Amazon.com Product Description
If you're looking for vehicle navigation that's powerful and simple to use, the Garmin StreetPilot c340 is just the ticket. Right out of the box, this unit helps you make the right turns wherever your travels take you. With an easy-to-use touchscreen interface, text-to-speech voice commands, a brilliant display that shows the way with 2D or 3D animations, and a massive points of interest database, the c340 has all the basics covered. Plus, you'll find some great additional features that make it a must-have companion. 
Look Mom, no buttons! Garmin has taken simplicity to a new level with the c340. | The c340 is designed with simplicity in mind, although Garmin hasn't forgotten to add a touch of class. With a weight of under ten ounces and a width of 4.4 inches, the c340 is ultracompact and easy to transport. To keep confusion on the road to a minimum, the only buttons are a rotary volume knob and an on/off switch. The bright 3.5-inch-diagonal display features a touchscreen, making it a snap to input routing information and make quick selections on the road. The c340 sports dual integrated speakers for high-quality voice prompts, a USB port for PC connectivity, and an internal lithium-ion battery that provides power when you're planning your routes outside the car (approximately 4-8 hours battery life). In addition to an included 12-volt power adapter for in-car power, there's also an SD memory card expansion slot for use with other Garmin MapSource mapping products. The unit is secured by a suction-mount cradle that fastens to the windshield, allowing for easy portability between vehicles. You can even customize the c340's appearance with optional colored faceplates that suit your style. While the c340 has an internal GPS antenna, it also has an MCX-type connector for hooking up an optional external GPS antenna. Finding your way with the c340 starts with inputting a location on the touch screen. Next, the unit's text-to-speech feature speaks to you just like a back seat driver, telling you the names of streets and when to turn and in what direction. And if you happen to miss a turn--don't worry, the c340 automatically calculates a new route to your destination. Audible and visual navigation instructions and warnings help you navigate more quickly while keeping your eyes on the road. You can also choose between a 3D mapping perspective or 2D overhead view. 
The c340 offers clear, easy-to-read 3D directions. | Another time- and frustration-saving feature of the c340 is the database of preloaded maps and points of interest. Gone are the days of uploading partial maps from your computer to your GPS device: the c340 has them all built in. The unit comes preloaded with Garmin's highly detailed City Select NT street data of the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Finding points of interest along your route is made easy with the c340's huge built-in database of nearly six million hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin has also made it easy for users to upload custom points of interest--now you can add school zones or safety cameras to your database. You can even turn on a proximity alert to notify you of upcoming custom points of interest. Garmin really kicks the power of the c340 up a notch with the addition of real-time traffic information. This optional service will display congested areas on a color-coded map, allowing you to avoid traffic by simply pushing a button that calculates a new route. All this wizardry is made possible by the new Garmin GTM 10 receiver that connects to the c340 and other select Garmin products. Note that while the GTM 10 receives digital data from specific FM broadcast stations in select major metro areas throughout the United States and Europe, note that these traffic services are available only in select cities where coverage exists. The service requires the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver and, in some cases, a subscription to enable these traffic capabilities. What's in the Box
StreetPilot c340 receiver with built-in antenna, dual internal speaker system for voice guidance and alerts, vehicle suction cup mount with 12-24 volt adapter, dashboard disk, USB interface cable, preloaded City Select North America NT database, and quick-reference guide.

 Wonder little device July 25, 2008
I bought this product a few days before a long drive from Philly to Bar Harbor, Maine. I was a litte concerned that I wouldn't have a chance to learn how to use it before we left. Talk about worrying about nothing.... I plugged it in...turned it on...and with in minutes...I was a wizard. The GSP does all the work...and adjusts on the fly if you decide take a route other then the suggested route. The entire family got a kick out of changing the nationality of the GPS. By mid-trip...Jill (American voice) or Emily (British voice) became part of the family.
One of the best features was being able to see what the projected time of arrival was...that helped with the age old travel questions..."when are we gonna get there".
I bought this GPS for $155 and shipping was free. I also had a $25 gift card. This is the best $130 I have ever spent.
 good product July 22, 2008
Good price for a Garmin product, a little bit too big compared with newer units. Huge directory of places of interest. It actually gives you the names of the streets, so I like that feature. Very easy to use
Supperior GPS unit July 21, 2008
I recently purchased the C340 for myself after borrowing a unit made by Magellan. I became instantly frustrated by the Magellan from the moment I powered it on. It took me quite some time to figure out how to enter in my destination from the get go. While nearing my destination, the unit was preparing to tell me to turn left at the next street. I proceeded to turn and found out it was off by about 200 ft. When the route attempted to recalculate the route, it took no less than 30 seconds before it got me on my way. After my business meeting, I wanted to get back home. This feature was not availabe on the Magellan. Now that I have the Garmin C340, I have found all of these issues have been resolved along with the talking street name feature which works great. This is the best unit I have ever played around with and the best $150 I have ever spent.
 Stopped working after a week July 20, 2008
I bought this item refurbished. After two days, I kept receiving a message onscreen that the battery was low, even though I kept the product plugged into an external power source. After a week, it stopped working. For the time it worked, it appeared to be a very good product. However, I basically threw my money away on a refurbished product. This is the first time I have had trouble with a refurbished product I have purchased and I am now leary to buy anything refurbished in the future that has a battery. It does not appear the product was actually refurbished but that the battery was close to dead, and so it was sold as refurbished. Disappointing.
Good price for odd item July 19, 2008
I thought I'd try out one of these GPS units but find it superfluous for the most part. But the price was right for experimentation at least.
