    you bought one? are these new or refurbs? price would suggest refurb

      zcream on 25/04/2010 - 17:28

      How does it compare to the 80$ GPS on COTD last week ? Same 3.5-inch screen.
      Also can it be hacked to play music or other media ?

      •  
        covert on 25/04/2010 - 17:31

        I think COD one was also a G35, the same GPS.

          webbiegareth on 25/04/2010 - 18:09

          No - if you mean the one that was $79, that was a "Navigon 1300", not a Navig8r brand one.

    •  
      covert on 25/04/2010 - 17:32

      All this stock I can not see them being refurbs. No mention of it in them being refurbs in the stores signage for it either. I almost got one but I really want a 5". Still thinking of going back and getting some for birthdays presents.

  •  
    Saturday on 25/04/2010 - 17:30

    That is cheap. Just after i bought the $79 one from COTD, all the cheap GPS came out all in a sudden. This deal might take a lot of buyers away from the coming up Tuesday COTD deal i guess.

      Saturday on 25/04/2010 - 17:35

      You really should get one. If there is a way to return the one i got from COTD (actually i haven't got it yet), i will go to buy one of this.

      P.S. The screen size doesn't matter. I have tried a few GPS units, one 4.8", two 3.5", and found out the 3.5" screen did the same job. Acutally the 3.5" one with a better software did a better job (more voice indications, so actually don't need check the screen in most cases).

        covert on 25/04/2010 - 17:55

        My mate has a 5" GPS and I prefer it to my 3.5" I broke a few months ago. Can get them from dealextreme for around $100. I am hanging back for a GPS from china with built in TMC support

        •  
          Saturday on 25/04/2010 - 18:21

          Sorry, TMC stands for? I had been on dealextreme for a while on my GPS search and actually locked in two units, just wasn't so confident about the quality, warranty etc. and finally bought one from the COTD.

          •

            traffic management control

            only on the high end units and not really operational except in sydney anyway

            •  
              Livert on 26/04/2010 - 00:41

              Yeah, TMC actually updates your GPS in realtime with current traffic conditions via FM radio transmission and plots the fastest route for you.

      95% sure it comes with a suction cap type mount.

    that's very cheap…….but sometimes, if you are lost on the road, paying extra for the better GPS is nothing…

    •  
      covert on 25/04/2010 - 20:04

      There is no correlation between the price you pay for a GPS and how good it's maps are.

  •  
    tonyjzx on 25/04/2010 - 18:57

    it all depends on the software… i have IGO8 running on a Laser and it's fine…

    I'm in Perth and plan to ring the O'Connor store tomorrow and see if they'll price match. Not sure if it will work, as they would be price matching for another HN store. I'll give it a go anyway.

    hernuwing on 26/04/2010 - 01:31

    Another way might be to call HN Frankston and ask if they will post to other states.

  •  
    AntMan76 on 26/04/2010 - 08:47

    All GPS have maps that can be updated, but I find the best feature is the speed of the processor (or software) to calculate, and recalculate where you detour or miss a turn for some reason. A GPS that can do this quickly lets you get quickly back on track.

    A nice feature on the Garmin I have is when the next turn is ages away it will zoom the map right out, taking out all the unimportant side streets. Then as you get closer to the turn it will progressively zoom the map in.

    However, I reckon for $49 this Navig8r is awesome!

  •

      OK. Just called the Store, Sale ended Yesterday BUT he said it might start up tomorrow and if I came to the store and asked a manager to do it for $49 they probably would.

    morpheu on 26/04/2010 - 12:58

    same here for sydney, normal price $119, last discount was going for $98, so it's not a nation wide discount

  •  
    aussman on 26/04/2010 - 13:10

    Got my local office works to match the new price of $88 so got it for $83.60

    Not as as good as $49 but at least saves me a tank load of petrol to frive to Frankston and back so all in all pretty happy as it is a touch cheaper than COTD deal as you needed to pay postage

    Called a few HN stores none would come close all said they are franchises and prices are not the same

    Went to HN on South Road, Moorabbin. Asked about it for $49. They laughed and told me I'm dreaming. I asked them to check online. and showed them this web page. They called Franksoton and were told it will be $49 tomorrow again.

    End result they price matched Frankston and I walked out with a G35 for $49.

    Sweet.

    "They laughed and told me I’m dreaming. I asked them to check online"
    that's a typical response, even if they don't show it on the outside, so you're lucky they did check online, many just laugh and walk away, price matching for most retailers is just a marketing gimmick to make you feel better about not shopping around

    fufufu on 26/04/2010 - 15:13

    Went to Preston HN, was told even if it is $49 at Frankston they won't be able to match it.

    EDIT: FYI it was marked at $118 "on special"

    xbox_upgrades on 26/04/2010 - 21:02

    Do yourself a favour and spend the extra money and buy a brand name gps. This unit is rubbish and not even worth $49 yet alone the rrp. The still use a stylus and the graphics are terrible. You get what you pay for. The COTD Navigon devices leaves this unit for dead. Defiantly worth the extra. Also you are unable to get map upgrades for these devices.

      covert on 26/04/2010 - 21:24

      What COTD Navigon device do you mean ? The one from a few days ago that was confirmed to not be a Navigon. I still don't know what it is. My $700 Garmin with $200 worth of maps don't come close to iGo8 loaded on a cheap GPS from china. If your buying a 3.5" GPS you are only using it now and again.

    sw on 26/04/2010 - 22:22

    Was in Oxley QLD today picking up my eM250 netbooks. They had a small special bin with these units in their GPS section. About 20 units - priced at special $98. I asked the guy who was helping me out, about the $49 price here on OzB - he checked system and said $98 was as low as they could go - citing franchise line.

  •  
    ialam on 27/04/2010 - 01:31

    picked up one from frankston HN earlier today. I spoke with a sales assistant and had the price reduced to $49 (from $88). they had a bin full of them (approximately 50 left i think).

    also, Chirnside Park HN said they would price match any other HN store.

    For the guys who bought one of these,

    Can someone scan and email me a copy of your receipt. Feel free to block out names/serial numbers or anything, but basically the guy at the store said he can replicate the price ($49) if I bring in a copy of a receipt.

    Thanks for your help,

    He said that he would discuss with his manager, but that he doubted that they would match a price from another state.

    People, I saw with MY OWN EYES this product. It is grey, very plastic and looks very very plain, thick and ugly and over priced, even at 49 dollars. I checked the display one, and it wasn't even working. LOL. I saw it @ sunshine harvey norman in melbourne and its priced @ $99 bucks. Honestly, don't risk spending 49 dollars on sumthing that looks so bad.
