I need a GPS for my van so I don't have to lug around all these state atlases and maps printed off my computer for offroad gold hunting trips.
I can get a Garmin C340 for $199 altho I hear it is discontinued now.I want that Voice to spoken street names feature and a large screen and good lock on ability in creek valleys and under trees plus something that can help me find my way around on dirt ,sometimes unmarked, backroads. I can't afford more than about $350. The Garnin Nuvi 350 looks like a possibility .I will have to admit, the Bluetooth phone feature would be cool to have plus the ability to TELL the GPS to take me HOME versus having to punch buttons when I am tired from gold digging. I have 3 Garmin handhelds units already in case you think I am biased towards any one brand but I am open to others? Reliability, ease of use, and the Voice to Speech for spoken street names are my main considerations.
Thanks.
