Expert Review

 

If you're on the lookout for a smaller and simple to use GPS, the Streetpilot i3 would be ideal. More advanced users will be frustrated by the limited control set and slow calculation speeds.

Relatively small, clear audio, speed / red light camera warnings, easy to use

Difficult search functionality, slow to acquire signals, bulky form factor, slow to recalculate routes

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great Price, but accept it's limitations.

 

The inexpensive cost enables everyone to get a GPS unit for their car.

Slow to calculate and recalculate routes (compared to higher priced units).
