I3 in london any good?

[neilcharlton]

What the i3 like when driving around in central london , is the signal lost much ?
I'm currently using a gps mouse attached to my laptop and that looses signal constantly in london! nightmare !

Can you force the I3 to take a certain routes ,i.e waypoint along the A41 instead of the A5 ? Avoid busy roads or go on roads you know will be faster etc. ?
thanks

Only had a bit of experience with it in London, but it holds the signal well when out on the roads from what I've seen. The routing can be very odd though, and it can be best to ignore it if you know a better way - ignored mine until we had got onto the motorway.

You can force the i3 to take a certain route just by going the way you like and then it'll recalculate, usually deciding your route is best. Or you can add a waypoint to force it to take a different route - I just take the route I want and let it recalculate.

Use mine around the city with no problems. But have found as stated elsewhere that it worked better placed on the right of the steering wheel placing it nearer to centre of road. Gets clearer view past high buildings in my view!
