how long do you call a while ?...2mins 5mins 10 mins ??

Re: Garmin i3 Sat Nav
 

If it takes up to 10 min to lock on, it's not a fault.

If anyone wants a SatNav, get this one - at a tenner, it's a bargain.

Re: Garmin i3 Sat Nav
 

If it takes 10 minutes it is naff. My i3 locks on much faster than that. I know they don't have the best gps receiver in them but they are a very small and nice gps unit.

I would have it if we did not already have one each.

By the way you can add the latest maps to the i3 fairly easily ;):D

How much does it cost to update the maps? Mine has reminded me to update three times since we bought it (it does it once a year). I just do a hard reset and it's fine.

A ten-minute lock on happens when the device has been switched off for a while or you've moved a fair distance since it was last on. The gazeteer (the database telling the unit where all the satellites should be) isn't up-to-date so it has to grab a new copy.

It'll also take ages to lock on if you're moving while it's tryng to pin down a position.

It could cost you nothing if you know where to look

Re: Garmin i3 Sat Nav
 

So once it has locked on, does it work perfectly OK?
detects where you are when the car is moving OK?

If so I might have a play with it for a tenner.
