This thing is fantastic. I have not gotten lost sonce I bought this. Very easy to use. So good I'm buying it for my mother who is not very electronic savvy. It has 6 million points of interest. WHich is great becasue I live in a far away state that isn't very interesting to the rest of the nation when developing new things. MAINE. So being able to find the smallest of school is a great thing. We travel all over the state for one sport or another and this seems to find every school we are looking for. And it tells you when you will reach your destination....becasue it can calculate your speed as well. So you know in advance if you are going to be late...and can call ahead. I would recommend greatly.
Garmin - StreetPilot c340 is recommended by canseco24
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.
