I have been dealing with Amazon for quite some time. I have always been pleased with the service. However, I recently purchased a Garmin Street Pilot from Amazon (through ANTonline). I received it defective and cannot get anyone to tell me how I can return it. I am rethinking using Amazon for future purchases!!!!!

I was hesitant to buy the new c340 (next up from c330). The street names it announces is a major plus, but……. it didn’t work out of the box, took six hours to find a satellite signal — in Los Angeles. Definitely a buggy unit. Then when it did work, it would tell me to turn right or left at a street, just as or after I passed it! It also wouldn’t let me drive the route I want to drive. If I’m on side streets, it tries to get me on the freeway — when I went on the freeway, it wanted me to exit at every exit! There is an option for Fastest or Shortest route, so that wasn’t the problem. Same thing with Detour. I’m sure it’s just a buggy one, there seems to be a lot of them out there — otherwise Garmin would be out of business and there would be a lot of unhappy drivers.

After did a lot of research, I bought a Garmin Streetpilot C340 from here at amazon. but when I was downloading the updates from Garmin website, the c340 was dead, it said that “system software missing”, I have to return it back to amazon.

I bought this product. It worked great right out of the box…for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the screen went dark and fuzzy and nothing I could do would bring it back. I called Garmin’s tech support. They walked me through a quick reset to no avail. Then the technician said “maybe the battery will charge better through the USB adapter”. Didn’t sound right, but I tried it. Didn’t help. I am currently in the process of returning this paperweight to Amazon.

It was very easy to set up and take a picture, which came out fine. Having a problem trying to figure out how to compress the picture. When I attached the pic to an e-mail, it was 1m and took a long time to load, and difficult to view. I’m also still having a problem on how to attach the neckstrap provided. Still trying to solve these problems.
