Description
The Garmin StreetPilot c340 GPS is a user-friendly portable GPS navigator that's ready to go right out of the box. The Garmin c340 GPS comes preloaded with US and Canadian maps and a massive points of interest database, making navigation a breeze. It's a tiny GPS, sporting a bright 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD display for read-at-a-glance convenience - simply touch and go. And with only two physical controls , this portable GPS navigator has a simple yet elegant design. GENERAL FEATURES The Garmin StreetPilot c340 GPS navigator features pre-loaded City Navigator NT maps, which include color-coded 2D and 3D street maps as well as a database of six million points of interest. You can even add your own custom points of interest, or set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs. The Garmin StreetPilot c340 also includes dual speakers for high-quality voice prompting, and its text-to-speech function provides turn-by-turn directions, pronouncing the street names perfectly. Just select a destination and go. The Garmin c340 also features a WAAS-enabled 12-channel GPS receiver, which provides GPS signal corrections for better position accuracy. It can tell your location to within 3 meters. REAL-TIME TRAFFIC INFORMATION Want to avoid construction and traffic? It's easy - just add the optional FM TMC traffic receiver, which lets the Garmin c340 GPS receive a continuous stream of TMC traffic information. It uses its own FM transmitter, which means you can keep listening to your stereo interruption-free while the Garmin c340 calculates new routes and minimizes delays. EXPANDABLE GPS The Garmin StreetPilot c340 GPS navigator comes with an SD card slot, making it convenient to add optional maps and other Garmin MapSource products. If you don't use SD cards, it also has a USB port for PC connectivity. And even though the Garmin c340 has its own internal GPS antenna, it also comes with an MCX-type connector to add an optional external GPS antenna for better satellite reception. ON-THE-GO On the road, the Garmin c340 GPS is anchored to a suction-mount cradle that fastens to the windshield or dash. This provides for easy adjustment and release, so you can move it from vehicle to vehicle. It also includes a 12-volt power adapter for in-car charging. The Garmin StreetPilot c340 GPS is even small enough that you can take it with you on foot, too: its small size and light weight make it very portable, and the lithium-ion battery can power the navigation system for up to 8 hours.

Strengths: Easy user interface, responsive touch screen, awesome navigational accuracy and options
Weakness: display not large or bright enough to see well in bright sunlight
This product is amazing. There are other GPS units with similar features but this one has the right price and right size. It practically fits in my pocket which is a plus since I would never leave a $600+ GPS in my car mounted to the window in clear view. The best part is the user interface and Touch Screen responsiveness. Compared to the Magellan 360, this unit has a much better user interface....
Strengths: This is a great little navigator. Easy to install, right out of the box. Had it working in less than 20 minutes. Very accurate even in rural areas like where I live.
Weakness: Sometimes uses road names I am not familiar with instead of route numbers but this was not a serious problem
I highly recommend this product. I bought one for my daughter and when I saw how easily it set up and how easy it was to use I bought one for myself. It is a very good investment.
Strengths: Mostly accurate, extremely inuitive design, small enough to lock in the glove box.
Weakness: On the county routes it doesn't give you the actual street name just CR-567. In my town CR-567 is Readington Rd
Out of the box the c340 Streetpilot was a godsend. Over the time I have owned it has performed outstandingly. A great product. I highly recommend it. Buy it and you won't be disappointed.
Strengths: Intuitive features, great response, works right out of the box
Weakness: Needs anti-glare screen
You can buy more expensive GPS units, but the StreetPilot c340 delivers what it promises. Without reading the manual, the touch menu-screen is very intuitive. You only have two opening options: (1) view map or (2) where do you want to go. Just plug in the info and you're on your way. Some of the favorite locations are already programmed in. You can use these or create your own. The beauty of the...
Strengths: touchscreen, 6 million poi,
Weakness: some newer streets missing, occasionally tells you wrong street name
If you want a great gps system and don't care about XM radio, traffic, bluetooth, etc, get this one! It has great features, including text to speech (it tells you the actual street names), touchscreen, and built in maps. The one I bought already had the newest operating system, so I did not have to update it as some of the earlier buyers had to (there is an included cable to use if you need to...
Strengths: Everything. Easy to use. I like the new traffic alert feature.
Weakness: Maps need updating to at least within 3 months before receiving product.
It has been the best investment I have ever made. My husband loses all sense of direction and just relies on me for help. I happy that the streetpilot can now guide him without me there. It will definitely help us anywhere we go. It is a good buy and I would recommend it to everyone.
Strengths: Easy to use right out of the box. Came with simple instruction manual. Gives highway names, not just route numbers. Comes with several voices options. Excellent sound - easy to understand.
Weakness: None encountered yet.
Received as a Christmas present. Set-up at my daughter's home in VA, mounted it in her car, spelled the name of a local Leesburg shopping mall into device and it took me there with no problems. On way home to PA it showed me several different routes that I could have taken. While driving around home without a destination entered it shows up-coming intersections with either the route number or...
Strengths: Excellent Price! Very well Made, Durable! All Accessories Included! Totally Plug and Play! Easy to Use! Fun to Have! A real time Saver! Everyone who drives should own one!
Weakness: The only weakness that I found is you need to Power the GPS down then Power it up again when crossing from one state to another via a Ferry because the GPS needs to Re-Calibrate to get a Bearing.
For half the Price of the competition The Garmin StreetPilot c330 is FANTASTIC! Simply attach it with the Included Suction Cup Holder to the inside of your windshield just under your rear view mirror, plug it into your cigarette lighter receptical and thats it! Upon Power Up The GPS acquires a satellite then calibrates automatically! Then just Key in where you want to go on the Touch Screen and...
Strengths: Easy to use. Tells you the street name, not just turn left/right. Millions of POI, can find gas stations, food, lodging, grocery/shopping, attractions easily. 8 hr battery life. Strong suction mount.
Weakness: Depending on your surrounding, may take 1+ minute to get satellite signal. AC charger not provided but can connect to your PC. Only provide quite reference guide. Need to download full manual.
Paid less than $450 shipped from PCNation.com. Tried it in east+westcoast. Absolutely fantastic. No more wasting time on paper maps and getting lost. C340 is worth the extra $$$ over C330 'cos it tells you the street name instead of just turn left/right. Find addresses, gas stations, food, lodging, grocery/shopping, attractions, etc at your finger tip. Easy windshield mounting. Long battery life...

Very nice GPS
Strengths: Accurate, small, runs on batteries, text-to-speech, very easy to use.
Weakness: Manual is just not helpful at all, keyboard layout is in alphabetical order instead of QWERTY.
This is a great little unit that does more than the Lexus factory GPS that I've used. I was thinking of getting the C330 because of the lower price (over $100 less) and there would be no wait. However, I decided that the wait and extra cost would be worth it because the C340 has the latest maps, info, and the text-to-speech feature. So far, I'm very satisfied. The C340 is very accurate. It has...
