 Smart Girl June 30, 2006

Garmin Sreetilot C340 is one of the examples how far the technology has gone. You can travel without stress or reading maps wherever you want with "Jill", voice that gives you directions. The only problem is that if you drive while an upper level of bridge is above you or you have any kind of obstacle above and you have a ramp in front, you lose the satelite connection and you don't know if you will take right or left. However, if you take a wrong way "Jill" will recalculate and give you new directions in a few seconds. A friend of mine calls her "Smart Girl". I feel very relaxed when I drive with Garmin Street Pilot.
 Excellent features for the money June 29, 2006

I did a lot of research before buying this GPS unit. I think the feature package this comes with is very good. You can pay more, get extra features that I don't really want (mp3 play, pictures etc), but for straightforward GPS use in the car I think it is almost perfect.
I use it in a full sized van and have no problem with the screen size, window mount, or losing satellites. A little more volume would be nice but it's okay.
I like the spoken street names, custom POI's and size of the C340.
Does what it does June 27, 2006

Good use of a touch screen and very easy to follow directions. For the price, this is the right product. I'm more of a second wave of technology kind of person so The Garmin C340 is perfect-- I don't need the latest and greatest, just a solid product.

Absolutely incredible piece of technology. For anyone who's never used a street GPS before, this will change the way you drive. Hollywood will have to stop making those lost-teen horror movies.
Pros:
Crystal clear screen - ok so it gets slightly hard to see in sunlight, but never once was I unable to see the words on the screen.
Text-to-speech synthesizer sounds very lifelike. Reads street names like a real person. The c330 model would say "Turn left in 500 ft." The c340 would say "Turn left on Main Street"
Distance to turn shown on bottom right at all times.
Tells you to bear left or right to exit highway. Always does this with enough time to change lanes. On an interstate, gives you .8 miles advance warning. On a street, gives you 200 ft. warning. Perfect timing.
Accurate to about 10 ft. of your actual location.
Imagine never having to look up your location in some crinkly paper map or go on Mapquest.com ahead of your trip.
Attractions/Points of Interest locator. If you need a restaurant, just pick the type of cuisine and it will tell you all the restaurants nearby in order of distance from your current location. Also shows the direction arrow so you don't choose one that makes you go back and further away from your destination.
Why buy a $2000 factory option when you can buy this portable unit which is 10x better and can be moved between cars?
Cons: They don't cost $19.99. And it's not hooked up to the steering and gas pedals to drive my car automatically. Other than that, it's the best money I ever spent on technology. I've done a ton of research before buying the c340 and it paid off. The next-generation c550 is probably better but also $200 more.

Just got mine today. All I can say is "WOW". It is the perfect size, very crisp screen, and works flawlessly with the firmware upgrade available from the website. I'm very happy with this device.
