Great 'Sat Nav' Hunt (merged)

I think you will find that it is the traffic module for the ICN550 so it not much use at £170, as usual Currys have messed up. May worth a look instore just incase!

The I3 is now £179.00 at Staples if their advert in todays papers is to be believed.

They are also offering the NavMan 320 for a new low price of £199 also.

These offers are not yet on the website

THE GARMIN IS NO £169.99 AT ARGOS!

for the extra fiver i'd get the Navman ICN320 at £174.99 because it's got GPS.

I think they both have GPS! but i think the Garmin i3 you can download a Speed Camera database so i think that would be the better of the two. But if anyone knows better?... please advise
I've been thinking of these two and would also like to know which one to buy.
thanks

Please note that ARGOS do not list the I3 under Garmin. If you need to search use I3 as the search code !

I think the Garmin is much better than the navman because you can add Points of interest (POI) which include speed cameras, with the Navman you can't. Heres the links to compare the Navman and Garmin i3.

There are a couple of differences from the Garmin website page, you get UK mapping and a 256mb memory card.

I've had the garmin for a few weeks and from what i can gather does everything the TomTom 300 does for halve the price:
2D/3D mapping
Full postcode search
Can be updated from the Garmin website
Route planning can be adjusted to avoid motorways/small roads etc.
Day/night mode
Uses AA batteries, so easy to change if running low or use car mains lead.
