Garmin i5 is a great value

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: I rate this GPS highly and would recommend it to anyone. It is a great unit at a low price point.
Review: I received the Garmin Streetpilot i5 as a Christmas present from my mother-in-law. I think she was tired of me borrowing her GPS device, a top of the line Magellan, every time we went on a car trip. The i5 is ready to go right out of the box- just...

Sure beats using a map.

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2008

Review: This little device was a life saver for me. During the summer of I took a job of installing security systems in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Being from a small town I wasn t sure if really felt comfortable traveling around such a densely populated city...

Beware: Expensive update will haunt you.

Date of Review:  May 28, 2007
Review: I bought this unit for my car, actually it was a gift from my wife. Once you get the hang of it this is a really neat little unit. It really does everything the manufacturer says it does. It works great.
But then you get the message on your...

EXTREMELY User Friendly and EXTREMELY Portable

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2006
The Bottom Line: A Great unit which is extremely user-friendly and portable. Detailed and accurate mapping.
Review: I am a new police officer in a medium sized city and there are many parts of town that I don't have the faintest idea how to get around in,...so,...as I often need to get somewhere fast, I wanted a GPS that was accurate and easy to use.
Also, I...

Good Little Unit

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: Buy it. If you don't like it resell it on ebay but I bet you won't.
Review: We were going on an extended vacation to the NE and needed extra help. So we bought the Garmin i5 off of ebay. Not having any dealings with GPSs I really didn't know what to expect. I had read and reread the info from different sites and had...

A lot of GPS for the money

Date of Review:  May 18, 2007
Review: When I first bought the i5 I was concerned that it would be too small. I was wrong. The screen is surprisingly easy to follow and includes the distance to the next turn and the approximate arrival time. It may not have the latest SiRF technology for...

You Will NOT Get a Free Map Update - Cost is $70

Date of Review:  Aug 16, 2007
Review: Be aware that this unit comes with outdated maps. Those maps leave me unimpressed.

New maps have been issued. Recent buyers of certain Garmin GPS units are entitled to a free update.

But, you will NOT get the free map update if...

Do NOT buy this; here's why

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2006
Review: I'm writing this as of Dec. 5, 2006. If you are considering a portable GPS navigation system, do NOT consider the Garmin i5 or any other GPS that does not use the new SiRF Star III GPS signal receiver. (The only exception is Sony's NAV-U GPS...
