Deal of the Day - 11/6/08

Hello All,

Buy.com is selling a Nokia 500 GPS unit for $99.99. This unit has all of the really important features including

• text-to-speech - the unit says turn on Main Street as opposed to turn in 500 ft
• Bluetooth integration
• a 4.3" LCD screen
• All required connectors including car charger and car mount

The unit uses Navteq maps, which is the best map provider for North America, and is used by all of the major web based map software from Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo.

I found reviews here and here, and a video demo here.

We bought the Garmin Nuvi and love it. You can see my detailed post on the unit we have and GPS in general here. I would recommend the Nuvi unit over all others, however this unit has the same features, and is less than half of the price. In thinking about that, it is $100, how can you go wrong. One note though, Buy.com says they have limited stock, so beat feet if you want to pick one up.

Later,

John
