• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Its been mentioned a few times here and there, but wanted to get some input on this. I'm looking to buy a toy, not only for chasing, but traveling in general. I know one of the drawbacks mentioned with this is the lack of great navigation. Seeing as I enjoy and do quite well in navigation and route planning, its not something huge to me. More than anything, I want a unit that'll show me where I am and where I am going. I've read a few reviews and see it on Buy.com for $319. Anyone on here use it? For the price, it sure seems like a slam dunk!
 
Can't comment on that specifc model but I will say I am happy with the Garmin Street Pilot I have.
Good support, websites, updates, etc.

I bought my girlfriend a c340 as a graduation present and she loves it. I bought it for her so I would feel better about her job. With her being a CPS caseworker her job requires her to navigate some of the less desirable areas of Lubbock. Honestly, I think it has only pointed her in the wrong direction once and that was in the cluster *uck of AMA's one way street maze. I went with the higher model just for the feature of text to speech, this nice luxury allows it to talk to her not just with directions but actually say the street names.........that being said its always funny seeing how it pronounces some of these West Texas "down home" names!! If I was buying it for myself I would go with the lesser model just because I am more map savvy and don't need it to tell me street names. But would I suggest someone to buy it? Forsure. I just got a Garmin GPSMAP 60csx with the road navigation kit and I plan on using that as primary this spring so other programs can be in the forefront on the laptop.

Here is where I bought it, great service from them: http://www.gpsnow.com/gmspc340.htm#info

Hope this helps.

I have one for myself and my wife. It works great except in newer developed areas where the streets haven't been updated. I use it when chasing, when I travel, etc. Very easy to use and very accurate for arrival times, directions, and it has some cool features (find gas stations, hotels, food, etc). Let me know if you get it and if you ended up liking it!
