- Very satisfiedThis is the 2nd Streetpilot c340 that I have purchased (one for myself, one for my sister and bro-in-law. We have been completely satisfied. We especially like the voice directions because we don't have to take our eyes off the road. If you want an "entertainment center" this isn't it, but it will give you great directions. Rating: - Good GPSI like this GPS, but it is a little bulky. I wish I would have sprung for on the thinner models. However, it's a great device and I've had it for almost two years with very few complaints. Rating: - Pros and Cons... Short and Sweet!Pros - User friendly reasonably accurate some nice features. Cons - 1. Takes too long to track satellite. 2. Window mount - falls of the window. Cumbersome and expensive to replace. Own a Tom Tom as well. Compared the two in an A-B simultaneous comparison... They both will get you there. The directions were the same. The terminology of where to go was different, but equal. The Tom Tom does not fall of the window, and fits in your pocket. Grabs the satellite much faster than the Garmin. If I had to buy again, probably the Tom Tom - just because of the Satellite reception time. Rating: - Nightmare !!!!!! STAY AWAYThe people who rate this 5 stars have no clue what a good GPS is. This is the same unit National Rent a car uses. My group and I are frequent travelers, each renting cars 3-4 weeks per month. We all HATE this system so much we moved to Hertz, even at a higher price. This unit got us all lost so many times I cant keep track. Last week I got stuck renting National in San Antonio and again totally lost twice in one trip. "you have arrived" to an empty lot in a ghetto an hour from my destination. Again returning to the airport. Same thing in Seattle, Huston, Pittsburgh, ect. And we all have similar stories. Want to find a local restaurant? I won't just list all in the area, you have to choose the type, American, barbeque, Japanese, ect. I can go on.. good luck Rating: - Garmin makes the best..This is the fifth Garmin and the 3rd c340 I have purchased. So needless to say, I am very impressed with the product. We tried a Tom-Tom product and found it to be cumbersome to use and didn't like the setup, so we sent it back and got another c340. Any time I buy a GPS product, it will be a Garmin.
