Since Officeworks have been selling them for $95 for ages, *and still are*,
I'd say Harvey Norman were not THAT generous to you after all.

Most of the time IME.

Sure, but $68 without the risks of ebay sellers, needing a paypal account,
or adding the cost/risk of shipping and delivery times, would have been fine
for me.

Tell me more? A $59/$68 device with free map updates seems OK, but if there
are better options I'd sure like to know.

www.msy.com.au sell a nice cheap unit. Saw it in there the other day. Looked okay enough. Not sure
the quality though as I didnt pay that much attention as I wasnt looking for a GPS at the time. They
do very cheap 1-2TB HDDs as well.

See thier parts price list and look for the GPS units, usually that sort of stuff gets put in around
the bottom of the PDF doc.

You're kidding surely, they are selling the slightly inferior Laser D35 for
$139!!!
Whilst they may be cheap for some things, GPS units sure aren't one of them!
