 "Excellent Purchase" 2009-09-14
By B. T. Corneto
I bought this Garmin as a surprise for my oldest daughter. I already own a c340, and enjoy it immensely; She has a reputation for getting lost in heavy traffic, and has been quietly coveting MY GPS for 2 years.



All reports from her end are glowing - she no longer gets lost driving from Northern California to Central California, rarely misses an offramp or fuel stop, and has one less thing to worry about on long trips to unfamiliar areas.

 "Worked great until screen died" 2009-07-17
By P. Trevithick (Sterling, VA)
This unit arrived quickly and worked great until the screen started to die. I have only had this unit four months but now the screen goes black several times even on only a 30 minute trip.

 "Don't Trust Garmin" 2009-06-13
By Kenneth J. Pennington (Washington, DC)
The current price for the C340 is great --- I paid $800 in Jan. 2006. However, buyers beware: Garmin no longer supports this GPS. I wanted to up-date the maps (June 2009). Customer service told me that 1. I had to buy an up-date made for their new line of GPS for $120 (check the current price of the unit) and 2. the up-date would not fit into the memory of the C340. Garmin no longer provided up-dated maps for the Street Pilot. Customer service cheerfully informed me that the solution would be to buy several SD memory cards to which sectional maps of the USA could be downloaded. As I drove from place to place I could insert a new card into the unit. Aside from the inconvenience and awkwardness of carrying a half dozen cards around, their "solution" (I don't think their engineers went to MIT) means that you cannot plot a trip from Washington, DC to Chicago or anywhere else outside the region where you live. I will never buy another Garmin for my car or for my boat. Like Detroit, Garmin has forgotten an important fact: they have competitors and brand loyalty disappears when the customer is stiffed.

By Barry R. Bailey
the order was at the right price and delivered on time. Garmen works a lot faster than my previous garmin and is well worth the $

 "Excellent" 2009-05-11
By S. Everhart (Colorado, USA)
I'd been around my friend's Garmin's before so had a very good idea of what I was purchasing. After having used this GPS for a few road trips and around my local town, its proved to be an extremely valuable tool. From getting you from A to B and finding you food, hotels, etc on the fly, it's certainly worth the money.

By G. vollmers (N.Y)
GARMIN C 580 STREET PILOT-



THE MSN SUBSCRIPTION IS AWFUL- DO NOT DO 1 YR FREE TRAIL THAT IT COMES WITH!! IT CONSTANTLY TRIES TO UPDATE SOFTWARE BUT NEVER DOES AND THE MSN UPDATING SCREEN BLOCKS OUT THE WHOLE VIEW OF THE SCREEN SO YOUR LEFT WITH VOICE ONLY!! I LIVE IN WESTERN LONG ISLAND NY WHERE THE COVERAGE AREA SUPPOSED TO BE GREAT- WHAT A JOKE. THE UNIT ITSELF IS OK BUT SHOP AROUND THERE HAS TO BE BETTER..

 "Poor Customer Service makes Garmin a no-no" 2009-05-05
By Nirvana Boy (VA, USA)
The c580 is an adequate product in terms of GPS capabilities but suffers from the following problems:



(MAJOR Issue)

1) Poor Customer Support (Read - if its breaks - you're on your own)

The suction mount on my GPS stopped working (GPS would fall off) and I promptly called the number given on the manual to get it replaced under warranty. The lady who picked up the phone initially asked me what the problem was and said "ahem...let em transfer you to the auto dept". The auto dept had a pre-recorded message that said "All agents are missing. Pls accept to wait at least *30* minutes" - which is ridiculous. My call was never picked up and I eventually gave up. Needless to say - I'll never buy Garmin again.





Other problems (minor)

2) Bulky Design: This is a older generation of GPS. Look for other families (i.e. not c500 series) if you would like a sleek/lightweight device.

3)Slow Startup: Often takes > 1 minute. During cloudy days - can take longer.

 "Big disappointment" 2009-03-25
By Ozgard (Freehold, New Jersey USA)
First off this is my 3rd Garmin GPS. I purchased a C340 for myself and my girlfriend and then after reading some of the positive reviews for the C580 I decided to purchase it and give my C340 to my daughter. What a mistake that was. I can't really knock the unit while it works. But after 6 months of usage my original unit decided to die. I tried to power it on and it was just dead. Now comes the part that I dreaded and that was to contact the Garmin support. I called around 4pm one day and was given an estimated wait time of 30 minutes which turned out to be 60+. Ok so not everyone can estimate. I got a guy who obviously was having a bad day and proceeded to describe my problem. I was then asked to do several tasks that I had already tried a number of times. With the same result. He then gave me a RMA and asked me to return my "new" unit for repair. I received the replacement "Factory Refurbished" unit about a week after and wasn't too keen on it being a refurb but gave it a chance. The GPS worked fine but when I tried to get the bluetooth function working it would display "Enabling Bluetooth" then die. I would then have to power down the unit to get out of the screen. I called the Garmin support line again and waited about 40 minutes for a tech. He then asked for my email and sent me a few things to try and ways to reset the device. I downloaded several versions of the software for bluetooth and all of them failed. A version of the bluetooth firmware actually caused the unit to digress even further. I contacted Support again and he gave me a RMA and asked me to send the unit back....again.

I got another "Factory Refurbished" unit sent to me about a week and a half later. This time it was dead out of the box. I actually started laughing. The Garmin product support was worse than anything I had ever dealt with and that goes for Microsoft or even Verizon cause when you get those clowns they actually help you. It took me close to an hour to get another real person on the phone. This time Katy was the rep. I explained all that had happened and that I was ready to take all of my Garmin products and run them over with my truck(I also have a handheld Garmin Etrex Vista). She asked me to do another reset of the unit and when nothing happened she told me to hold on and talked to her supervisor. When she go back on she asked me to send the unit back to Garmin and that they were going to send me a "New" Garmin Nuvi 780 as a replacement for the C580 and for my going through hell over the past 6 weeks. Its 3/25/09 and I have to send back the unit, which they're paying for this time, by the way. I also have to have them transfer a "Lifetime Map" Update License I purchased for the C580. That should be fun ya think? I'll keep you posted.

 "just cool" 2009-03-18
By Sekhar Kari (USA)
Absolutely love this! Its not that fancy sleek,in-pocket,cycle riders GPS..but its more than that in every sense. Agreed its bulky, but it's the best at the basic features a GPS should have. I love the bluetooth feature, and able to make calls to any destination,hotel,movie theater with the little 'call' button that picks up your bluetooth and makes calls as if its an i-phone. I love it !!

 "Works like a charm!" 2006-03-14
By Gulliver (Illinois)
We recently took a driving trip from Chicago to Key West making numerous stops in between, including metro Atlanta. I was able to load a significant number of maps onto the memory cartridge, covering almost all of the locations we traveled between Illinois and Florida. We were able to accurately navigate all of the major cities we visited which included Orlando, Daytona, Miami, Naples and Tampa, and never felt lost. More importantly, I never had to reload additional maps after the intital download which did take some time. However, whatever time it took to put the maps onto the cartridge in the first place was certainly made up for by the convenience of having them ALL there when we needed them!

Highly recommended for those looking for an A/C charger.

 "Great Replacement!" 2009-07-09
By Margaret M. Verlangieri
We had another model (not Garmin)GPS that drove us crazy. Always taking us on the wierdest ways to our destination and constantly "re-calculating" so we decided to give this "re-furbished" Garmin a try since the price was right and Garmin has such a good reputation. We took it to North Carolina and it was awesome compared to our other GPS - very clear and concise directions. The only negative features are that it could give you a little more time to make your turns and it takes too long to re-caluculate when you do make a wrong turn. Other than that, we would highly recommend it.

I received the charger quickly and in excellent condition. I purchased it to charge up my C340 and it works very well for me. Just plugged it in and in a matter of a couple hours my c340 was up and ready to go. I did not need to recharge for another 10-12 hours. I like the idea of not having a cord dangling from the dashboard. No complaints here.

 "Careless misrepresentation" 2009-01-04
By William Haning (Honolulu, HI United States)
As with at least one other reviewer, found this to be incompatible with a C-series Garmin: c530. Now need to get refund, return, on a $20 item, as a consequence of a marketing hotshot's inattention to specifications.

 "Disappointing & Overpriced" 2009-05-21
By DUKELETO (Boston, MA USA)
I was expecting something better from Garmin for my $20. I'd rather have bought a small-sized camera bag (i.e. Mountainsmith Focus II) that would hold and protect my Nuvi 760 and then some.

 "Great GPS bag" 2009-05-11
By business person (New Jersey, USA)
Do you ever wonder how to ensure all the GPS materials are in one place when you change cars - or what to do with it all, when a parking attendent takes the car away. This bag is the answer. Fits all the stuff, GPS, cables and holder for my 4.3" Garmin - it even has 2 extra pockets to hold a small flashlight, a multi-tool and EZ pass transponder.

I call it my "man bag" when traveling. Everything in one place. Perfect.

 "Had to buy one" 2009-09-08
By Leonard E. Griffin (Cleveland, GA)
The reason I bought a dash mount was because the suction mount kept falling and after the third fall it broke and was impossible to use the mounting bracket again. I cleaned the windshield and suction pad but it kept falling. I am hoping the friction dash mount works better. I really miss my GPS.

 "Bad for 2002 Honda Accord" 2009-08-25
By M. Gorin (Staten Island, NY USA)
This product did not work as described on my 2002 Honda Accord's dashboard. The unit would move every time I hit a bump or made a sharp turn and it came very close to falling off my dash. After a few blocks I removed it before I got into an accident by trying to catch it if it fell. I assume this product works well with some cars based on all the other positive reviews but I can guarantee this mount is not the right choice for a 2002 Honda Accord.

 "A very "Dashing" mount" 2009-08-22
By Jet Tyler (Picayune, MS USA)
We purchased this with a little apprehension, not knowing if its unique design would really work, but, thankfully, the mount works very well. It makes it very easy to position the StreetPilot conveniently, and securely, on the dashboard, or in any other location that is desired. Also, the design enables the driver to quickly relocate it, if necessary, without the fear of compromising driving ability. Thanks for a good product. My money was well spent.

Designed for larger vehicles such as RVs, semi-trucks, and buses, it is a premium automotive unit that comes preloaded with City Navigator NT detailed maps of North America. With the purchase of an optional sensor (not included), the unit notifies the driver of accidents, road construction and weather-related traffic delays before they are encountered (requires subscription, traffic service only for select cities where coverage exists). Either of two optional purchase sensors can provide these features, the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic sensor or the GXM 30 Smart Antenna (separate purchase required). In addition to traffic data, the GXM 30 provides real-time satellite weather information. The 7200 model features all of Garmin's well-known GPS functions, including intuitive navigation and automatic route calculation; voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions; 2D or 3D map view; and automatic rerouting if a motorist strays off course. With its POI Loader software, users can load custom points-of-interest such as school zones or safety cameras. The StreetPilot 7200 also includes entertainment options, including an internal MP3 player, XM radio, and playback of audio books. The built-in MP3 player lets users browse music by artist, album, song, or genre. The XM Radio (with the optional GXM 30 Smart Antenna and XM Satellite Radio subscription - not included) features 150-plus channels of commercial-free entertainment. The StreetPilot 7200 is also compatible, a subscription-based audio book service. The face of the StreetPilot 7200 only has one button, an on/off switch. Using simplicity to manage complexity is a hallmark of the quality from Garmin, the premier maker of GPS products.

 "One Great "Tool"" 2009-09-04
By Gary G. Youngstrom (Winlock. Wa. USA)
I've had the 7200 street pilot for over 3 yrs. and use it for my deliveries in Seattle Washington. It has never failed me, and I've never even read the manual. It may not show you all the street names on the screen but it sure does speak the street name about 700' before you have to turn, plus the name is in large print above the screen. At todays price it's a no brained!!

 "GPS With A View" 2009-08-22
By Paul Thorn (Egg Harbor City, NJ USA)
This is an excellent Garmin GPS! At last a screen size that is easy to see and read. It might not be for everyone, because of it's large size and weight. I use a suction cup mount[...], very heavy duty, and it holds the 7200 up with ease. I highly recommend buying the suction cup mount so you don't have to "stick the GPS to your dash". I love the mp3 player built in, it holds about 150 mp3s. Having already owned a Garmin Streetpilot C340 and a Nuvi 255W, the 7200 works in a similar way. The remote is great once you get used to it. Only thing that might bother some people is that being a large screen, it's not as sharp as it's smaller brother the Nuvi 255W, however it it still very clear and bright. Prices are great on this 7200 gps from Garmin as it it now a discontinued model.

 "This is a great unit I give it five stars" 2009-08-16
By Tom Graham
I've owned two other Garmin units prior to buying this one. I got it a few days prior to leaving on a 6,500 mile 14 state vacation. It worked very good, the only thing I don't like about Garmin is their map provider still has not corrected a lot of errors across the country. If this was done, then the ubit would be perfect. I love the large screen, makes it easier to see.



I drove truck for five years using the Garmin products, never once used a map, though I carried one. As with any brand, you have to know their limitations and not allow the unit to lead you into a bad area.

 "My opinion so far" 2009-08-03
By Ben Dixon (Grants Pass, OR)
I own a towing business and have used a Garmin GPS since day one. I can't tell you how many times it has saved me from getting lost. I sometimes joke around with people and say "if I would have had a gps back when I was married, I might still be married". I am one of those people who have no sense of direction and having a GPS is a must have item. My old 2610 finally died on me and I knew just what model I wanted to purchase. I had been reading about a model that had a 7 inch screen and I knew it would help me in my day to day needs. The #7200 is excellent to have in my line of work. I believe it was built with truckers and folks with motor homes as the target buyers and I highly urge you to consider this model. Especially if your a little older then you used to be and the ole peepers ain't what they used to be it really is nice to be able to glance down and see the large scale images it has. No complaints that I can think of and I can't believe how little I paid for this model compared to what the old one cost. Happy motoring.

The StreetPilot c340 provides in-car navigation that is simple for anyone to use directly out of the box. After selecting a destination from the user-friendly touch screen interface, Garmins text-to-speech feature tells users the name of the street, when to turn, and in what direction. If you miss your turn, the c340 automatically calculates a new route to the destination. Notification of traffic delays is a c340 option that lets drivers see congested areas via a color-coded map. This feature lets users avoid traffic by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route. This traffic awareness is made possible via the new Garmin GTM 10 FM TMC receiver that connects to selected Garmin street navigation products. The GTM 10 receives digital data from specific FM broadcast stations in select major metro areas throughout the United States and Europe.

 "Best GPS I've ever used" 2009-08-06
By Rexomus (Chicago)
This unit is awesome. I purchased this about a year ago and it has never let me down. It's built tough and has stood up well to being left in the car under the Florida sun. It does come pre-loaded with the all 50 US states and European maps but is does need to be updated once in a while if there has been a lot of road construction in your area, However Garmin makes it a snap to do on line.

I purchased this product after talking to a several people who have owned different brands of GPS and reading customer reviews. Every single person said that they wished that they had got the Garmin, or were very satisfied with the purchase of one. I second every positive review and compliment of this product. I wouldn't even look at other GPS devices. Garmin hit one out of the park with this product and that's why it's still on the market after almost five years, you can't compete with perfection. I recommend this to any one who likes to make a one time purchase regardless of the price. Buy it, you wont regret it.

 "Older Model Still Best Model" 2009-07-09
By M. Mcsweeney (Waterbury, CT)
I originally purchased this Model Garmin Street Pilot in 2006 from Amazon. At the time the purchase price was over $350.00. Unfortunately it was stolen out of our vehicle a few weeks before I sought to replace it, again, on Amazon. This model now went for a much better price of under $200.00. With all the very expensive navigation systems out there this model is by far the best value for the price. It gives turn by turn instructions. It stores locations for you and travels well in a soft pouch carrying case when not being used in your vehicle. I strongly suggest from experience not to leave it in the vehicle when not in use!! The only draw back I noticed was unless I haven't discovered it yet there doesn't seem to be a way to back up your locations on your computer in the event that it is stolen or misplaced. Overall I was pleased with this purchase.

 "Buyer Beware" 2009-06-27
By R. Brown
I received this item as a gift during the last holiday season. I was quite disappointed as it costs 3x some of the newer models and had a map pack from 2007 on there. I expected them to update the product upon registering it but NOOOOO.



I emailed Garmin and was told to take a hike that if I wanted the latest maps then I would have to buy the latest. This was after finding out that the gift giver paid almost $300.00 for the item in December 2008. Even now when I write the review the product is still being sold for two hundred and is old and out of date.



Buyer beware as you can do much better buying the newer versions that have more up to date maps and additional features!



NEW SECTION - (8/2009)

I am adding this section after having repeated incidents with my GPS unit over the past months. It has done everything from sent me on a 25 mile detour to get on a highway that was right next to us, to bringing us to businesses that are not there. For example, on multiple occasions we have put in Subway in different parts of New England only to arrive and find out that Subway is not there and either was never there, or they moved 11 years ago. Ummmmm....



At this point I really regret purchasing Garmin GPS devices as we purchased 3 of them over the last holiday season. The map packs are a rip-off and are only updated once/year so by the time you get them installed there could be things that have come and gone. I don't expect instant updates but I do expect that if something is gone for over a year then it would not be showing up on my GPS. Why not have a monthly update and charge $5/month instead of charging people the same in one big chunk once/year and having everything be way behind?



Word to wise with these - DO NOT use the GPS to get you someplace you already know how to find. Chances are you will do a much better job than these this could ever dream of!



Word to the wise pt II - this DOES NOT distinguish at all (even though the settings are programmed for it) between roads that go right through a city and have 25mph speed limits with 85 stop lights, and 250 crosswalks versus a highway that can travel at 65mph.



What a nightmare. Right now I'm back to printing directions out of Google Maps when I want to go somewhere and find the best and the fastest route. I'm hoping Google releases a GPS device in the near future or starts selling their mapping to GPS manufacturers!

I am very happy with my factory refurbished Garmin GPS. Customer service is outstanding. It is extremely easy to program. I have not had it very long so I gave it 4 stars. If it continues at this level of all around satisfaction I will give it 5 stars.

The Garmin Streetpilot 340c will take to the location you enter with ease. Try the different voices as they seem to give you variation in timing to upcoming turns and amount that they say. If all you want is a GPS for going from point A to point B this is the unit. Buy one....
