I emailed Garmin and was told to take a hike that if I wanted the latest maps then I would have to buy the latest. I received this item as a gift during the last holiday season. This was after finding out that the gift giver paid almost $300.00 for the item in December 2008. I was quite disappointed as it costs 3x some of the newer models and had a map pack from 2007 on there. I expected them to update the product upon registering it but NOOOOO. Even now when I write the review the product is still being sold for two hundred and is old and out of date. Buyer beware as you can do much better buying the newer versions that have more up to date maps and additional features.
It is extremely easy to program. I am very happy with my factory refurbished Garmin GPS. Customer service is outstanding. I have not had it very long so I gave it 4 stars. If it continues at this level of all around satisfaction I will give it 5 stars.
The Garmin Streetpilot 340c will take to the location you enter with ease. Try the different voices as they seem to give you variation in timing to upcoming turns and amount that they say. If all you want is a GPS for going from point A to point B this is the unit. Buy one.
We've been very happy with our Garmin Street Pilot. Easy to use, requiring very little technical knowledge, with very reliable driving instructions.
It said exit 21 for exit 691. Even after driving few miles after merging in highway, the Garmin says to enter highway as it thinks I'm still on the service road.
For example: "Turn left at street and drive 5 miles".Cons: Very bulky. Pros: It says how long to drive before another turn after making a turn.
The Garmin C340 can never differentiate between the right lane of a highway and service road. The suction mount failed after a month.
Bad accuracy. When traveling to Oklahoma, some of the maps were messed up.
I don't know how the exit numbers are completely off for some state highways.Other Thoughts: Compared against Pharos 150 which is a lot better than this.
