User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars excellent
Product works excellent…covers Canada which many others do not.

Also several years ago I had a product by Garmin out of warranty..they fixed it twice at no charge !!!! I know this isn’t the real world, but that’s how Garmin thinks…they care about their customer.

3 Stars good for the $
pros. great for finding places around town! purchased factory refurbished for 130.

cons: traveling out of town not so great. lost sat’s under clear skies and small screen, don’t think 5″ screen anybetter, hard to locate places by map. gps sensor not very sensitive/accurate. driving on feeder road still shows as being on freeway. laptop streets much better for out of town

4 Stars Not quite a Nuvi but a good value
I have a Garmin Nuvi 660 and have found it to be a fantastic product. Although prices have come down quite a bit since I bought it in July 2007, it’s still a bit pricy. I was looking for a good unit to give as a gift, but I also wanted something that wasn’t going to break the bank. After looking around a bit I decided on the Garmin c340. It was well priced with a few good features including text-to-speech which announces “Turn left on Elm Street”, and not just “Turn Left”. The two I gave my relatives are used frequently. They’ve had them for about a year now and so far they are very pleased with their c340. It lacks some of the bells & whistles that the more expensive nuvi models have, and it’s bulky shape isn’t as handy, but if your goal is to find an address or the travel necessities of fuel, food, etc., the c340 delivers very well for the money. For anyone who has been frustrated finding and downloading directions, or has missing their share of unmarked turns, the world of GPS is the best thing to come along since the Texaco Road Map. If you want to jump into GPS but don’t want to go to the expense of a high end model, the c340 is a good value.

5 Stars Fantastic!!!!
I bought this gps knowing nothing about them,only the reviews I have read.I used this devise the first time a couple nights ago in a terrible rain storm.I had to drive from Va to Md due to a death in my family.I entered the information where I needed to go and took off.This thing was perfect,it got me through DC and all the road construction there and back.If you have ever traveled 495,295 50 etc you know this can be really confusing.But the street pilot worked perfectly and never screwed up once.If you don’t have one of these you got to get it!You will never get lost again.

5 Stars Great GPS
I really like this GPS. It is easy to use and has US and Canadian maps that are useful where I live. Con is that it is bulky to store and hide when not using.
