I bought a Garmin StreetPilot C340 recently and have to say it is simply astounding. It&#8217;s plug and drive &#8212; you plug it into your cigarette lighter, wait a few minutes till it acquires satellites, answer a few set up questions, type an address into a touch-screen keyboard and hit &#8220;go&#8221;. It&#8217;s like having a perfect navigator beside you.<\/p>\n<form mt:asset-id=\"3575\" class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/wp-content\/archiveimages\/archives\/garmin_pilot.jpg\" width=\"175\" height=\"175\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<p>It contains the entire US maps. I have found it accurate (so far) in the most obscure areas with roads and it has shown me faster ways of getting places that I assumed I knew well and have driven to for years. Whenever you make a wrong turn or run into traffic or a closed road, it immediately recalculates the best route and tells you (in a never-critical woman&#8217;s voice!) what to do. It&#8217;s one of those tools that will just keep you saying &#8220;wow&#8221;. It is a life changing, time-saving, stress-reducing tool.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re tried it you will think it&#8217;s cheap for about $650. This is also a tool you will want for people you love.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Vincent Crisci<\/p>\n<p>Garmin StreetPilot C340<br \/>\n$624<br \/>\nAvailable from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bwayphoto.com\/product.asp?item=garspc340&#038;l=Froogle\">Broadway Photo<\/a><br \/>\nAlso from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000A5TAT2\/ref=nosim\/?tag=cooltools-20\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plug-in talking navigator<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"0","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[83],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1033"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1033\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
