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...

The Bottom Line: Useful tool but not perfect. Don't expect to rely on it completely while driving.

Review: I have been using this unit for about 1 month and used it intermittently on local travel as well as long distance travel. The is the first auto GPS unit that we have purchased. The major reason I purchased it was for helping my wife and I find...

Review: I go this absolute marvel from my wife. I had read the previous reviews still I went ahead with c340. When I got the product in my hands I opened it in my study not under a clear sky. It acquired the signal and pointer was correct. My friend at work...

Review: I got the C340 for my wife for Christmas, and we both love it! First, the voice of Jill is great -- especially because she gives the actual street names. The screen is sharp and easy to read, the instructions clear, and the touch screen makes...

Review: I started looking for a portable GPS system for myself to toy with, and mostly for my girlfriend who travels quite a bit. I purchased this unit after reading reviews for several other consumer GPS systems.

My girlfriend and I both love it...

The Bottom Line: I gave it four stars only because of the outdated database in the unit. If it weren't for that the unit would be perfect!

Review: 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...

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...

The Bottom Line: Handy for travel in well-established areas. Not so good for exploring new areas.

Review: 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...

The Bottom Line: Recommend buying this GPS because it is easy to use, extremely accurate in giving directions and displaying street locations, and easy to choose features through the touch screen while driving.

Review: I bought the Garmin c340 after reading many reviews on this site. I wanted a unit that was easy to use (touch screen) and had the improved voice capability. The extra feature of getting "traffic avoidance information" available with this unit was...

Review: I've had mine for a week and love it. Opened the box and in 10 minutes I was using it.
Only drawback so far is that it occasionally announces a turn when you're almost right at the turn. So once in awhile it requires you to look at the screen...
