No larger than a baseball and priced with affordability in mind, the
StreetPilot i2 GPS navigation system is a great fit for commuters,
college students, and corporate travelers looking to experience the ease
and enjoyment of satellite navigation for the first time. Don't let the
small size fool you; the i2 boasts many of the same powerful functions
as Garmin's premium vehicle GPS navigators. The StreetPilot i2 features a unique and convenient click-to-enter
scroll wheel and a back button that makes it easy to select a
destination from the unit's menu-driven interface. It also offers
voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions through a built-in speaker, and
should you miss a turn, the i2 will automatically recalculate the route
to put you back on course. And perhaps most conveniently, the unit moves
easily from vehicle to vehicle thanks to the integrated suction cup
mount, so you don't need to go through a cumbersome process each time
you change cars.

To get you from point A to point B, the StreetPilot i2
includes a MapSource City Select North America NT DVD, which contains
mapping detail of the entire U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. The DVD's
nearly six million points of interest range from hotels and restaurants
to gas stations and ATMs, along with local attractions such as amusement
parks and museums. Simply load the City Select data onto the included
128 MB Transflash data card via a fast USB connection and you're set. As an added benefit, you can now import customized points of interest
with the help of Garmin's free POI Loader software. For instance, you
can upload safety cameras or school zones, and then receive a warning if
you are traveling too fast in these areas. In addition, an optional
proximity-alert feature notifies you of upcoming custom POIs.
Maps are displayed on the i2's high-contrast backlit FSTN monochrome
display, which includes a backlight for difficult lighting conditions.
Motorists even have the choice of multiple perspectives--either a 3-D
mapping angle or an overhead bird's-eye 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.
The StreetPilot i2 measures 3 x 2.74 x 2.15 inches (W x H x D) and is
backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
