GRRRRR!!!
I was about to prepare to make a payment and this company raised the price of the MIO model from USD 109.97 to USD 300+ !!!
What (the hell) there were thinking? I got plenty of money in the Swiss banks!!??

You should get the CIA on their case.
**Mohammad were you looking for a new one ? If its second hand you might be able to get it cheaper but without the warranty, checkout pricing sites like bestbuys dot com where they have a listing and price info and rating on the companies who sell it.

Well, I would like to have a new unit because it is sold between USD 100-140, plus another USD 30-40 for the shipping cost. There’s a guy in Greece who owns this model and knows how to unlock the unit and load it with maps of countries worldwide. I just talked to him this morning. I will check the link that you provided. Thanks for your trouble!
(Rep points for you! )
Nah! They won’t be able to handle this kind of situation! This is only for the pros!
I just lost bidding on the MIO GPS model on the eBay by 99 cents!
tomtom one, 3rd edition @ $180 and no subscription fee!?! makes my job easy
That’s great!
Anyway, I’m bidding again for the model and this time I’m going to blast those stubborn bidders with a Tomahawk missile!
Yay! I just won a bidding for this GPS model on the eBay this morning!
Congratulations !!!
Thought it was going to take you another year to get one 
Is it preloaded with all the maps already ??? ohh and the adaptor is it compatible with your country Im sure you have multi-adaptor anyways I usually worry more about the wattage ect…
Ciao “J”
A year?!
No way! I’m a very determined and a very impatient person!
When I was a kid, if my mother refuse to buy any toy which I wanted, I will cry loudly and cling to the ground and will not leave the shop till she buy it for me! But suprisingly, my two little daughters didn’t follow my (bad) attitude!
Yeah! I’m aware of the voltage, we use 240V here in Malaysia and I have the suitable ones for it. The unit is pre-loaded with US map but I just need to get the unit ‘hacked’ to make it works with my country’s map. But it is good to have the US map too, so that I can visit the forum members and have a couple of (root) beers together!
Anyway, thanks for the reps!
I still do this…
You have Little rugrats how cute I bet they all have shiny new ipods and gameboys decked out considering their father’s a online consumer junkie
Have fun with your new toy, hehe wouldn’t it be funny if a new model came out soon and your model was outdated that would be so unfortunate after all the trouble you went through LOL

Well, a car GPS navigation unit is designed to see the map and hear the voice instructions during navigating so basically the GPS manufacturers won’t produce a unit which is smaller than 3.5 inch screen which will be hard to see but this model has a 2.7 inch screen (dimension 85mm x 59mm) which was originally designed for a woman and made it very convenient to carry around especially if you are walking in the city streets or cycling. So I believe that they won’t produce this size anymore and furthermore this model has been discontinued. Since this unit has all the cool features especially its digital compass, I need to have it before it is gone forever!
My two daughters are very discipline, intelligent, responsible and patient and their characters are totally opposite of mine!
iv got a GPS built into my audi…i cant say its very handy to pull out of the dash, and carry with me on the street lol
that MIO H610 looks pretty sweet… ill have to check that out

Here’s a photo of them taken 4 years ago. I told my ex-wife that the younger one (with her curly hair) looks like the Australian aborigine!

**Haha they’re soo adorable, Australian Aboriginal funny Daddy I bet you embarrass them every chance you get

They are very cunning and usually outsmart me whenever they get a chance and (at their age of the photo was taken) sometimes they can be worse than the Tasmanian Devils!!!
But I prefer both your Audi and the MIO!
Thanks for the rep points, Jasx69! I’m still around. It’s not that I’m “busy” with the GPS, but the US company refused to send the item to me here so I bidded again on the eBay and won for the second time! I won’t take ‘NO’ for an answer even if they refused for another thousand times! This time I used a new “strategy” and “blasted” those bidders again until they surrended!
But the problem is, despite of telling the seller in Miami many times to send the GPS unit using “Fully Tracked” shipping option, he instead chose the USPS “Priority Mail International” which according to USPS personnel who wrote to me, I quote -** *“Priority Mail International® and First Class Mail International® are not guaranteed services and tracking information is not available. The only international mail service that offers tracking is Express Mail® service (including Global Express Guaranteed® and Express Mail International®)” ***
Ohhh that must Suck bad 
, I thought you were busy playing with it by now that’s why you were missing in action , if they won’t honour your request, I would look into ebay policies as they do take great care in protecting the buyers, if you payed via paypal you have another layer of added protection.
I hope it all works out well for yourself
