  • ~~ GOD IS MY CO-PILOT WITH THE GARMIN STREETPILOT C340 GPS RECEIVER ~~

    Jul 14 '07
    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

  • Help for the Geographically Challenged

    May 26 '09
    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

  • We're not lost anymore

    Apr 26 '08
    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    Cons: outdated maps & stores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

  • Works as advertised so far

    Apr 08 '08
    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

  • Can't live w/out it!

    Apr 03 '08
    Pros: Text to Speech 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

  • Satisfactory GPS

    Mar 25 '08
    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

  • I ONCE WAS LOST BUT NOW I'M FOUND

    Feb 14 '08
    Pros: Great Accuracy, Good Signal Strength, Clear Directions
    Cons: Suction cup reliability can be an issue

    Summary: This is a great GPS. End of story. What you want to hear more? Ok, here's why this GPS has been a great addition to my life. This was the first GPS I ever bought and I purchased it for my wife. I found a great deal online and bought it without ever ... read more

  • Excellent, capable, low-cost auto GPS

    Dec 26 '07
    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

  • Never be lost again--Garmin even tells you street names

    Dec 26 '07
    Pros: Clear spoken directions, quick satellite reception, easy to use, free maps update.
    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

  • Find your way to this device

    Dec 07 '07
    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

  • What ever you do, don't drop it off your dash

    Dec 03 '07
    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

  • Why you SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T buy this unit......

    Oct 30 '07
    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

  • It's My Eyes

    Sep 11 '07
    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

  • Better than I imagined

    May 18 '07
    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

  • Where on Earth am I and how do I get there from here?

    Mar 12 '07
    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
