tiffanyo says "I would be lost without it!" about Garmin - StreetPilot c340

I love my Garmin GPS. I'd be completely lost without it, especially travling all over the place and living in a new location. Living in a new place, it's extremely important to have a reliable GPS that can find me the address I need. The only complaints that I have are sometimes it doesn't take me the most direct route (like around the interstate versus on the interstate) and a few times it can't find the address, but this may be because I haven't updated my map since I got it. I love the turn by turn directions and that it tells me what street I will turn on and when.

My husband loves that we can change the lanugage and voice on the Garmin as well. We fondly refer to ours as Jill because that's the name for the English version. I love that we can follow the map if we can't exactly see the street signs and that the display switches between night and day automatically. It's very helpful.

iriemama says "Garmin GPS is accurate, but not always up to date" about Garmin - StreetPilot c340

I've had my Garmin for a few years now and love it. It's saved me so many times from getting lost. My only complaint is that even when I update it online it doesn't always update.

It is a little slow in getting started and often gets hung up on the aquiring location screen.

It is very user friendly. I was able to figure out how to use it without having to read a huge manual.

I like the features where I can choose categories like shopping, restaurants, or even search by intersection if I don't have an exact address.

Kaybe says "garmin is one of my smartest purchases. Its easy and accurate" about Garmin - StreetPilot c340

If your thinking about gps; think garmin. Its so easy to use and has saved many " why are we lost" arguements for this family. It makes traveling relaxing and fun. The only down fall is that it only caculates one route. However, we have never been steered wrong with it. We have gone from Michigan to Florida, Texas, Tennesse and California and were guided the whole way by ors gps. We found good restaurants and lots of different activites using our Garmin. ...

booper6973 says "Would NEVER buy Garmin again!" about Garmin - StreetPilot c340

We have 3 different GPS systems. For the price we paid for the Garmin & the Magellan you would think that they would be more precise and upgrades would be cheaper! My husbands Nextar is the BEST GPS we have. Even though it was considerably cheaper, its acccuracy is remarkable, it has MP3 capabilities (unlike the other two we own) and the upgrades are FREE!!!!!!!!!! ...

I got the Garmin GPS for my husband last Christmas -- another guy gadget for his collection. As for me I use maps...or so I thought. I was up in the north Goergia mountains and had the device with me. I got sidetracked and soon became lost. Lord knows i thought most roads were paved!!! Much to my surprise I ended up on a dirt road with the only inhabitants homes decorated with coaches and wash machines on the front porch!!! I was so glad I had the Garmin with me -- got me out of there in no time with anll my teeth still in my mouth!

P.S. No long afterwards it began speaking only in French! I think it had PTSD.

Sara1947 says "Never go on a trip unless you take your Garmin Street Pilot eith" about Garmin - StreetPilot c340

Sara1947 — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:45:28 GMT

Before we got our Garmin we usually got lost once or twice on trips. Now that we have the Garmin Street Pilot we never get lost. we never have to stop and ask for directions. the Garmin is user friendly. It is great when you miss a turn because it will reset and give you new directions to get you back on track. It is kind of nice to hear the directions spoken instead of having to read map. The only thing we haven't figured out yet is when it says there is a better route how to get it to tell us the new route. There were few directions in the box so it is more or less drive and learn. Even though we can not figure out the better route we are extremely happy that we bought the Garmin street Pilot....

brncofan2182 says "great thing to have if a tourist!" about Garmin - StreetPilot c340

brncofan2182 — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 16:51:24 GMT

the garmin street pilot GPS is a great thing to have when you dont know the area or where you are going! it gives you turn by turn directions and shows you main objects like rivers, lakes, airports, etc. i would be lost without it, with the line of work that i do, i'd never leave home without it! GPS systems are great for anyone to have and could even come into play when in case of an emergency. the street pilot is small and compact and even comes with a mounting stand that you can attach to your windshield....

We actually have 2 Garmin Gps and love them. We had to send one back at one point but thei customerr service is great!. we never have to ask for directions again. This model does all that you need without the extras that (in my opinion) are a waste of money.

jesusdelasanchez says "Pretty good for a 200 dollar unit" about Garmin - StreetPilot c340

jesusdelasanchez — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:34:41 GMT

The Garmin c340 is my first GPS device and I am fairly happy with my purchase. I bought this unit on Black Friday of 2007 when it was on sale for 50% off at Circuit City. Since then, I have used it quite frequently, especially when getting lost. This unit is great for taking detours, because it recalculates routes very quickly. The only issue that I have with this unit is that it tends to lose singals easily among tall buildings or if there are any obstructions overhead....

boopster1031 says "Easy to use for everyone - even those technically challenged" about Garmin - StreetPilot c340

boopster1031 — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:10:21 GMT

This device is truly a gift! My fiance' (a typical man) will not ask for directions under any circumstances. This little device eliminates much frustration when traveling - whether around town or long distances. Simply enter the address of your destination & voice prompts direct you there. If one happens to make a wrong turn, it immediately re-calculates and gives you new directions. Definitely a must-have!...

This is a great product. I received this from my husband as a gift so that I wouldn't get lost on my business trips. It was easy to use and I never have gotten lost while using it....

theresaslater23ky says "This product is awesome!" about Garmin - StreetPilot c340

theresaslater23ky — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 23:41:58 GMT

I love my GPS system. It gets me where I need to go without the mess of a map! All you need to do is type the address of where you are going, and let it guide you. How easy is that!! I am a daily driver, and have two sons, so I stay on the road. I also go to college, so what better gift can I get than this device. I get lost very easy when in places I am not familiar with, so this is a good product for me. Our family loves to take road trips and just go anywhere! My Garmin impresses me and the whole family, it has never taken us to a wrong address since I have had it!

I strongly recommend people who love driving and get lost easy, like myself, to get one of these systems. You will love it as much as I do! That is a promise!

skotty8191 says "Great GPS for the price." about Garmin - StreetPilot c340

skotty8191 — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 02:21:03 GMT

Ok, here's the deal...I purchased this unit after several days of research. I found that Garmin has good customer service as well as great products. I know that this unit is marked as "discontinued" on the Garmin website but if you buy it now, it does come with the most up to date maps (2008 NT version). I've used it a bunch of times with no issues at all. The windshield mount has been great. I've read that some people have had the windshild mount fall off. I really don't think it's possible and here is why, If you stick the bracket on the windshild, it sticks really well but you have to flip a switch that sucks the suction cup really tight. I think people are not flipping that switch which isn't giving you the proper suction. The battery life is said to be 8 hrs but i haven't had to test this out yet. The charger goes from your cigarette lighter and plugs into the windshield mount directly. Here is the cool part.... Download the POI Loader from the Garmin website.(POI is the point......
