Customer Reviews

performed great

We were leaving for a trip when the truck arrived with the unit. We put the box in the car and drove out of the driveway. While travelling from Rhode Island to New Hampshire, we turned the unit on and used the suction cup to attach the unit to the window. It took about 15 seconds to locate our position. We didn't read the directions but found the touch screen is very intuitive as we punched in our destination. It worked great and we followed the verbal prompts right to the front door of our destination four hours later. We then traveled to Maine with similar success. The suction mount works fine and presented no problems. The screen is fairly small but OK. It was extremely accurate and even identified a dirt road in a remote campground. We had it on for a total of 500 miles and we were very pleased with it's performance.


How did I get by without one...

You've probably read how the guidance isn't perfect and I'm not going to tell you otherwise. But any time I've found myself getting misled I just use the map and regular map reading skills to start moving in the right direction. The device will recalculate and you're on your way. With the clear, concise voice directions you can still concentrate on avoiding other cars. So what if I miss a junction/turning - I just keep following the purple line!

And yes - when you take it on the plane it can be a little slow to get it's bearings. But the 15 minute ride in the rental car shuttle is usually enough for it to figure out where it is. Slap it on the windshield and you're ready to go when the barrier goes up.

Finally, the interface is just how it should be - the button logic is clear and operation is exactly as you would expect.

No complaints apart from the occasional minor routing error. When I used map print outs there were many more errors and a lot more stress...


Garmin C340 is great AMZON service contract sucks

The device is great - just do not buy anything from AMAZON (mybe books) because they do not stand behind the warenty. They tell you "Items ordered via Amazon Marketplace are not directly fulfilled by Amazon.com. For that reason, your merchant, servicecontractsbynew@newcorp.com, must be the one to handle any authorized return of this order" and you are stuck.
