a 5-state region. This ...

Pros: Easy, inexpensive, light, touchscreen, streetname announcements, ready out of the box.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this unit as a low-priced, high-powered car GSP unit for everyone.

Pros: Ease of use, the maps, the directions.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: This product does exactly what it should and in an easy manner.

Review: I moved from Florida to North Carolina. Florida's road system is easy, up and down, left and right. East and West of 95, and that's it. NC apparently has no system. Roads change names at intersections, you can't see up coming road signs, the beltline ...

Pros: Very easy to learn, accurate maps and "Jill" is easy to understand.

Cons: Be sure to clean your windshield now and then or the C340 will fall off.

The Bottom Line: If you haven't taken the plunge with GPS navigation this is the one to start with. Also, save $600 on your new car by skipping their built-in. The C340's better.

Review: I purchased the Garmin C340 in April 2006. I travel Ohio and surrounding states making sales calls. I have always carried 80 to 100 regional and county maps and always used them. After about 2 or 3 days of getting used to the Garmin C340 I started using ...

Pros: Easy to use, accurate, plenty of lead time to turns.

Cons: No A/C charger or tri-pod mount in the box. Screen could be brighter/shaded.

The Bottom Line: Great unit for the directionally challenged. Definitely worth the money. Easy to use right out of the box.

Review: Have had the C340 now for about 10 days and took it on a big trip to Woodward Dream Cruise, then to Detroit Metro, then on to the Brickyard at Indy. Worked flawlessly. I knew some of the routes and it did very well in selecting routing and re-routing ...

Pros: The display is clear and it beeps when I need to make a turn.

Cons: It does not always give all directions for some places.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend it. It's easy to use and has a good visual screen.

Review: I love my new Garmin c340 street pilot. It was easy to install and when I had to get my car fixed, it was easy to put into another car. I bought this product because I wanted something easy to use and that would be able to talk back to me. This one ...
