Can you post a link for the unit. Sounds like good value at that price.

I should have also mentioned that I was given access to free map downloads for any countries I needed (I now have all of Europe from Norway to Russia to Turkey, plus Hong Kong, Australia & NZ.), although the unit can be supplied with whatever you ask for. These appear to be based on Google maps and seem to be as up to date as possible. Remember that the unit will only be really useful if "Truck Maps" are available for your country, and from memory I think this included Australia, but not NZ. The eBay seller was good to deal with and responded quickly to our email queries.
We found the Bluetooth performance could be a bit better but we don't use that anyway. The FM transmitter works extremely well. There is also an input socket for a backing camera and the device can also be used as an E-book reader, play music and video files and if you're really desperate will also do basic word processing and various other functions. It comes with a pre-loaded "User Manual" in reasonable English, although this only tells you a small part of what the unit is capable of. It came complete with mains and 12/24V car charger, USB cable, a very good windscreen mount (sucker type) and a clip-on visor.
We think it was very good value for the money, which I think from memory was AUD$ 79 with free delivery. Apart from being happy customers, we have no financial or other interest in the promotion of this device! .... and unlike Russell's generous offer, "No, you can't borrow ours to try it. We'd be lost without it!"
