not sure but i think iv seen one for sale here round about this price, so whoever is selling it needs to drop the asking price imo!

hope some1 finds this useful

dont buy this one mate goto tesco there selling the icn 510 for bout £190 looks alot better and if you buy an antenna (cos signal is poor overwise) of ebay for bout 20 quid it's just as good as a tomtom i had that one took it back and bought the 510 loads better

 

[The Hoff]

Just goto Somerfield, currently selling the Garmin i3 @ £99. Has 3D mapping and speed camera database support - unlike the crappy unit above.

my mate is selling a nokia 6600 with tom tom on it an it comes with a bluetooth gps

i have had both and the navman dont even come close to the tomtom one,my navman ended up on ebay after 5 months crap signal and crap maps

the garmin one for 99 quid is a steal tho

 

[M1TCH]

Fantastic unit. Highly reccomend it. As good as my brothers tomtom 300. Just doesn't have touch screen, but the wheel is as good if not better, especially when entering postcodes. I have added loads of points of interest such as BP garages, argos's, B&Q's, and best of all speed cameras. Really easy to install these to and put alerts on, all done using the PC. Maps on it are really new as well. Go out and get yourself one ASAP!!!! Worth every penny.

Comes with suction cup, car power lead, USB lead, and CD rom.

Anything else you wanna know about it just ask.

Cheers Alex, thats really helpfull, think I'll pop down somers after dinner and nab myself one!! hopes they got some in... Do you have to pay for any road updates?

I'm not sure about the updates, i'd say probably yes. But I've flashed mine with the latest software which was really easy, and it seems they are keeping regular software dates coming out. Give somerfield a call and see if they've got one, I got them to put one behing the desk for me to make sure it was still there when i got there!

 

[BRUN]

we sell i3's at work and they are great little units, everyone looks at it and just says no i dont want that its tiny, but once they see how easy it is to use, and how clear the screen is, they usually buy one

 

[M1TCH]

Nooooo!! the one in my town hasn't got any, just phoned sudbury and braintree branch and they have none. Phone chelmsford and they she said they have 6 for £129.99 so then I said they should be £99.99 and she said come in tomorrow because she wasnt certain. So looks like I'll be taking a trip over there in the morn, need to go to maplin anyways.

 

[richard691]

So are they still on sale for £99.99 and do they pick up the signal well with the heat reflective windscreen?

 

[chris'172]

I just got the i3, havent had the chance to play with it yet, £99 from somerfields. So if i goto the garmin website, will it download all the cameras in the u.k. automatically?

 

[Alan]

A UK road atlas....

If you go to the garmin website that will only update your software, worth doing. Follow the 2nd post on another forum... Garmin post

And have a look at post that may help you here too... Garmin Forum

Any more help you need, or any questions feel free to ask.

 

[M1TCH]

noooooo!! just phoned another 2 somerfields and theyve all gone

If anyone can get hold of one for me and bring it to that pod that would be much appreciated, possibly the chingford branch might have them.....

 

[theduck]

Do what i did, get an O2 XDAIIi for £50 from O2, rip off a copy of tomtom 3, buy a car cradle with gps reciever, around £80, download Camera POI and hey presto, tomtom3 for £130

 

[M1TCH]

they are huge though.

 

[miketheman2k]

Just bought an i3 from Somerfields in Aylesbury - and they have 2 left

 

[M1TCH]

[miketheman2k]
