Jensen's NVXM1000 Rock'N'Road XM / GPS system on sale now

Given that the last time we heard about Jensen's NVXM1000 was nearly 11 months ago, we won't hold it against you if you just can't bring back the memories of this well-spec'd XM mini-tuner / navigator hybrid. The $799.99 Rock'N'Road, as it's so affectionately dubbed, is finally ready to take to the streets, and it's packing a 4.3-inch color touchscreen, support for XM Instant Traffic, weather, sports and stocks, 11 million POIs, an 8GB hard drive, wireless FM modulator, an integrated media player / photo viewer, USB connectivity and a SD expansion slot. And if you just so happen to find yourself in a participating GM, Toyota, Honda, Nissan or Hyundai dealership, you can get hooked up with the rebadged Advent ADV800XM for the same amount of dough. Now, whether or not this thing's actually worth all eight Benjamins is another story, but it's available today for those who adamantly feel it is.

Jensen is a chean generic brand who makes crapy electronics and even crappier sounding speakers. Who in their right mind would pay $800 for this thing? $800???? This might be something at say $300-400 price point but $800? No thanks, Ill just buy a laptop whith M$ streets and trips for that kind of cash!

A laptop?? Not sure you're quite understanding the purpose of a portable GPS device.

Just ripped a Jensen cd player out of my wife's car. What a hunk of garbage.

Rock'n'Road is possibly the worst name I've ever heard, especially for a gadget that costs $800.

Bought it last month from Amazon. Worst GPS I've ever used. Seems to be built on Windows CE and well, we all know how well that works. Reboot a GPS? YES SIR! Went back inside of 24 hours for credit. And so went my hopes for a GPS with XM SR.
