Maylong and Wiley Publishing seem to think that there's still plenty of room for improvement in making GPS devices more user-friendly, with the pair recently introducing their first device under the "GPS Navigation for Dummies" brand. While it's not entirely clear what makes this particular device (dubbed the FD-35) so dummy-friendly, it does at least seem to be decent enough, with a 3.5-inch screen, maps of the US and Canada, 2 million POIs, an SD card slot, and a built-in MP3 player and eBook reader (and no, we're not sure what's up with the Italian interface either). No word on what it'll cost, though Maylong says it should be available this October, with a beefed-up 4.3-inch model expected to follow sometime thereafter.

Hi I got this gps system but accidently deleted my maps of canada .... how could i get them back? or where can i download them ?
Compare it to the iPhone.
Es un buen aparato.
I have a $200 entry level Magellan Maestro, and I have to say, it's already pretty darn user friendly. I lent it to my parents and they were able to use it out of the box without any instructions from their son, the 'computer whiz'. I don't see what could possibly set this apart.
