Widescreen, clear map, easy to use and the audio instructions are clear, and these not only tell you which way to turn, but also the name of the road you are turning into. Speed camera notifications, the speed limit you are in and the actual speed indications are useful. If you know the route and don't want the audio instructions, you can just go to the MAP and it will show your car on the route and still give speed camera warnings. However, it is not perfect. For instance, it sometimes tells you to turn right but in fact you need to follow the road round the bend (the "straight on" road is actually a left turn). Also, the text which temporarily pops up when the speed camera chimes go off (double ding) is rather small. This text is useful in that it advises whether a fixed or average speed camera is looming, or a mobile camera zone. In this zone, a single ding sounds every few seconds if you are doing exactly the limit (or over). In my view it should not sound at the legal limit. Also, it would be useful to have a Mute "button" on the map screen for cases where you know most of the route but need help near the end. However, despite these minor foibles I am very pleased with the product.

This is the first sat nav I have ever bought, but I spent quite a bit of time reading reviews and talking to friends with sat navs.
I've read some negative reviews about the nuvi 1340, but decided to take the plunge and so far - five days in - I haven't been disappointed.
It is very easy to use. The screen is big and clear, the instructions concise and easy to understand. It updates and recalculates routes, when I have pursposefully gone the wrong way, very quickly. There are other useful functions on there, like the points of interest, and the 'where am i' function would be very useful in an emergency. Safety camera alerts are a Godsend.
I appreciate that different people have different expectations, but I'm quite demanding and wouldn't waste my money on a pile of tosh, so I can recommend this sat nav.

I am very pleased with the nuvi1340. It is a great advance upon my old Navman icn 520. The mapping is clear as are the instructions and I am particularly impressed by the facility to see the speed limit on many roads. This satnav seems to acquire the satellite almost instantly. Initially I was not impressed by the POIs but after I had downloaded the map update ( this takes a very long time!) they are very much improved. I can not comment of course on long term reliability but on what I have seen so far, this satnav is well worth the money. It even fits the Brodit cradle which I bought for for the Navman - an unexpected bonus!

Very clear and bright screen tells you nicely where to go and what is close to you is very easy to update via the internet and has many features sometime's I think too many but its great. Has a micro SD card slot for more maps and I just bought one from here for when I go to my wife's country not that we really need one but would be very nice and handy. This is my first GPS and I am very happy with it and also my first order from Amazon which I am getting to like more the more time I spend looking but cant spend all day shopping :). We dont tend to do many long journeys but with this in your car you are one step ahead of the rest very happy I did not go for tom/tom.

What a little gem! I admit i have only used this about 5 times so far, but i am really impressed with it. A bit of a palaver downloading the map updates etc. - i do feel this would be even more complicated for those who are not very "computer savvy", and i do think Garmin should have better instructions in the box - especially for Mac users like myself. Anyway, once set up it really is easy to use and i feel much more confident setting out into the unknown on the Irish roads! I really didn't expect it to be so simple, although i still occasionally have difficulty pinpointing my destinations by touching the map on the screen. With a little more practice i think i will improve. Spoken directions are very clear, as is the screen. If this is your first satnav, i really do recommend using it on routes you know really well at first, as it gets you used to using it without becoming overly distracted by it. I am more inclined to rely on the voice rather than the screen, which can only be a good thing!
