    Discontinued, but the Garmin StreetPilot 3 is still functional, mapsource software & data updates still available. 128mb memory will not cover whole of UK in detail, but is not a particular problem. Suits motorcycle use, and would suit a slightly more 'techie' or nerdy person - the features are mostly there, they just need to be found and configured. Can be picked up cheaply (around £80 for complete set). (read more)

    I don't think I can tell you anything good about the Garmin StreetPilot, in fact after buying quite a few GPS units for Aviation use I thought that as the StreetPilot units were superior to any other companies products, the Street Pilot III had to be the best there was for Road Navigation! What a mistake that was. Undoubtedly the worst unit ever made by Garmin. (read more)

    I have had the Garmin StreetPilot III satellite navigation system for almost 2 years now.

    My gripe is that it that garmin rips you off for the map updates. They ship you the map updates for free but in order to use the map you must 'unlock' it for $150. The points of intrest seem to be about 2 years old when they are new so after i have owned the unit for 2 years now the points of interest are now 4 years old.

    The unit comes with 128 megs of proprietary memory which is enough for... (read more)

    I had a StreetPilot III for about 5 months, and found it frustrating at times because the maps were out of date. For instance leaving Manchester Airport on the M60 towards the M62, you are told to "exit left" at one stage, this is presumably because the next section of the M60 had not been built when the Garmin was programmed! And why does it say "at next junction keep right", when all the instruction means is "keep straight on". At every trip over the M1/M62 junction it told me that I was "off route, recalculating", for some unknown reason. I sold it on E-Bay.

    Garmin is one of the best GPS systems. It is a pity, as you stated that for a reasonable price annual payment you could get all year updates for all roads. Cheaper to buy another GPS. Perhaps this is the hidden agenda.
