IZZO Swami 3000 GPS Review

2012 REVIEW

In terms of looks, this was certainly not a favourite – and an average of 1.8/5 across the four testers tells its own tale. Richard thought it looked like a cheap FM radio from the ’90s, while Steve felt it was just ugly and actually quite big considering it didn’t seem to do that much when compared to some of t he others on test. But while the styling didn’t impress, the performance did. Richard said it seemed accurate, and Riath noted what excellent value for money it represented.

It comes preloaded with 19,000 courses, and Jon thought it was very simple to use. If you can get past the somewhat dated look of the unit, this product will tick a lot of boxes, especially at £129.
