i bought a garmin i3 for 129 from halfords 2 weeks ago.have been using it for work since then and can thouroughly recommend it.its also small enough to use on the bike too!!also i downloaded the poi software and it detects mobile and static speed camera sites too!a bargain!!

I've got a Garmin Quest, made for the bike if you get the kit for an extra £70 or so, it is waterproof and quite small, doesn't support speed cameras but i'm working on it. good piece of kit though.

That sounds good to me Tony, especially the price

yes chris.today i had 27 deliveries in and around croydon..it found every one !!coolio!!

How do you mount the Garmin on the bike and where do you take the power from? I was thinking about getting one - preferably one that shows the nearest petrol pumps!

the garmin i3 is self powered by 2 aa batts,and you just mount it on your tacho with the sucker mount!!in wet weather just put it in a plastic bag!!sorted!!

Have Garmin Quest, wirh RAM mount, runs off bike battery with connector. have ear speaker which cost £10 from Rainbow motorcycles. So have full audio instructions in the helmet.
It also shows petrol stations, pubs, hotels, services.....its great.
Decided to buy it when I got lost at night in the Lakes, and was running out of gas.
Bought the Quest from Maplins for £250

Yeh i got a medion its not waterproof but comes with a waterproof wallet, its okay covers all UK and Ireland with optional maps on cards for Europe.

I was thinking of the small Garmin it was on offer in woolworths, at 144quid, but it didnt have a socket for earphones, and i cant ride and look at the screen at the same time as death is a permanent fixture sooner get lost hahaha

there's a test of them in may's RIDE magazine


tho' i have a TomTom 5, much easier than a map
