      Let's say if it were new one, would you buy it at this price?

      You all must now read what I know as the knowledge I hold is huge. I am a Phd in Interplanetary Physics and Orbital and Satellite Trajectory Vectors. So what I state here is unequivocal both in fact and recent history.
      Most of you are clock punching ilk who have been deprived of intelligence genetically and of education financially. Not so for me. Thus it behooves you to heed my enormous knowlege.
      Here is the bottom line regarding portable GPS units. You need not read anything else on the subject but this.
      Each GPS manufacturer must launch or pay to have launched their own GPS satellite(s). The GPS unit in your car can only "speak" to it's own company's satellite. The satellites in turn "speak back" to the individual GPS units. That is why they were so expensive several years ago. Now, with so many privately owned GPS satellites orbiting our planet, the costs have come way down due to reverse economics,supplemental demand, global warming conditions brought on by 8 years of Republicans and other geophysic,economic and hedonistic,intrinsic factors.This has happened many times recently with Garming and TomTom since they are the most popular. If too many people are using their GPS at the same time, the satellites overload and can actually crash into another planet, star, meteor or asteroid...or worst case back down to Earth in highly uncivilized, population centers being a distinct, yet most efficient and attractive gravitational possibility.Additionally, GPS radar microwave beams can be warped and/or "wrapped" from satellites that are about to transpond and overload because of too many people beaming to them at once. Beam and microslurry overload causes the satellites server platitudes to reject or discard any more signals. The result is dissention or cumulative resonance and other causal acute disturbances from RFP,laser and even low frequency,subsonic particular mass ensembles. Those that hold dissenting opinions are non-factoid morons.

      Since I'm an expert in Peakmaster's mom, I can clarify when he says "Phd", he means Permanent head damage.

      Peakmaster, what you've just said is one of the most insanely rodeo cowboy things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

      You know what's even more hilarious? Peakmaster has posted this exact same rant (or variations) of it 242 times. And yes, gassyjoe, even more GF was laughing her @$$ off after reading it (and your modded response). In any case, I just think Peaky (can I call you that? Thanks) is just some desperate soul out for attention because he can't get laid and probably gets his jollies off of reading our responses to his comment.

      These are not bad units at all - and yes, #1, if new I would definitely buy at this price (and I don't even need one...). The page at TD says 12 mo warranty, same as the regularly-priced unit. So the bottom line, #7, is no I choose to not be a victim and yes you should buy this or what!!.

      I had a friend of mine tell me to visit this site to really see how GPS works. I have never heard of some of the theories expressed on this site before. My research has concluded that:
      1. GPS is made up of three segments: Space, Control and User.
      2. The Space Segment is composed of 24 to 32 satellites in Medium Earth Orbit.
      3. The Control Segment is composed of a Master Control Station, an Alternate Master Control Station, and a host of dedicated and shared Ground Antennas and Monitor Stations.
      4. The User Segment is composed of hundreds of thousands of S and allied military users of the secure GPS Precise Positioning Service, and tens of millions of civil, commercial and scientific users of the Standard Positioning Service.
      5. GPS satellites broadcast signals from space that GPS receivers use to provide three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus precise time.

      Sigh. Why hasn't Peakmaster been banned ...?

      And yes. You should buy this. I borrowed this unit from a friend for 2 weeks and now I might just get one for myself. I don't know about a refurb from Tiger Direct tho.

      I would get it from Tigerdirect. It has 8% cash back from bing.com compare to only 2% for newegg.
