Trip to the mountains, November 26, 2006

I bought this unit here at Amazon around Nov.13th, played with it around town for a few days. Easy to set up, in fact you really don't need to set anything but your home address and where you want to go. THE BIG TEST! We just came back from our daughters new home for Thanksgiving in the mountains of Franklin, North Carolina. We have never ever been to this area in our life, our Garmin C340 took us right to our daughters front door. It never missed a road or turn, it warned us well in advance of all changes comming up. My wife and I are in our mid 60's, eye sight and hearing is not like once was. The unit is easy to see and hear. We are very, very pleased.

I've become hooked on this incredible device

This is perhaps the best piece of technology I've ever owned. Not only cool and a pleasure to use, but extremely useful. I live in the SF Bay Area, with all its traffic, so I'm especially fond of the real-time traffic indicator. The C340 is constantly updating traffic conditions with color-coded stretches of highway(green=slight, yellow=moderate, red=severe) and even specific comments regarding the CAUSE of the traffic problem (i.e. accident on left shoulder, spilled boxes, whatever) and traffic flow rates, so you can judge whether you want to proceed or see an alternate route - which the C340 will automatically calculate for you if you just tap the screen. My only criticism is that sometimes the traffic indication is not up to the minute, so more frequent updating would be an improvement.

Incredibly easy to use

When I opened my Garmin 340 box I looked carefully for the thick manual. I couldn't find one, and, as it turns out, you don't need one. I have never seen an easier to set up electronic device, and that includes the Palm. The unit was ready to run out of the box.So my next step was to figure out the CD and install the drivers. I inserted the CD and followed the instructions. The instructions told me to turn the Garmin on and then attach it to the PC. Aha! I thought. They didn't tell me how to charge it. But, I pushed the on/off button anyway and it turns out it was already charged! I then plugged it into the PC and followed the instructions to go to the website and download the application that looked for updates. The application found my Garmin and told me there were no updates. So then I figured the suction cup device would be hard to use. Nope. It attached easily to my windshield. The device attached to the suction cup holder in an obvious way. My only problem was that I couldn't figure out where to plug in the power cord. The quick setup manual quickly showed me how to do that. It plugged right into the holder! Though I read through the manual it was completely unnecessary. The interface was easy to use, the driving instructions are easy to follow. I used it the next morning and found a customer site I'd never seen before. My only concern was that I found the screen hard to see in bright sun with polarized sunglasses. But that's more of a physics issue than a product issue. I am TOTALLY impressed!
