good for the $
pros. great for finding places around town! purchased factory refurbished for 130.
cons: traveling out of town not so great. lost sat's under clear skies and small screen, don't think 5" screen anybetter, hard to locate places by map. gps sensor not very sensitive/accurate. driving on feeder road still shows as being on freeway. laptop streets much better for out of town
excellent
Product works excellent...covers Canada which many others do not.
Also several years ago I had a product by Garmin out of warranty..they fixed it twice at no charge !!!! I know this isn't the real world, but that's how Garmin thinks...they care about their customer.
Not quite a Nuvi but a good value
I have a Garmin Nuvi 660 and have found it to be a fantastic product. Although prices have come down quite a bit since I bought it in July 2007, it's still a bit pricy. I was looking for a good unit to give as a gift, but I also wanted something that wasn't going to break the bank. After looking around a bit I decided on the Garmin c340. It was well priced with a few good features including text-to-speech which announces "Turn left on Elm Street", and not just "Turn Left". The two I gave my relatives are used frequently.

Garmin StreetPilot c340
I bought this gps for my husband who is a truck driver. He goes all over the US and Canada. We need to upgrade the maps but, outside of that it has done the job it was made for. My husband has not got lost yet. He says that this is the easiest gps he has been around. It's easy to understand and the features it comes with are great. Thank You for shipping this out as early as you did. He really likes Garmin StreetPilot c340 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator.
Great little GPS
I bought this C340 to help me on a 1200 mile trip. Once I figured out how to get it to set up to the roads I wanted to take to a destination rather than the preprogrammed routes it was worth every penny. It guided me flawlessly around unfamiliar spider web networks of expressways and I pulled up in front of my destination without missing a beat. I mapped my route before leaving home with the help of a road map since it wanted me to take a couple roads I didn't want to use. To bypass this feature I simply put in the destination, then added a city on the road I wanted and it asked if I wanted to go to my final destination by way of this city. I said yes and it re-routed to my travel plan. Great device--includes which lane is needed for xway exits ... Read More
