What do higher priced models actually offer that this doesn't?  I need a GPS but until a few months ago you really had to pay $500.  All of a sudden, the floor's sunk to $250.  If all I need is something to tell me how to get from point a to point b, with re-routing and whatnot in case I make a wrong turn, what else would I need besides something like this?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 1st 2006 4:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Axion rolls out budget-priced GEO-632 GPS unit]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/01/axion-rolls-out-budget-priced-geo-632-gps-unit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/01/axion-rolls-out-budget-priced-geo-632-gps-unit/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'd say there is a gaping hole in the GPS market.  Right now I can go buy a two year old PDA and a bluetooth GPS for less than it would cost to buy a stupidly overpriced GPS unit from most of the major manufacturers.  Throw in some mapping software and you come out to just about the price of this thing. <br><br>So nice job guys.  Assuming the unit doesn't totally suck I can see it being a pretty hot item.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 1st 2006 5:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Axion rolls out budget-priced GEO-632 GPS unit]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/01/axion-rolls-out-budget-priced-geo-632-gps-unit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/01/axion-rolls-out-budget-priced-geo-632-gps-unit/</guid><description><![CDATA[Newegg sells these, and I'm heavily considering getting one for my girlfriend for Christmas, but I know very little about GPS units. Does anyone know if it speaks (ie. turn left in 100 ft., etc)? I think that's a feature she'd need, driving and looking at a screen at the same time doesn't seem like a very good idea. Also, what is the disadvantage of getting something cheap like this compared to an expensive unit?<br><br>Thanks.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tiuk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 1st 2006 5:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Axion rolls out budget-priced GEO-632 GPS unit]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/01/axion-rolls-out-budget-priced-geo-632-gps-unit/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/01/axion-rolls-out-budget-priced-geo-632-gps-unit/</guid><description><![CDATA[It took all of 5 seconds to find this.

I bought one for a gift and it is terrible. The touchscreen uses a stylus only and it doesn't work. The maps freeze all the time and part of the touchscreen went dead after 1 day. Customer service is a joke. They got one guy in the whole country and he doesn't know much about them. I went and bought a garmin street pilot for $100 more. It was well worth the difference in price. You must go with garmin, tomtom or magellan with gps's. I thought I would try to save a buck but the differnce in quality is staggering.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bill S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 30th 2006 7:51PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
