Have just seen these advertised on Amazon for £90.

Does anyone know if they're any good?

I believe you can upload scamera locations to the device.

Thanks Alex

The colour Garmin i3 is available from Carphone Warehouse for only 10 quid more...

I bought the i3 a while back and I find it a great little device, especially as I run a Caterham so it's not too big or intrusive if mounted on the screen. Ok so it doesn't have a touch screen but its perfectly usable and have had no problems with it...and yes you can find it for £100 if you shop around (£130RRP I think) so got to be better value for the clearer colour screen.

You can get speed camera files from pocketgpsworld.com for a couple of quid.

Cheers

Yes and yes, you can download cameras and other POIs (Optimax locations) to it as you do with other devices - the camera POIs are also speed sensitive, so will flash and beep over the limit while staying quiet under.

I've got two and while I get the occasional blip in cars with UV protected screens, they are damn good units, especially since they are small and unobtrusive.

As had been said, go for the i3 (got mine for £93 and £99), or if you're patient I beleive an i4/i5 is around the corner.
