Default Best sat-nav for under £100

Finally decided to ditch the maps and get sat-nav. It'll only be used occassionally, so I don't need an all singing/dancing one that will empty my wallet!

Thinking about the Garmin StreetPilot i3 GPS Receiver. Can be had on ebay for around £70. Have read that it can be slow to pick up a satallite signal though??

Anyone had experience with these or similar priced units?

Thanks in advance.

Garmin i3 is excellent. Small screen though, but as the most important point is the spoken instruction, it is not an issue for me.

Absolute bargain for the money, and can be run on battery so fully portable.
