Additional Note from Martin:

I personally have one of these machines (or did until my car was broken into two days ago - and sadly this happened even though i follow point number 9 below) and have found it great - basic but does the job. The following is a lovely summary from iBozz later on in the discussion that I thought may help. Also the I3 has now been seen on sale for £99 at Halfords too. 've had one of these excellent units for several months and have the following comments:

1 It is excellent for the price - I paid £120 at Halfords some little time ago

2 It came with the UK and Eire maps pre-loaded on a tiny card

3 It supports full postcode search although it can be a bit of a nuisance when looking for somewhere (such as many hotels or shops) that do not give a "house" number in their address - or as I found out at the weekend, a remote farmhouse in The Peak District! But if you just enter a house number of 0 itwill get you to roughly the right area.

4 It does, however, allow you to enter an "I am here" location when you have first found one of those places - just press the wheel in for a few seconds and it remebers your location in Favourites. You can then edit the name to whatever you want.

5 It, and other garmin units, are not yet Mac compatible, although they say that they will be by the end of 2006. Experience with VirtualPC (A Windoze emulator) is patchy.

6 Maps are updated every year, usually around February/March. The download is chargeable.

7 Entry of destination dats is by clickwheel - a little fiddly perhaps for a commercail traveller with many stops to make, but perfectly adequate for the "normal" motorist.

8 Rechargeable batteries last around 5 to 6 hours - better to invest in a couple of sets of AA NiMHs rather than by alkalines.

9 Remember to remove both the unit and the windscreen sucker from view when you park. Thieves are attracted by these items and will even break into a car with just the sucker on view as it shows that there could well be a unit in the car.

10 As with all SatNavs it is a slave and not a master. If its instruction sounds odd, take a best guess and it will, if you are wrong, quickly recalculate the route. If it says "turn left" and that way lies a cliff then don't do it! Just make an intelligent guess and it will work out the alternative.

Best of all, of course, is that the Lady speaking to me never loses her temper no matter how many times I ignore her - unlike Her Ladyship in the passenger seat!
