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 (Screen size 1.3” W x 1.7" H) 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 Garmin's other premium automotive GPS navigators.
The i-series features
a unique and convenient click-to-enter scroll wheel (bottom center) and a “back”
button (bottom left) which makes it easy to select a destination from the unit’s
menu-driven interface. The 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
i3 comes with a MapSource City Select North America NT v7 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 a portion of the City Select data onto an
included 128MB microSD (Transflash) data card via a fast USB connection.

Garmin
has also added the ability for customers to augment the pre-loaded maps
with custom POI’s
from industry-standard CSV files, such as school zones and safety cameras.
In addition, a proximity-alert feature is included to optionally warn
the driver of upcoming custom POI’s.
The i3 features
a 32k-color, sunlight readable TFT display with backlight. Motorists can
choose from either a three-dimensional mapping perspective (shown), or
a 2D overhead 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.
