I needed one for occasional use so didn't want to spend a lot if I
could help it. I too ended up with a Garmin i3 from eBay and although
not perfect it works well IMHO and did a great job saving us 20 mins
on a journey to a relatives new house (a previous non i3 aided journey
was that much longer using a different route), so I've been very
pleased with it so far.
The size was also a selling point for me fo the same reasons Nige
mentions - I didn't want to have to carry around a larger sat nav and
this is small and unobtrusive to fit into a pocket or other half's
purse/hand bag. I think they're 129 from Halfords now but you could
try your luck and get it for less on eBay like I did,
Gary.
