| You can easily tell what version it is by looking at the bottom of the box. See the other hot thread on I3 for info on free upgrade by Garmin from v7 to v8. |

|
|
I've just joined the Sat/Nav set with the Garmin i3 for £120, and I must say that I'm very impressed with the way that the technology has come on in leaps and bounds. I've loaded on the camera data base from this site and am even more impressed with the sophisticated warnings that are given.
Anyway, my question is, "Can a stored map point (Favourite) be exported from the Garmin to a PC, or can the E-N map reference be displayed?". I have details of a couple of mobile camera sites that aren't on the database. Fixing the postion from the Garmin would be easier and more accurate than using an Ordenance Survey map. |

| The i3 seems to provide all that anyone would want at a reasonable price - I wonder what people are getting when they spend £600-£700 on a satnav? |

someone asked this on another thread and someone said a program called easygps.
see if that helps exporting your fav`s |
