Great Pilot

2008-09-05
I bought this Garmin before a 750 mile trip to the Colorado mountains. I plugged it in, put in the destination address and it delivered me to the front door of the cabin about 12 hours later. It is easy to use right out of the box and has many great features. It never lost a signal even on narrow mountain roads or during thunderstorms. It is most handy when navigating unfamiliar roads in urban areas or some county road in the middle of nowhere. If you miss a turn no need to worry, it will recalculate a new route quickly.

Garmin StreetPilot c340 the best.

I love my Garmin StreetPilot, has worked like a charm once you understand how to set it up and use. Anytime I've had to go somewhere I've never been to before, it gets me there, no problems.

Great product, nice price

Waited until the price dropped to pick up this garmin GPS. Easy to use and came with updated 2008 maps. Friction mount does not stay put on my Tahoe dash but makes it for easy storage with a suction cup ring or dash mount.

I love this product. I like the fact that it tells you the name of the road you are turning on. It is easy to use, very self explanitory.

Frustrating to set up with Mac

Garmin c340

This is my 3rd GPS.

I owned a Garmin c230, Tom Tom one, Navigon 2100. Each has found a home with other members of the family, not by my choice just Dad is apparently a soft touch. I research purchases to no end for fun and to determine value.

The C340 is an older style and while the form factor is a bit bulky by todays standards, the performance and price is great.

It acquires a signal fast, it's display and volume super, the software is among the best as is the Points of Interest data base.

The Maps are as good as any GPS and there is no way any GPS system can be 100% current.

I decided to use the same approach as I do with laptops, no sense to strive for the newest when you can get great performance from a legacy model.

This unit sold for almost 3 times the price 2 years ago and is still a solid performer.

All GPS devices are a useful tool, the software and POI's on the Garmin is something I have found to be of high value.

great product

Will get you anywhere you want to go with ease!! Great product, would highly recommend..

Waste of money

2008-08-04
I purchased this Garmin for my spouse. Once the GPS was installed into her car, we discovered the street we live on was not in the "maps" in the device. She contacted Garmin for updated maps and was informed she would need to purchase them for around $75. After discussing the issue of having an up to date product for customers to buy, we decided to return it to the retailer.

Amazingly Great Value

We started using it the moment it arrived. It's easy to set-up, easy to use. The suction device that holds it to the windshield works really well. It's suggested routes to locations in nearby cities are better than the more common routes I have used in the past. I've been using it in rural northern Michigan and it knows every road up here! The fear of getting lost is gone. I never have to ask directions again, just get an address and you're done!
