 Great Item March 8, 2006
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I had a tomtom go 700 and I sold it. This Item is great. Better maps than the tomtom and better satellite accuracy. The option that it has where it actually tells you the name of the street you have to turn on. The tomtom has a smoother operation. But overall the Garmin is a better product in my mind. It doesnt have all the options as the tomtom, but if your looking for a great Navigation system for an affordable price, i would suggest to stick with Garmin.
 very good March 3, 2006

This gps system works quite well. It made a few mistakes and did not give the correct exit on one highway. It sometimes does not warn you of an upcoming turn until the last minute. Even with these minor mistakes I would not go anywhere without it.
Best Present I ever bought for my wife March 3, 2006

This GPS system is so easy to use. My wife loves it. She has confidence to go places she previously avoided because she will never get lost. I would love to get one for myself and never have to use mapquest again.
Garmin Streetpilot c340 Review February 26, 2006
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I very much liked everything about this unit, it is accurate, I can clearly understand the voice prompts and I can see I'd never get to my destination as easily without it. There are two comments that I'd mention, at installation on my windshield, it couldn't read the satellites, I later found out it is because of the window tinting blocking the signal. The second thing I'd mention, unless I am reading it wrong, I don't see the distance remaining to my destination but it does show the ETA.
Solid product, high recommendation February 25, 2006

I have used Garmin Streetpilot C340 for about 2 months now. My decision came down to TomTom and this model. I could have easily gotten either one, I guess, since both items are highly recommended on various web sites. I wanted a GPS because I was driving to Washington D.C. (from central PA) for a 6-week training and I had never been to D.C. before. The unit was easy to use right out of the box. I read the quick reference sheet for less than 5 min and was ready to go. The map was very accurate and I had absoluately no problem driving around D.C.. It even knew which street was one way and led me to the correct turn. One small problem I had was that if I drive too fast on the city street, the voice warning maybe a bit too slow and I would had to make a quick turn at the last minute or missed the turn completely. Once I learned to pay attention both the monitor (it tells you the distance you have left before the next turn) and the voice, I had no more problem. Besides the unit recalculate a new route quite efficiently if I did miss a turn. The pre-loaded data, which are broken down into various categories (food, shopping, gas, parking, major attraction, etc) is very helpful, though not all business are listed, of course. But if I have a specific place to go, I just type in the exact address (which is relatively easy to do with the touch screen) and it leads me to the correct location without fail. I drove around D.C. and suburbs a lot and felt like I knew the city well. It is 100x better than trying to use a map and had to constantly look for street name/signs. Highly recommend for people who travel to unfamiliar cities often. I'll be going to San Fran next month to visit my brother, and can't wait to see what this thing can do.
The only minor issues (basically two) i have with this are the same other reviewers mentioned already. 1) On the trip calculator, it displays the estimated arrival time only. I wish it also displays the distance left to the destination. 2) The power source does not plug into the unit itself directly, instead it only plugs into the supporting base. By the way, love the internal battery which allow me to use it outside of my car. The unit is small enough that I can carry it in my jacket pocket. A few times I used it as a map while walking around D.C.. It's kind of geeky, I know, but it got me where I needed to go.
