5 out of 5 stars Sorry, but I don't agree!.......2006-09-19

I bought mine for $215.00 almost 4 years ago, and it still works GREAT! I was a long-haul truck driver, and I needed something that didn't take up too much space. I used it on my truck for 2 years, and it worked well even when the truck was moving (CDs, you know). I especially like the fact that.it will play PAL as well as NTSC DVDs. I'm home now, and use it (still) as a backup machine. However I never used the battery, never even took it out of the box, so I can't testify as to it. I LOVE THIS MACHINE !!

1 out of 5 stars Not worth it.......2006-07-24

Died after a few months at which time the battery only lasted an hour, not worth it.

1 out of 5 stars Poor Service.......2006-07-10

The battery never held a charge. Sent message to customer service and never received a response. Wouldn't recommend this product or company.

1 out of 5 stars Breaks Down -- Warranty No Good!.......2005-11-12

I agree with all the other comments about this product not lasting very long. Ours worked fine for about a year then suddenly stopped playing for no reason. I called customer service and was basically told I was out of luck!

1 out of 5 stars Mine only lasted 7 months, they won't honor warranty!.......2005-08-11

Apex may be an inexpensive alternative for those of us on a small budget, but mine broke within 7 months and they won't honor the one year warranty. They said it would cost 215 dollars plus shipping and handling to repair a manufacturers default( the plastic just fell apart). Considering I only paid 100 dollars, I told them they were crazy. Then when I asked to speak to a supervisor they hung up on me. I guess it was great while it lasted.

      Garmin StreetPilot i2 Portable GPS Navigator and MP3 Player (Factory-Refurbished)

      Amazon.com Product Description

      This is a refurbished item. Refurbished items are products that have been returned to the manufacturer, re-checked for quality and re-packaged for sale under full warranty at substantial savings. All refurbished items are covered by a manufacturer's warranty and Amazon's 30-day return policy.

      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.



      The StreetPilot i2 is the monochrome-screened version in the i-series.


      Voice prompts and a destination flag help you get to your next destination quickly and effeciently.


      A convenient click-to-enter scroll wheel and a "back" button make it easy to select a destination.
      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.

      4 out of 5 stars Yeah, It's Good!.......2007-12-20

      Got this as a gift, and in my travels around the eastern United States, it does a good job. Who needs color? You're usually not looking at it!
      It's voice is telling you where to go, and if you need to look at it, well, are books in color? Good unit. It's my second Garmin, and I like them! For first-time GPS users, you'll like this unit. It's really pretty easy to use, and portable to boot.

      5 out of 5 stars Simple and good price .......2007-11-21

      It's tiny and simple interface helps me easy to find the directions.
      Although it has small size of minotor, it enough to show all the informations that I need. It's quite good.

      5 out of 5 stars Very useful.......2007-10-02

      Update: Probably everyone who uses this will figure it out... but it does have a quirk - a right turn from a turn only lane (i.e. with an island) will be indicated with a "keep right" direction rather than a "turn right" direction. Left turns are indicated properly, but right turns are mixed... it's a handy thing to know when you're in traffic and don't know if you should be in the turn lane :o)

      This is a fabulous little GPS unit. For the price you absolutely can't beat it. I had a better model and it was stolen... so I got this at a very low price to replace it... it is JUST as easy to use, very intuitive. The black and white (and gray :) is still just as easy to see relatively speaking... besides, I really just listen to it... and every so often refer to the screen. It seems to have a little more trouble with exact store/office locations... left or right side of the street kind of things, but no big deal.

      As other reviewers have noted, you do have to load the maps from the disk... it has a smaller memory and therefore doesn't come preloaded. However you can get quite a bit on there for all of that... I got the midwest and east coast on with room to spare... it does mean that it's not plug and play though. The directions to load the information were easy to follow and it took maybe ten minutes in total.

      It is the same as the other unit in its time required to "acquire satellites" which is about five minutes when you first get outside... if you use it to find buildings for say doctors' appointments, meetings, interviews, that kind of stuff be sure to add five minutes to set it up and figure out where you're going. The re-direct when you take a wrong turn is still very short - maybe 20-30 seconds... it's just that initial reading... might be because I am always inside too (parking garages)... so it has to find the satellites every time I turn it on.

      Again, while some of that might be considered drawbacks, considering this unit is about 1/3 the price of even the lower end models, it can hardly be expected that the functionality is entirely the same.

      If you are directionally/geographically challenged this is an absolutely GREAT little device for a very very little bit of money relatively speaking.
