In this case, the extra pennies required would be 6,000 :rolleyes:

Have you used a Garmin i3??? I'd check the facts well before making such bold statements as the i3 is still the best SatNav at this price level.

A touch screen is neither here nor there if you have poor maps, inaccurate routing, unreliable software and inability to install speedcam or POIs database.

"the i3 is still the best SatNav at this price level." is a pretty bold statement in itself I think.

Have you used the Navsure? I'd guess not or you'd be aware the maps and routing are top notch. I've also had no problems installing POI's or Speedcams on my Mio, which runs the same software.

The routing and directions are better than TomTom (which I've also used extensively). TomTom only beats it in my view by having a slightly faster interface, which is only relevant while you're getting your route ready. Once you're driving Navigon / MioMap is a lot better.

All this and the touch screen which makes navigating the interface much faster than the i3's scroll wheel all adds up to a winner from me.

Mines better than yours - nere nere nere !!!

I've got an i3 and ICN530 and owned a Mio. The i3 is certainly the most reliable and easiest to use out of the 3, although can take time to lock on when switched on. The Navman is good and has better features, but is prone to system errors. The mio was OK but again prone to lock-ups. In my view, the best one is the one YOU like.

I'd tell you how to get TomTom 6 Sat Nav on a FREE PDA spv m600 and a mobile contract for £11/month for 6 mionths and £22/ month for 6 months with 120 inclusive mins/month & free insurance for a year.

Thats £200 over a year......but you get a mobile contract direct from orange NO CASHBACKS either and free insurance and 0800's 0500's and itemised bills
All you have to do is buy a Bluetooth gps to go with it!

But nobody seems to want to know how, as I ve posted before!

I'll bite, this sounds great! Let us know how it's done...

Definetly check it'll work in your car beforehand if poss. I got a Navman 620 earlier this year which works in my wife's peugeot 206 but not my 406. I bought an external aerial which didn't work either until I put it under the sunroof but with the trailing lead was just not practical!

Still, my wife's chuffed.

remember... you can buy the navman icn330 at Halfords and get 4% back through quidco, up to 6% for PC world (3% collect at store), 3.5% at currys (1.75% collect at store)

Thats why you should've got a Bluetooth gps unit.
