Waited until the price dropped to pick up this garmin GPS. Easy to use and came with updated 2008 maps. Friction mount does not stay put on my Tahoe dash but makes it for easy storage with a suction cup ring or dash mount.

I love this product. I like the fact that it tells you the name of the road you are turning on. It is easy to use, very self explanitory.

Frustrating to set up with Mac
rating: 3
The GPS unit itself works great, and is intuitive and easy to use. HOWEVER, it is a horror to set up if you have a Mac! Even though the website claims they now support Mac, they are really useless when it actually comes to it. I initially had to set it up with a borrowed PC (predictably, the software was ridiculously unintuitive; when the so-called mac update, was announced--many months after it was supposed to come out--I ordered my free update CD, having finally figured out how to get it from their unwieldy website. Forget downloading the files or maps directly from the site, even with the various and confusing unlock codes you have to use! The CD arrives in a few weeks: no Mac update on it, no help on the website. You would think that nowadays any big and well known company would in this day and age provide Mac support (not to mention web downloads of additional programs/maps!). Very disappointing.

This is my 3rd GPS.
I owned a Garmin c230, Tom Tom one, Navigon 2100. Each has found a home with other members of the family, not by my choice just Dad is apparently a soft touch. I research purchases to no end for fun and to determine value.
The C340 is an older style and while the form factor is a bit bulky by todays standards, the performance and price is great.
It acquires a signal fast, it's display and volume super, the software is among the best as is the Points of Interest data base.
The Maps are as good as any GPS and there is no way any GPS system can be 100% current.
I decided to use the same approach as I do with laptops, no sense to strive for the newest when you can get great performance from a legacy model.
This unit sold for almost 3 times the price 2 years ago and is still a solid performer.
All GPS devices are a useful tool, the software and POI's on the Garmin is something I have found to be of high value.
