 How did I get by without one... February 7, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
You've probably read how the guidance isn't perfect and I'm not going to tell you otherwise. But any time I've found myself getting misled I just use the map and regular map reading skills to start moving in the right direction. The device will recalculate and you're on your way. With the clear, concise voice directions you can still concentrate on avoiding other cars. So what if I miss a junction/turning - I just keep following the purple line!
And yes - when you take it on the plane it can be a little slow to get it's bearings. But the 15 minute ride in the rental car shuttle is usually enough for it to figure out where it is. Slap it on the windshield and you're ready to go when the barrier goes up.
Finally, the interface is just how it should be - the button logic is clear and operation is exactly as you would expect.
No complaints apart from the occasional minor routing error. When I used map print outs there were many more errors and a lot more stress...

The device is great - just do not buy anything from AMAZON (mybe books) because they do not stand behind the warenty. They tell you "Items ordered via Amazon Marketplace are not directly fulfilled by Amazon.com. For that reason, your merchant, servicecontractsbynew@newcorp.com, must be the one to handle any authorized return of this order" and you are stuck.

I received my Garmin GPS, read the simple directions, and then proceeded to use it. So far, it's kept me on the right roads...
I am completely satisfied with this fine piece of electronics

I have been wanting a GPS for about 2 years now. I finally got the C340 last week. So far its been amazing. I was introduced to Garmin by my friend who owns a 2610, uptil now thats what I wanted but when I did a search for Garmins and saw all the features in this thing I didnt mind spending an extra $250.
What I liked..
1)I missed UPS at my house so I had to go pick it up from their service center. I took it out of the box, plugged the cable into my car and to the GPS and it turned on. Put my home adress in and in seconds it was guiding me home. Amazingly easy to use..
2)The text to voice Jill character is very accurate and helpful. In one week and alot of driving it only got one name wrong for a grocery store (Meijer's pronounced Mai-ers, "Jill" pronouned it "Meee-jers").
3)It comes with an internal battery, I am not really using the power chord that comes with it for the car. The charge lasts pretty long. A few days even depending on how much driving you do. When its out of charge I plug it in to my car it get charged back up and the wire is back off. It looks sleek without a wire plus you can take it inside or whatever to play around with it. This is a great feature.
4)POI's or point of interests. I discovered a new resturant 3 miles from my place I had never known existed. Also you can type in something that you don't see listed and it will find it for you. For example "Subway" or "Western Michigan University" or "Meijers" and it ll give you the phone number and address and all you do is hit Go and it ll take you there.
5)Very user friendly and intuitive. Its like it knows what you want. The menu options are easy to use and buttons are nice and big so you don't have to struggle to put info in while driving. Although I wouldn't necessarily recommend doing this.
What I was dissapointed about..
1) And only one complaint. When you put in a destination, it will only give you information regarding that destination. Especially on the freeways it wont show you and streets etc in detail. The top bar will tell you whats next and thats it. You can go into "browse map" and get a very very detailed map but that map doesnt move with the car and its defaulted zoomed out so you gotta zoom into your location then keep pressing arrows to follow your car. Very annoying.
Other then that I am very happy with this GPS. I think the simplicity and other benefits completly outweigh the one issue I have with this thing. All in all I am glad I got it.
It's does the job well I try it out I trust it!!! January 16, 2006
