 Garmin C340 wins my vote August 8, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Before purchasing a GPS for my car, I compared the many models available and read more reviews than I care to admit. I finally bought a Garmin C340 from Amazon last week, and though I'm an admitted gadget freak and techie. I was amazed at this GPS.
I don't have a single gripe. Nothing. All the positives I read, like not even using a manual, are true. The negative things I read, mostly about it not always finding the best routes, appear in the reviews of every GPS model. While that's true, so what? In an unfamiliar city, it's a lot better to take the long but sure route than to keep stopping to ask directions.
I love the display. It's big and easy to read, and very clearly illustrated. At night, the off-white display turns to black, so your night vision is preserved and no squinting.
It comes with a small quick-start guide, and it's so simple and intuitive that you don't even need it.

This product is amazing when it locates and is able to make a satalite connection. I had trouble making a satalite connection while traveling on Interstate 95 from Florida to South Carolina.
It's good but sometimes wrong August 7, 2006

The Garmin C340 Portable GPS is an amazing little device. It is easy to install and easy to use. It is probably accurate 98% of the time but it has a few glitches in it as far as naming roads. I would have a map handy just in case. If you leave it on all the time the voice can get somewhat annoying. We are going on a long trip in September and I will re-review this device after we get back.
Really worth it August 7, 2006

I just got mine and have been using itfor a couple of weeks now. I initally had problems with it locking up, but I found out that using the webupdater is sometimes not the best thing to do. I just downloaded the update from the garmin site and installed the update and it had been working like a charm. The only thing I cannot figure out yet is how to use the SD card, since I tried to download some POI's and installed them on the Sd card. For soem reason the unit would not read the SD card, but when I install the POI's on the built-in memory of the C 340 it works fine. There is so must written about this unit but I haven't come across any solution yet. The Garmin Website is not really that helpful.If you have questions, you might as well check out all the blogs on the product. Over-all it does what it was built to do. No real complaints here.
 Good, but could be better August 7, 2006

I've own the garmin c340 for 8 months. when i first got it, it locked up 3 or 4 times. after about 7 months i finally went to the garmin website, they claim to have a fix that you could download. i have downloaded the fix and it has not locked up since. this device is good if you are lost, but, 80% of the time it will take you the long way. garmin also claim they have a download to fix that, but on my 340 the problem is still there. the 340 does give you the options for the fastest or the shortest route, but, no matter what you pick, 80% time you're going the long way. when you go to the garmin download site, your 340 Automatically downloads all updates. also the 340 is hard to see in in bright sun light, has alot of glare. having said all that, i am still happy with mine. last but not least----the price WAS NOT RIGHT.
