 Pros and Cons... Short and Sweet! September 12, 2008
Pros -
User friendly reasonably accurate some nice features.
Cons -
1. Takes too long to track satellite.
2. Window mount - falls of the window. Cumbersome and expensive to replace.
Own a Tom Tom as well. Compared the two in an A-B simultaneous comparison...
They both will get you there. The directions were the same. The terminology of where to go was different, but equal.
The Tom Tom does not fall of the window, and fits in your pocket. Grabs the satellite much faster than the Garmin. If I had to buy again, probably the Tom Tom - just because of the Satellite reception time.

The people who rate this 5 stars have no clue what a good GPS is.
This is the same unit National Rent a car uses. My group and I are frequent travelers, each renting cars 3-4 weeks per month. We all HATE this system so much we moved to Hertz, even at a higher price. This unit got us all lost so many times I cant keep track. Last week I got stuck renting National in San Antonio and again totally lost twice in one trip. "you have arrived" to an empty lot in a ghetto an hour from my destination. Again returning to the airport. Same thing in Seattle, Huston, Pittsburgh, ect. And we all have similar stories.
Want to find a local restaurant? I won't just list all in the area, you have to choose the type, American, barbeque, Japanese, ect. I can go on.. good luck
 Garmin makes the best.. September 11, 2008

This is the fifth Garmin and the 3rd c340 I have purchased. So needless to say, I am very impressed with the product. We tried a Tom-Tom product and found it to be cumbersome to use and didn't like the setup, so we sent it back and got another c340. Any time I buy a GPS product, it will be a Garmin.
Don't be afraid to buy refurbished September 9, 2008
I bought the refurbished factory sealed unit from digitechdeals and it works great and appeared to be brand new. The unit itself has helped me numerous times since my move to New Orleans. This is a computer so you can't expect it to always take the route that a local would take. If you're using it to navigate a new hometown, you must take some responsibility to learn the main streets yourself and it will recalculate according to the route you take. If you use it for A to B road trips, it works great. Comes with a suction cup mount and must be mounted in order to pick up satellites. In my experience it won't work for walking or biking or sitting on your carseat, you have to mount it to the windshield of your car. I paid under $130 total for the resealed unit and am happy I saved some money.
Great Piece of Equiment September 7, 2008

I purchased this Garmin because I had borrowed one from my Mother and loved it. I really like it a lot!!! The only "downfall" is that it really likes back roads; which is okay with me, but if you like to drive highway you might not like that feature. That said, however, if you know what highway to get on it will recalculate and take you that route. It is VERY EASY to use and I am glad that I have one, it helps find addresses for any reason - from going to Yard Sales in the town you live in, to visiting new places!!! If you want a Garmin but don't need a bunch of extra STUFF, this is the one to get!
