Subject:      Cheap GPS at Canadian Tire

Hi Volks,

Canadian Tire is clearing out their Curtis GPD358 GPS devices for $47.99. They are going fast so look around and grab one while you can.

Small screen, light weight and runs on 12v so you can cut one into your battery. Hardware is decent, fast satellite acquisition, SDHC card reader + Windows CE 5 OS.

The real benefit is you can easily modify the program to run something else if the existing maps don't do it for you. http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=707504

I picked up one tonight for my wife and another for my 13YO daughter to use as an MP3/video player. They aren't quite as nice as a $200 GPS but for $50 they don't need to be.

Happy Trails,
