Got an email from maplin,

They are offering this great unit for only £199 and I think its free delivery.

Hi my name is Sarah, I am the Internet Co-ordinator for this weeks newsletter. I'd like to bring to your attention this new and exciting product, Garmin StreetPilot i3.

Maplin will be the first UK supplier to stock the SteetPilot i3 GPS and is an amazing price of £199.99 (i3 only).

They do not have all the bells and whistles of TomTom, but it gets you from A to B.

That is what I read on another forum.

I have TomTom on my phone and on PDA, and prefer the mobile phone version as I do not have to have another gadget with me.

Grrr, damn this site and irresistible postings like this.

What a dilemma! I'm desparate for something like this but need to save a bit at the mo. Arrgh! :rolleyes:

Does it have European mapping or is that extra?

Mouth watering bargains aside, this site aint saving me any money!

They don't have touchscreen ASAIK, which is a fairly big part of a decent GPS. It's a good price, however you could get a £200 palm + GPS for the same price...see the other thread above for more details

Can you say which mobile phones have this facility?
