Hi, folks,

Does anyone know any details about the Ndrive GPS currently on sale
here in Canada (at the large Canadian Tire hardware chain)? No model
number seems to be quoted anywhere, but with a 4.3" touch-screen, and
voice prompts it could be just the ticket for my technology-naive
daughter about to embark on a college sojourn.

Is this a decent unit? A cheapo scaledown? Built-in obsolescence
(more than usual, I mean)? Too good to be true at CDN$150?

Any advice gratefully welcomed!

Geoff.

over here in France, they have a connexx gps with eu maps for 49 euros at
Saturn.

What is cheap??

Maps are free in Canada, US, Holland, India, but for the rest ... it goes
slow...

See eg for your Garmin http://openstreetmap.nl --> download the maps for

I'd look online instead for a refurbished Garmin nuvi 255. These are
high-quality devices and available, I see, for about US$139.
