Sweet! Killer deal.

Comments:
Great for the price. Too bad that the manufacturers don't offer lower cost map updates. If I had paid $300 I would be angry that I had to cough up another $80 a few years later for updated maps.

QuickTake:

Pros: Fast boot up and satellite acqusition

Cons: thicker than other models

Recommended: Yes
