Pros: Live talking mapquest co-pilot
Cons: none
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Great advance notice of turns and easy programming
Cons: Cost of map updates, non-QWERTY keyboard, satelitte searches
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: voice tells us when to turn, nice sharp color, touchscreen, internal rechargeable battery
Cons: outdated maps & stores
Summary: I bought my husband the Garmin Street Pilot c340 for his birthday. We have fun testing it out all the time. We take frequent trips and this has came in handy, especially when we want to find a favorite restaurant when we are in a different city. He ... read more

Pros: Affordable text-to-speech; easy-to-use intuitive menus; set it up, plug it in, and go.
Cons: Manual doesn't provide clear guidance on battery charging; a/c charging adapter is not included.
Summary: I didn't have a pressing need for a GPS, since I rarely drive in unfamiliar territory. But I decided to get one anyway because (1) I might have occasional use for it and (2) I was suffering from a severe case of gadget lust. Having used an entry-level ... read more

Volume control dial
Re-calculating/mapping feature
Cons: None that I know of.
Summary: This is the greatest tool ever! I do physical therapy home health, so I am constantly driving, and my Garmin c340 has made my life so much simpler now! The text to speech feature is the best. You don't have to take your eyes off of the road to know ... read more

Pros: text-to-speech
extensive POIs
easy to navigate menus
Cons: text-to-speech often very late
Summary: I recently bought this GPS for my girlfriend because she's been hijacking my Tomtom. I decided on this because it maintained the similar shape of the Tomtom she was used to but it was also the least expensive Garmin unit to feature "text to speech" ... read more

Pros: Updateable via the internet. Not latest model but has it all.
Cons: For the Van we found optional dash mount much nicer.
Summary: We have had the c340 for over 6 months. I love it. It has found a faster way through town for me. I connect it to our computer for software and map updates which is an important feature to look for. You can also load your own latitude and longitude ... read more

Cons: Unable to train routes you want or add new places of interest. Windshield mount ineffective.
Summary: I never get lost anymore. My Garmin c340 GPS leads the way. I searched long and hard to find a GPS to suit my needs. I chose this one for its text-to-speech capabilities and for its accuracy. While in the stores, to help me determine the accuracy ... read more

Pros: Speaks streets/locations by name, bright screen, solid cradle
Cons: Little trouble in tall trees/buildings and map is not consistently up to date
Summary: I got this gift as a gift in October and so far have had zero problems and not gotten lost once!! It does all of the usual GPS navigation things BUT will speak the street names (ie instead of simply saying take a turn in 500 feet, it will say take a ... read more

Pros: Gives decent street names before you have to make a turn
Cons: DON'T LET IT FALL OFF OF YOUR DASH!
Summary: I liked the unit for the 6 weeks it worked. I'll cut to the chase tho. My units mount lost suction when I drove through climate changes. The second time it came loose and fell from the dash mount disk, I tried to catch it but it hit my carpeted floor. It ... read more

Pros: Easy, inexpensive, light, touchscreen, streetname announcements, ready out of the box.
Cons: windshield mount, power connects to the mount, not the GSP.
Summary: If you have never owned a navigation device, this is a perfect starting point. This unit visually displays your current position, streets nearby, direction, and if you have programmed a destination, it will display the distance to the next turn, and ... read more

Pros: Ease of use, the maps, the directions.
Cons: None
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Ease of use, good display, text to voice feature.
Cons: The outdated data base of businesses.
Summary: I purchased a refurbished C340 from getfeetwet.com. I had a problem right out of the box where the state names wouldn't show up when I tried to program a route. The helpful people at Get Feet Wet had me do a reset by touching the lower right corner of ... read more

Pros: Speaks, Cool gadget
Cons: Map is already outdated.
Summary: Time is money and gas is gold. If you travel a lot or you are travel in unfamiliar large cities, this may prove beneficial. This may not get much use if you have lived in the same place for years and already know your way around town. This ... read more
