Garmin C340 - A Car Navigator That Is Planned With Simplicity In Mind

Garmin C340 - The Garmin StreetPilot c340 is the ticket if you’re looking for vehicle navigation that’s powerful and simple to utilize. With a text-to-speech voice commands, an easy-to-use touchscreen user interface, a hefty points of interest database, and a superb display that points the way with 2D or 3D animations, the c340 has all the basics addressed.

Although Garmin hasn’t disregard to impart a touch of class, the c340 is planned with simplicity in mind. The only buttons are a rotary volume knob and an on/off switch to hold confusion on the road to a minimum. The gorgeous 3.5-inch-diagonal display features a touchscreen giving it a snap to input routing data and make quick choices on the road. The device is fixed by a suction-mount cradle that secures to the windshield, allowing for easy portability between vehicles. You can even configure the c340’s appearance with optional colored face plates that fit your style. Although the c340 has an internal GPS antenna, it also has an MCX-type connector for connecting up an optional external GPS antenna.

Finding your way with the c340 begins with inputting a location on the touch screen. Next, the device’ text-to-speech characteristic talks to you just like a back seat driver stating you the names of streets and when to turn and in what direction. And if by chance you miss a turn — don’t worry, the c340 automatically computes a new route to your destination. Audible and visual navigation commands and warnings help you navigate more quickly while keeping your eyes on the road. You can also select between a 3D mapping perspective or 2D overhead view. Garmin really charges the power of the c340 up a notch with the addition of real-time traffic data. This optional service will display congested places on a color-coded map allowing you to avoid traffic by just pushing a button that computes a new route. All this wizardry is made possible by the new Garmin GTM 10 receiver that ties to the c340 and other Garmin products. Notice that the GTM 10 receives digital information from specific FM broadcast stations in select major metro areas all over the U.S. and Europe and that these traffic services are available only in select cities where coverage exists.

Another “time and frustration saving” characteristic of the c340 is the database of preloaded maps and points of interest. Gone are the days of transferring partial maps from your PC to your GPS device, the c340 has them all built in. The device comes preloaded with Garmin’s extremely elaborate City Select NT street data of the entire U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Finding points of interest along your route is made easy with the c340’s sizable inbuilt database of almost 6 million hotels, eateries, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin has also made it easy for users to load custom POIs — right away you can add school zones or safety cameras to your database.
