So, after you pay the tax on your Trekker breeze, you will pay the
equivalent of 12 years of subscription if you used the three year
subscription plan. Personally, I hope technology will advance
exponentially in that amount of time, making both devices obsolete.

downloaded the app and when I found out how outrageous and costly it

rating portion and told them how I feel. The app has been deleted from
my phone. By the way, the apps you refer to are a one time fee. I've had
my Navigon for 2 years and have only paid the cost of the app. I works
just fine. A few bucks every now and then to upgrade the maps is
reasonable, but certainly the price they want for a yearly sub is
highway robbery. I just don't have that kind of money anyway, they
wouldn't get it if I did and there are other good alternatives.
Actually, I'll stay with my Breeze and support a company that is not
blatantly greedy. I'm glad you find the app to be a good one because I
would hate for someone to spend that kind of money and not like it.
