That is a good price.. Id suggest the buy it now.. As they will sell for more then that probably.. And I am sure they have a review on the unit. Goto the hardware reviews section.. And it will most likely compare it to the closest compator product -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Hanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 5:18 PM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] Win95B/98/now street atlas Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2002 23:10:28 +0000 From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] Win95B/98/now street atlas >The GPS web site that Phillip recommended is: >http://www.joe.mehaffey.com/ I'll have to spend a little more time reading that website. There was a lot of info there to digest. Have you guys, or has anyone else looked at the specs for the Garmin eMap, and compared its specs with other units? Seems like it's a pretty new unit, and has some inpressive specs for the price. Some company on EBay has posted a bunch of factory furbished eMaps with a 1 year warranty with a $49.95 starting price, and a $119 'Buy Now' price. It looks like a great unit at a great price. I was just hoping to get some feedback/comparison on it. I'll have a look at that website you mentioned.
