Streetpilot i3 to Tom Tom One?

[MartinWilliams]

I've had my i3 for about 3-4 months now and I'm thinking of giving it to my brother and getting a Tom Tom One. The main reason is that I'm frustrated with the i3's thinking. I know that Sat Nav's aren't perfect, but it does insist on taking me some ridiculous ways to places and has a clear phobia with the M6 toll (yes I've checked the toll settings).

Do you think it is worth the move. Will I get a better experience from a Tom Tom. Is there chip any better? Can I really expect any Sat Nav to send me around the M25 the best way? i3 insists on directing me past the airports when there is 0.3 miles in it if I go through Dartford.

Advice before tomorrow anyone?

Thanks.

I used to love the way my old i3 warned me if I was exceeding the speed limit in a camera area....as far as I can tell my new tomtom one does not do this.

Also the simple catagorie list in the garmin was great, whilst I find the way poi's are arranged in the tomtom one to be a bit more difficult.



Also I'm sure I posted a reply like this earlier on, but I can't see it now.

I have just got a tomtom one after my i3 was stolen and i must say i would never go back to an i3.

The overall performance of the one is far better than the i3. You soon get used to the menu's and i prefer it that the speed camera warnings are not controlled by speed, it was especially annoying on the i3 when it would keep "boinging" when you went 1mph above the limit and you could see there was no mobile camera there!

I have also found the one recalculates routes much quicker when you have gone wrong and the screen refresh rate is much faster, you also have the option of adding new voices and colours etc.
