    Default Cheapest GPS available today ????

    I was sent this link, so I thought I might ask the question is this the cheapest GPS available today ? I know Aldi has some cheap ones and so do strathfield car radios but this has got to take the cake.

    I'm not speculating on the quality of the unit, but even still it looks like it comes with the basics.

    What does "Factory Renewed" mean?. Looks like they are sold out too.

    Hadn't noticed the "factory renewed" bit. That explains alot, especially if they are the faulty warranty returns from Aldi, that have been "renewed".

    My "factory renewed" Tevion P310 arrived yesterday. The Product Return Form sticker inside the box shows it as originally purchased on 13/4/08, and returned the next day, due to "Not showing all streets".

    There was no sound from the internal speaker, until I removed the cover and pushed one of the speaker wires back into the connector fully.

    The supplied software is usable, but nothing flash. TomTom v6 on an SD card is much nicer. (Thanks to info found here, there, and everywhere).

    For ~$115 (including postage), I'm happy.

    Hi Colin,

    My brother bought the same unit but his had letters scratched on the back and the charger is not working, plus the supplied CD/DVD is warped. I think it is safe to say he is very pissed off, he expected some minor issues but these are unacceptable.

    if it said they were FACTORY RENEWED, and there not, its time for a bit of litigation.

    Yeah, mine too (TZK or maybe TLK), but I'm not really worried by it.

    and the charger is not working
    I charged mine overnight using a powered USB hub, but at least my supplied car charger seems to work.

    plus the supplied CD/DVD is warped
    I wouldn't be too worried about the CD. From what I've read, it's only the maps, which are already on it. And if he's going to run TomTom (or something else) on it.....

    I think it is safe to say he is very pissed off, he expected some minor issues but these are unacceptable.
    If it was me, I'd be contacting COTD, with a view to getting a working charger.

    Hi Mango,

    "Factory renewed" my Ar#e they were not even checked. And your suggestion is possible.


    Colin,

    Even though you and others paid a reduced price the customer is still entitled to a fully functioning device not how COTD have supplied. Yes he will take it up with them shortly but they only work Mon - Fri 9-5PM.

    Piss poor effort by Catch Of The Day
