Dear Amazon.com Customer,

As someone who has shown an interest in GPS, you might like to know that the Magellan RoadMate 1412 4.3-inch widescreen portable GPS navigator is the featured Deal of the Day at Amazon.com. This offer is valid today only, September 14, 2009, and while supplies last.

Our Deal of the Day price is just $99.99--almost 67% off the list price of $299.99.
 
probably so cheap because you have to pay a bundle to update maps! We have a Garmin we bought last year- and my DH found out it will cost us $100 to update the maps!! :eek: That's half of what we paid for it!

So $67 for a GPS would be a good deal - hopefully it's up to date....:D
 
That's the GPS DH and I have, and we love it. The feature we really wanted was the text to speech - it says the street names instead of just "turn left." $100 is a great price, too. We got ours on Black Friday last year for $150.

Great to hear good reviews on it. I had $50 in GC sitting so I broke down and bought it for my DH so it cost me $49 out of pocket. I hope he enjoys it too!
 
wow, thats a good deal!
