 Description
Beat the Traffic Before it Beats You
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, Garmin’s 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.
Garmin has also added the ability for
customers to augment the preloaded maps with custom POI’s from
industry-standard CSV files, such as school zones and safety cameras. In
addition, a proximity alert feature is included to optionally notify the
driver of upcoming custom POI’s. The StreetPilot c340 comes preloaded with
highly detailed City Select® NT street data of the entire United States,
Canada, and Puerto Rico. The database features nearly six million points of
interest—including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions.
The StreetPilot c340 joins Garmin’s growing
line of automotive GPS navigators. It has a bright, 3.5-inch diagonal, TFT
display with touchscreen; dual integrated speakers for high-quality voice
prompts; and an internal lithium-ion battery for out-of-car route planning.
The StreetPilot c-series boasts distinctive
and sleek styling—the units’ only buttons are a rotary volume knob and an
on/off switch. The device is secured by a suction-mount cradle that fastens
to the windshield, for easy portability between vehicles. Users can
customize their unit’s appearance with an array of colored faceplates (sold
separately).
Traffic services available only in select cities where RDS-TMC coverage
exists. Requires the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver and possible
subscription to enable traffic capability.
