I've been had
Last year I bought an expensive GPS on Black Friday. Garmin.
After spending a **** load of money on this GPS Garmin has discontiued it. If that was not bad enough you have to PAY to update the ****ing MAPS $70 every year. And that is if they don't raise the ****ing price.
Well I can tell you this, I will scour every ****ing torrent web site and every virus filed peice of **** download site I can find to get this thing updated for free. And I will never buy a another Garmin as long as I live.......unless this works and then I will try to **** them every chance I get.
Is this any way to run a business? **** suckers.

Re: I've been had
One word or two **** sucker/****sucker is an accurate description.
Things are in motion. Garmin can kiss my ass.
That being said they do make a superior product and aside from this I have been completely satisfied. It just seems crazy that they would charge that much for a map update.

Re: I've been had
We borrowed one from a friend once and I almost had an accident looking at the little ****ing screen. I don't want one. Why do you need one? If you go someplace, just get directions, and then you know how to get there if you go again. Can anyone explain the need for this to me? I know lots of folks have them.
I would be highly pissed if I had to pay to update maps. I guess they do update them because of new construction and ****, which brings me back to my originail wonderment: why does anyone need one of these?

Re: I've been had
Geocaching, *****es. Check out geocaching dot com. I do it during the winter, as a reason to get out of the house. Good, clean enjoyable fun. Even the kiddies would like it.

Re: I've been had
I have looked into it but am not sure I am really interested geocaching. I have not written it off yet.
Why would anyone need one of these Scuff? Have you ever driven through D.C.? I would not want to get lost there or Baltimore or Philly etc. I do a lot of traveling dude and printed directions don't even compare to it. It has all kinds of useful features. Need a bank or a kmart? You can look on the GPS. Need to know where the nearest E.R. is? check it out on the GPS.
I will admit that now phones have the ability to act as a GPS and you can look things up on the internet with them. THe GPS may disapear. But I am going to NYC this weekend and I sure as **** am going to use my GPS. Cause I don;t know **** about **** in NYC. I'm gonna drive in and put the car in a garage and walk around(w/o the GPS)
BTW I got my downloads for free.
**** YOU GARMIN.

Re: I've been had
We have one for the UK. You put in the postcode and walla, it gets your ass there. Every so often it decides to take you through some farmers field, tho.
"After 300 yards, go right on the round-a-bout, third exit, then make the next left"

Re: I've been had
My service guy has one. He needs it to find customers houses but I cant see a real everyday need for one.
Slack I thought geocatching or whatever it is called was for Hippies?

Re: I've been had
Geocaching ain't just for hippies. I'm sure hippies would enjoy it, but I don't think it's just for hippies. It's a scavenger hunt, really. It's a challenge to find it. Most of the caches I find are just a film canister with a login sheet and a pencil, you sign it to say you've been there. Some caches are huge, there's a dude a few blocks from me that has two trash cans full of loot, like books and toys and ****. They also have travel bugs, that people register on the site and they set goals for them, like this bug wants to go across the U.S. and back, so a network of people have to pick up and drop off the thing. In metro areas, it'a a real challenge, as you're trying to be stealthy so people don't see you find the cache and then pillage it. I've discovered a lot of little parks around town that I never knew existed, due to geocaching. I enjoy it. It's not as hard on my liver as my primary hobby.
