A Small Wonder in Car
Navigation
The StreetPilot i3 is the color version in the i-series
StreetPilots—a new line of small, inexpensive automotive GPS navigators that
make driving fun.
No larger than a baseball and priced affordably, the
StreetPilot i-series is destined to be a hit for commuters, college students,
and corporate travelers who are looking to experience the ease and enjoyment of
GPS satellite navigation for the first time.
Don’t let the size fool you: The StreetPilot i-series has
many of the same powerful capabilities as our other premium automotive GPS
navigators.
The i-series features a unique and convenient
click-to-enter scroll wheel and a “back” button which makes it easy to select a
destination from the unit’s menu-driven interface. The i2 and i3 provide
voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions through a built-in speaker, and the unit
easily moves from vehicle to vehicle with an integrated suction cup mount. The i-series
will also automatically put drivers back on course if they miss a turn.
The StreetPilot i2 and i3 come with a MapSource City
Select North America NT DVD, which contains mapping detail of the entire United
States, Canada, and Puerto Rico—featuring nearly six million points of interest,
including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Users load
the City Select data onto an included 128MB Transflash™ data card via a fast USB
connection.
As an added
benefit, you can now import customized points of interest with the help of
Garmin's free POI Loader software. The possibilities are endless —
upload safety cameras or school zones, and you will receive a warning if you are
traveling too fast. In addition, an optional proximity-alert feature notifies
you of upcoming custom POIs.
The i3 and i5 feature a 32k-color, sunlight readable TFT
display with backlight, while the i2 features a high-contrast backlit FSTN
monochrome display. Motorists can choose from either a three-dimensional mapping
perspective, or overhead “bird’s eye” view. For added convenience, drivers can
power the unit with either two AA batteries (six hours, typical use) or the
included 12-volt adapter cable.
