I didn't want to buy this product at first but my husband convinced me that we needed it. We borrowed one from a friend for a road trip to NY and I fell in love with it there. It is so plainly simple and so wonderful. I often miss turns because I cannot see street signs but the C340 calls out the street name and tells you when to turn, and it's accurate! You punch in your destination before you leave, it calculates the route, and you're off. The one negative is that the suction cup often falls off the windsheild, which scares the jeebers out of me. We bought a Garmin beanie-bag thing on Amazon that keeps the unit resting on the dashboard and it does the trick. We love this product so much that my parents, my in-laws, and my aunt and uncle have all bought the same one.

The StreetPilot c340 provides in-car navigation that is simple for anyone to use directly out of the box. After selecting a destination from the user-friendly touch screen interface, Garmin's text-to-speech feature tells users the name of the street, when to turn, and in what direction. If you miss your turn, the c340 automatically calculates a new route to the destination. Notification of traffic delays is a c340 option that lets drivers see congested areas via a color-coded map. This feature lets users avoid traffic by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route. This traffic awareness is made possible via the new Garmin GTM 10 FM TMC receiver that connects to selected Garmin street navigation products. The GTM 10 receives digital data from specific FM broadcast stations in select major metro areas throughout the United States and Europe.
