Hey, look at it this way…if you are still stuck in 2001 and want a standalone, factory reconditioned, not even the leading brand name, GPS unit…you can still spend money on it.
They’ve screwed up wine.woot so much by implementing a new pay system they have to keep fake selling out in order to work on technical difficulties. Damn pesky customers…trying to pay them money.
In fairness, it’s $40. I have an old phone with a GPS that sucks monkey balls. If I felt I needed it (I still have a functional GPS from 2006) I would buy this instead of a new $200 “smartphone.”
If I recall correctly, these run Win CE 5 or 6. They’re also rather easy to hack. Makes a nice touch-screen interface to something, and could be used as a keyboard or input to home projects.
Personly I prefer a stanalone GPS for the car. The screens are readable in the sun on a standalone and the map data is stored in the unit. Using a cell for GPS is useless in bright sun and if you are out of cell coverage.
I like using GPS on my phone, but in my state, phone use by teens is prohibited, which means my daughter’s phone is turned off while she drives. This will be great for her.
Are these being shipped via modus link? I’ve got a package coming from them via FedEx and I can’t figure out what it is. I thought maybe it was this, but my account hasn’t updated with shipping info yet.
