"Excellent GPS ... but be careful during updates." on by gemno
Pros: Excellent GPS. Easy to use and accurate. Nice HELP ME features built-in.
Cons: Install TomTom Home. Connect device. Do backup of device as is out of the box. Delete any unnecessary voices (frees up space). Do updates. Do another backup .. don't overwrite the first backup. Happy GPSing.
Summary: Be careful if you install Tomtom Home and attempt to do updates. First, installed Tomtom Home without connection the 340S to your PC. Then connect your GPS. Before downloading anything including any free map updates make a backup of everything on your GPS via this TomTom Home feature. Next view everything on the device via Home. Most of us in the US won't need anything other than the English voices. Delete the other voices from the device only. This will free up some space on the device. Remember that you've already backed everything up so you can get them back if you need them. Now you can go get your free updated map, POI updates, Quickfix updates, additional POIs, etc. Make an additional backup of the unit with all your completed updates. If this all sounds too complicated for you find your local tech geek or just use the unit out of the box WITHOUT connecting it to your PC.

Best review I've read. Very straight forward & helpful. I just purchased the new 335S for Christmas, which is this unit, but w/out the Mex maps. I hope they didn't skimp on memory because of the lack of those maps. For a company that claims it "listens" to it's customers, you would think they would incorporate an SD slot. I guess they listen, but they don't hear. I'm going to follow your advise when doing my initial setup. Thanks for a nice job!
