Instructions

    • 1

      Take your Garmin StreetPilot c340 outside to an area that is unobstructed by trees and tall buildings. This will help get a satellite signal faster. If that doesn't work, move the device about a block away. Some areas just have poor satellite reception in general.

    • 2

      Clean the area of your windshield where you mount the Garmin StreetPilot c340 and dry it thoroughly. This will allow the suction cup to be mounted more securely inside your vehicle.

    • 3

      Turn your Garmin StreetPilot c340 off if your screen freezes or if the device is not responding when you touch the screen. Wait a few seconds and then turn it back on again.

    • 4

      Reset your Garmin StreetPilot c340 if turning it off and on does not fix the screen problems. To reset the device, remove the face plate by pulling it up from the bottom and push the reset button that is uncovered.

    • 5

      Keep your Garmin StreetPilot c340 out of temperature extremes, such as temperatures well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and those below freezing. These temperature extremes can affect the performance of the device.

    • 6

      Charge your Garmin StreetPilot c340 by placing the power cord into your vehicle's power supply and turning on the engine. If the device is not charged, the performance can be affected.
