The URLs you sent didnt work here, but personally Ive bought a few GPS
receivers from dealextreme.com  Theyre a hong kong based business but
have free shipping and low prices.  I think my GPS data logger cost
about $15 there.  Most of their LCD GPS units simply run windows CE so
you simply have to root them and install your choice of nav software.
Much cheaper than buying a brand-name Garmin.  Infact, my dealextreme
GPS has outlasted 2 navmans and a garmin that have given up over the
years.
