Just PMed at Staples with a printed out CompUSA webpage from earlier this week (sorry, didn't save the HTML). Manager gave me a hard time but eventually gave in.

Thanks!

I have and use this Magellan GPS for my Visor. I got it for $56 AR when OD had it on clearance a couple weeks ago. I've used it on a couple road trips so far and I find it sometimes takes a long time to initialize to get your coordinates. (Today it took about a half hour:frown It's also hard to read but that's only because the Visor is monochrome, which makes it hard to get info if you want to just glance at it while driving. Hmm, well I suppose using it while driving is a bad idea in the first place but that's besides the point. The street names on the maps are hard to read and if you don't have the proper maps downloaded you are SOL. I learned I hafta locate which counties I will be passing through and synching my Visor with the maps from each county beforehand, which is kinda inconvenient. There are thousands of maps on the CD, too many too synch on my 8MBs even for just one state.

I printed the web site page on my laser PagePro printer (Anandtech Minolta deal). I could scan it (Anandtech Staples Umax deal) and email it it to someone if they could host it.

Okay, this should probably go in its own thread but IT'S BLAZING HOT, but YMMV...

just at my local Office Depot to pick up my $50 panasonic fax machine, when I noticed on the Clearance desk the magellan GPS... when I checked out it was 44.45! And the $50 magellan rebate printed out as well! FREE!

But, ODs have been clearing out visor stuff lately so it may be hard to find!

oh yeah they have about 3 of them left and about 4 Stowaway keyboards for the Palm V series for $40! What a deal! It sure made my day!

EDIT: FOund them at OD store 935 in San Diego
