    "Needs some improvements - Using for 10 months"

    by ssampayo1 on November 12, 2006

    Pros: Most of the time gets you where you need to go

    Cons: Takes too long to get a signal

    Summary: The Good:
    1) Very user friendly
    2) Memorizes the last 20 addresses you went to.
    3) Lets you memorize your favorite addresses
    4) Yellow Pages on the go. Lets you find business while on the road (i.e. Fuel stations)

    The Bad:
    1) Takes about 20 or 30 seconds to get a satellite signal.
    2) If your car is in door it doesn?t get the satellite signal at all.
    3) If you get to far from big metropolitan areas it may lose it sense if direction (isn't that why we got a GPS?) and get you lost.
    4) If using with batteries they don't last very long.
    5) Have been using it for 10 months now and the female plug that connects both power and data is already broken.
    6) The mount that comes with StreetPilot i3 will not stick to your windshield (very unsafe) so you will need to buy a new mount if you don?t want it to fall off while you are driving.
