    Is it still a deal if it looks like it's not even worth $5?

    These things won't mount on anything that is slightly curvy, e any modern car windshield.

    It is important to read what I am stating as I hold a Phd in Planetary Electronics and Orbital Engineering. For you simpletons, which most of you are, that's big knowledge.

    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.

    The bigger companies have more units communicating with the distinct possibility of overload or crash. 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. It has happened now 147 times with tight governmental controls and privacy acts.

    Also, the beams that are transmitted as the GPS units "speak" to the satellites can cause beam deflection errors which usually occur on bridges or the entrances to tunnels. 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.

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

    #3 is a typical phd person... Promotes their self title to impress others, but can't stay on topic to save their freaking life. Instead of a product review, we get an economics 101 class on supply and demand, with a dash of poly-si and global warming. Too bad your note didn't get truncated sooner.

    Regarding #3, aka Peakmaster. I don't think I've ever read so much narcissistic, pretentious drivel, from someone who knows so little. Oh wait, I forgot about Toddsucks, so yes, in fact I have.

    Peakmaster impression:

    It is important to read what I am stating as I hold a Phd in Talking out of my A$$ and "OMG! I'm a tool"ness. For you simpletons, which most of you are, that's big knowledge.

    Here is the bottom line regarding portable GPS units. You need not read anything else on the subject but this, unless you actually want, you know, facts.

    Each GPS manufacturer must launch or pay to have launched their own GPS satellite(s). Yes they launch them out of my doughnut, I keep them next to my colon. 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. Wow, look at all the big words I was able to find in the dictionary, I wonder what they all mean?

    The bigger companies have more units communicating with the distinct possibility of overload or crash. 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. Okay, even I don't know wtf I'm trying to say here, but I'll sum it up as I ROCKZOR, now somebody be my friend? It has happened now 147 times with tight governmental controls and privacy acts.

    Also, the beams

    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.

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…
