Wife promised to buy me a new reciever and I found this one. I like it very much. Manufacturer price is 60USD bt I found it at Amazon.com for 30USD.

Damn looks nice, think I might get that one also, I need a new one, since my last one was stolen
I like how it has the magnet in it, and a nice long 60" cable.

Yeah I like all of thsoe features as well... ANd I think I have some more clear vinyl tubing to armor the cable....
I tried repairing my old GPSr but all I ended up doing is burning the soldering pads off of it .. grrrr!

yeah small solder points are a pain in the ass, melting before the solder does
how well does that tubing work out for ya?

Oh it works wonderfully! I was not so concerned about crushing as I was about the wiring getting severed by moving doors, windows and such. Since I armored the cable, I have had zero problems with cable damage.
Added bonus, the added thickness and the Electrical tape wrapping makes the cable LOOK tough and impressive!

I have this gps. Had it for a couple of years now. No issues with it but it can be slow to pick up information inside buildings etc as with any gps like this. However I never have any trouble with it inside my car. Picks everything up in seconds never had to have it outside the car at all.
