Great GPS, even up against ~$1000 unit
|
Sadly I didn't get the i3 for myself, but rather for my extremely directionally challenged girlfriend. After scouring the internet for different options I finally found the i3.
When I first got the unit I was surprised with the small size and had no idea how powerful this GPS unit was. Everything on the unit was very easy to use including setup, downloading maps and "navigating" through the menus. I have used a friends ~$1000 Magellan Roadmate on a recent road trip and honestly I did not find the Roadmate that much more useful, rather just a larger screen and no need to download maps (on DVD). The i3 only allows you to download a few states (we got 6) but 99% of my girlfriend's trips are around 5 states, so for most people that shouldn't be an issue.
The screen size was another thing I thought would be an issue but the well designed graphical layout of content allows information to be easily seen and comprehended. The menus are nicely laid out and easy to find adjustments with a lot of customizable features, a lot easier than the Magellan I used.
Some of the negatives include; some of the POI's seem to be a few years old so locations have changed, there has been an address it couldn't find and wouldn't let me map to, and the inability to input locations through your computer and save as destinations on the unit.
Overall this product has surpassed my girlfriend's and I expectations and best of all, I no longer receive the frequent "Honey!.... I'm lost!!!!.." phone calls at work.
