    The Garmin StreetPilot i3 as Martin mentioned in the 1st post is also available instore at Asda for £49.

    I can also confirm this is nationwide, after phoning loads of stores for availability and confirmation of price.
    Eastleigh, Totton, Southampton, Fareham, Gosport have all sold out. Plus I got the last one at Waterlooville.

    This is my first sat nav, which i'll only use occasionally, but seeing as my OH has a 10% discount card it seemed a must buy at £44.10 icon_biggrin.gif

    I also saw the sel which showed the price before as £125.

    I've been having problems at the weekend keeping a satellite signal, so picked one of THESE antenna's for only £9.99 at Maplin instore and it works a dream.
    It does state web only, but they are available instore and you can phone to reserve and collect same day.
    This is the best price i've seen, so you may want to consider this if you're having signal problems.

    Do you guys find that the speed that your tomtom/satnav shows is the same as your speedo in your car?

    I have always thought my car speed is wrong, but for my first ever outing tonight with satnav, my car said 60 and the tomtom was 50 icon_confused.gif

    Sounds a bit dodgy, At least you won't get done by the speed cameras if you keep to your speedo! Most speedo are pretty accurate up to 50 then after that overread by about 5%, i think by law they are not allowed to underread.

    Lots of new icons like santas sleigh, cars, trucks and a tank for your garmin here

    Cars overread a fair bit throughout the speed range.

    I wouldn't like to challenge a speeding conviction based on a sat nav reading though;-)

    Getting from A to B should be simple. The iCN 330 lets you do just that with its easy-to-use GPS features. Once en route, the iCN 330 displays your route on a 3D moving map, in 2D or instruction-by-instruction. What's more, whenever a maneuver is coming up, the progress bar turns red.

    A lightweight portable design and a built-in rechargeable battery allow you to use the new iCN330 in any vehicle, or even outside the car as a handheld device. The iCN 330 provides important data on its high definition, anti-glare colour screen, as well as clear voice directions, allowing you to focus on your driving.

    With the iCN 330 you not only receive advanced distance warning to your next turn, you also have the reassuring Back-On-Track? function returning you to your original course if you make a wrong turn.

    Designed with simplicity in mind, the iCN 330 has a user-friendly interface, is easy to install and ready to drive away straight out of the box.

    The navman 330 is ok but the Garmin NUVI 300 from Asda for £99 is so much better, its in a different league.

    ... and very hard to find. There are none in Greater Manchester, as far as I can tell.

    I've found one at £202 but it's a Nuvi 300T - can someone confirm if the £98 ones are Nuvi 300 or Nuvi 300T. Thank you,
