Desription ......... When Garmin introduces the i-series of GPS Navigation devices, they rocked the GPS Universe with a line of GPS car kits featuring stellar performance and convenience at a price that the other players in the game couldn’t beat. Though it’s no larger than a baseball, the i3 outperforms larger GPS Navigation portables and car kits, with features like turn by turn voice prompts and audio and visual navigation prompts, an easy to use “click to enter” scroll button, USB loadable maps, customized points of interest (POI’s) and a sunlight-readable TFT screen. Accuracy better than 15 meters is due to the StreetPilot i3’s superior receiver that constantly polls for satellite data, while the 500 waypoint storage makes the i3 more than adequate for a variety of GPS Navigation tasks. The WASS-enabled StreetPilot i3 features a Mini SD card slot (it ships with a 128 MB TransFlash card for loading of maps), and a 12-parallel channel GPS patch antenna with an MPX connector for an optional external antenna. And because the StreetPilot is portable, users from all walks of life -- from college students to corporate executives -- will find the Garmin StreetPilot i3 GPS Navigator an easy to use and powerful traveling companion, wherever they drive.
