Garmin StreetPilot i2 GPS Navigator

I bought this thing because I only know my way around certain areas by landmarks ( yeah typical woman) but it’s easier for me to understand ” Ok make a right by the pink house and when you see the yellow school you’re there”. I know I know what happens if one day they decide to paint that pink house blue…I’m screwed aren’t I???
So I get this thing home load the map, go outside, get in my car and I wait and wait and wait for a satelite signal and Nothing!!
I sit for 30 minutes in my car and zilch zero nada.
No signal!!
I mean long do you have to wait for a stupid signal anyway???
I don’t know maybe I was doing something wrong or maybe the thing was defected.
I ended up sending it back and decided to go to BestBuy and have one of the guys there show me how to use it.( and tell me what I was doing wrong.)
I gave it a 2 because it didn’t work for me of course if it did work I would’ve probably given it 5 stars.

I am very impressed about the i2 GPS device by Garmin. It works wonder for a first-time GPS buyer. I was first introduced the unit when I was travelling with a friend who had one in his van and we travelled together one evening. It does what it is designed. Though the trans-flash memory capacity is small that comes with the unit, it does what it is designed for. Although the screen is small and mono-chrome, it is the audio that impresses me while I am driving. It re-calculates if you miss a turn. Very impressive device with the money I paid as a first time GPS buyer.

I WOULD GIVE THE i2 5 STARS BUT WHEN I HAD IT IN MY HOUSE TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE I COULD NOT GET A SIGNAL AT ALL. EVEN WHEN I TOOK IT OUTSIDE TO MY CAR IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO FIND A SAT. OVER 15 MINUTES. I DO LIVE BY LOTS OF TREES AND THERE IS A HUGE ONE RIGHT NEXT TO MY HOUSE, SO THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM. I DID GET THE i2 TO WORK AND ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT IT LOSES IT’S SIGNAL WHEN YOU DRIVE IN TUNNELS AND PARK IN UNDERGROUND GARAGES. OTHER THAN THAT IT WORKS GREAT. GETS YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO AND THE SIZE MAKES IT VERY PORTABLE. IT IS REALLY TINY(SIZE OF A LARGE PAGER), SO THE SCREEN CAN BE HARD TO READ, BUT THE VOICE WILL DIRECT YOU JUST FINE. CAN’T FIND ANYTHING BETTER FOR THIS PRICE. I ALSO HAVE A FACTORY NAVI SYSTEM IN MY SUV AND THIS SYSTEM IS JUST AS GOOD IF NOT FOR THE WEAK SIGNAL. GREAT VALUE!!

I returned the the StreetPilot. It took on an average of 5 minutes to find a GPS signal. The receiver was very weak and lost the GPS signal frequently, even when used in an open area outside the vehicle.

We were so excited to get our i2 just in time for a long road trip for Labor Day. Tried it last night and it had difficulty acquiring satellites (1 bar out of 5) and we were constantly dropped like a bad cell call.
On the trip so far, the unit has not been able to get a signal for the last hour and a half out in open Texas country!
Unfortunately, I will have to make a return on this product.
