Garmin Streetpilot i3 £164.99

Hi

Does the Argos Sat Nav at £159.99 have the voice on it to tell you the directions?

Actually do all the ones recommended on this post have the voice on it?

I'm useless at looking at the map whilst driving. :eek:

Yes, the i3 has good voice navigation.

The Garmin i3 has everything you need. If you want a satnav with a 'touchscreen' go for the TomTom 'one' from Argos for £224.

does this (gamin i3) give indications of cameras etc?

Also are the updates for software free?

is the tomtom one significantly better than the garmin i3? Both have postcode search facility dont they?

Hi I`v been using the garmin i3 for about 2 months now and used it all around england.
Its the best thing since sliced bread. Ipaid a lot more then You can get it for now grab a bargain You won`t be disappointed. And reply to the above question it does give voice directions but sorry to say its american. Though at least it is a female voice to keep You company on them long lonely drives.

in the settings the voice can be changed to british english, but it's more wooden than the american

It has France and Belgium - although I didn't know it when I bought it. I've had mine for about 2 months now and paid £189. At this price it's a right bargain. You can download the speed cameras for free from pocketgps.co.uk. There's been loads posted on the great sat nav hunt thread.

For the price, the Garmin i3 is excellent value for money. I use it daily and have no problems with it. The prices of Sat Navs are coming down, so it depends how much you have to spend.
