Don't leave home without it November 10, 2008
I cannot read maps or use the mapquest directions without missing a turn. I need specifics, like roads as I pass them so I can see how close I am getting to the road I need to turn on. This system gives you play by play directions until you get to your destination. I love, love, love this product. Matter of fact, each time I take it with me when someone else is driving, they usually get the model number and purchase it for themself. It is sooo easy to use and talks the directions to me step by step. When I'm somewhere it's confusing like a large city, I enlarge the map so I can look ahead to see where I'm headed. Cannot say enough good things about this product if you are location or map challenged like me!
 Beware of mapping updates November 10, 2008
I just tried to put the 2009 City Navigator North America NT map into this GPSr. It will not show water features after the update. Garmin has told me that this is a problem with this unit. They are reimbursing me the price of the map update because I can't use it for finding streams, lakes, and rivers. If all you want to do is put in an address and go, that's fine. It's been a great GPSr for me and has taken me places I didn't even know exist. Just remember that you may not be able to see the water features on the map, depending on your location. And you may not be able to pinpoint your favorite fishing hole because it won't show up - all all. I'm putting the old 2008 map back in so I can use it for finding water features.
For the price of this unit, you can get a new one and not go through the headache of using outdated maps for the rest of the time you use it.
Garmin StreetPilot c340 November 2, 2008

I owned the Garmin StreetPilot c330 for 3-4 years before purchasing the c340 and it was so easy to use I wanted something that operated the same way. I was going to buy a CD to upgrade the maps to reflect road changes in my area, but they wanted $80-$90 for the CD. That didn't seem to make much sense to me so I started to look for a new unit.
The c340 operates the exact same way as the c330 with one additional feature...it tells you the name of the street to turn on rather than just "turn left" or "turn right". Saying the street names is a huge help in navigating and I'm really glad I upgraded to this new unit.
Midway Auto Supply, Inc shipped the c340 and they were excellent to deal with. The new unit arrived in just a few days and the price was great...just $156.
I know they stopped manufacturing this unit, but for anyone looking for a great navigation system for short money, you can't go wrong with the c340.
