Amazon has this unit for 95 bucks shipped.


The one at amazon states it has the "High-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver offers extreme accuracy" so this is the best antenna you can get. No Text to speech tho, I find a talking unit just annoying as hell. so I just turn off the speaker ... I wish on some units they could just have a simple Ping for when your getting close to the turn like say .5 miles and bong for right and bong bong for left. Voices that tell you crap everytime the road you are on changes names or highways changes are just annoying. That said... I'm thinking of buying one of these since my Magellan GPS got stolen !!! Bastards!

Anyway, I also plan to get the dashboard gravity mount from amazon as well since I can put it under the seat with no suction cup marks on the windows.

Drive Safe!

Deal dead, shows $199.95 now.

Edit: Back in stock at $99.

$99 now. I guess Amazon went OOS for a little while and that was why it was $199 (gotta love the price gouging those private sellers do!).

Nice price. I'm a big fan of the text to speech function though so I guess I'll be eyeing the 260.
