Do Staples do a price promise where they give you 10% back too? Or is that Comet?

Thats a good price at Staples, I bought mine from there about a month ago, it was £170 then and I got a price match with Somerfields and 10% difference and paid £92.99, only downside though is that Staples seem to sell the version 7 maps while Somerfields are version 8.

Does anyone know if all Staples shops are selling the Garmin I3 for £99 ?
Couldnt find anything on their website !

I did the same, got the i3 for £92.99 but mine came with v8 maps.... Luck of the draw I guess?

Would suggest anyone considering buying one from Staples checks the box they are given as it indicates the version of maps on the outside of the box IIRC.

I'd like this info too - it does make you slow down though ! - basically I'd like to know if it's possible to edit the warning file so that it gives the repeat bongs at say 33 mph rather than 30.

I have a junction near me with a total of 4 cameras in close proximity - the poor thing goes mad - regardless of which road you're on.

You need to connect to Your pc,then reload POI,s whilst You are connected You can edit the speed settings ie for a 30 mph put in 31 mph and so on to 70 mph.

It means you are going too fast & is is doing its job

Bob1000 · 19 February 2006 at 9:08PM

yes 996ducati it certainly is and it is brilliant.

however, it bongs regadless of what speed i do (usually less thanthe cam) and also it bongs early. There is a way to set it so it does not bong for so long but when you are closer to them.
But how?
