The Garmin c340 leads the portable, affordable c300 series with text-to-speech capability and optional traffic alerts. It comes with preloaded maps, and its intuitive touch screen operation and big displays make it easy to use. The c340 retails for $199.95.

What people are saying

“Text to speech reads street names & exits thus making this device one of the best on the market. Lighter than TomTom. Tells you the actual address and phone number of searches.”

“Unit synthesizes street names, easy to use when driving, uses City Navigator NT 7 rather than City Select, more compact than 2610/2720.”

“…very easy to use the first time.”

“I am greatly impressed with this unit. It was fast to get going right out of the box and after the initial satellite acquisition and almanac download. In any case, after the initial automatic recalibration, the unit acquired satellites quickly whenever I turned it on.”

“It definitely gets you from a to b with minimal effort. For those with big hands navigating the screen can get tricky at times. The screen tends to wash out in bright light which isn’t a problem in later models and the colors distort when wearing polarized sunglasses.”
