October 2007 Fn-Site Supporter Drawingg - StreetPilot GPS

[Shay]

Here is our 10th prize drawing for our awesome Fn-Site-Supporters for 2007 to be given away at the end of the month. We encourage you to support our group with a small $10. per year donation. If you love us, show us the dough.

The drawing is open to all paid Fn-Site Supporters each month. You get an FnSweet sticker, FnSweet business cards to hand to people you meet, and a bunch of extra features on our web-forums like increased photo storage and your own vBGarage page (when we get it up and running again) to name a few.

The Fn-Site Supporter fund goes to help with site costs, but more importantly supports events and get-togethers throughout the year. To become an Fn-Site Supporter and help us keep the lights on here check it out: http://www.fnsweet.com/sale/donate.shtml

StreetPilot i3 In-Car GPS Unit

If there was ever a month to join the Fn-Team and help support the cause here, and get your name in red this is it. Our partner site www.SteedShop.com now carries these new babies and I have decided to donate one to the monthly drawing. It has a retail value of $229.



Highlights

The StreetPilot i3 is the color version in the i-series StreetPilots a new line of small, inexpensive automotive GPS navigators that make driving fun.

No larger than a baseball and priced affordably, the StreetPilot i-series is destined to be a hit for commuters, college students, and corporate travelers who are looking to experience the ease and enjoyment of GPS satellite navigation for the first time.

Don't let the size fool you: The StreetPilot i-series has many of the same powerful capabilities as our other premium automotive GPS navigators.

The i-series features a unique and convenient click-to-enter scroll wheel and a "back" button which makes it easy to select a destination from the unit's menu-driven interface. The i2 and i3 provide voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions through a built-in speaker, and the unit easily moves from vehicle to vehicle with an integrated suction cup mount. The i-series will also automatically put drivers back on course if they miss a turn.

The StreetPilot i2 and i3 come with a MapSource City Select North America NT DVD, which contains mapping detail of the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico featuring nearly six million points of interest, including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Users load the City Select data onto an included 128MB Transflash data card via a fast USB connection.

As an added benefit, you can now import customized points of interest with the help of Garmin's free POI Loader software. The possibilities are endless upload safety cameras or school zones, and you will receive a warning if you are traveling too fast. In addition, an optional proximity-alert feature notifies you of upcoming custom POIs.

The i3 and i5 feature a 32k-color, sunlight readable TFT display with backlight, while the i2 features a high-contrast backlit FSTN monochrome display. Motorists can choose from either a three-dimensional mapping perspective, or 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.
