Hi Millwalll,

most of the questions you ask are answered some where in this forum but briefly:

Time
I assume your using your i3 in the UK? In which case select Europe - Western. Then restart your i3. Make sure you do this outside with a clear view of the sky so the unit can get a good fix on satellites. The time should set itself.

POI's
For all you need on POI's goto:

Garmin POI's: http://www.garminpoi.co.uk

View
Personally I would use the 3D view.

Voices
The voices can be changed to american - english for example by clicking: SETTINGS, LANGUAGE, VOICE LANGUAGE, now select you desired voice. Custom voices are possible:

(Be patient changing voices take around 3-4mins)

Millwall, in case you don't know, you can download an Owner's Manual for the Garmin i3 here:
http://www.garmin.com/support/userManual.jsp?market=4&subcategory=41&product=010-00434-00

Doesn't answer every question you might have, but should help with some of them!
