    Moral of the story: don't rely on any GPS 100% or when riding on a bus, always recline your seat back as far as it will go. Open-mouthed

    Streets & Trips 2008 price drop

    The marketing folks told me about some addtional deals and price drops on Streets & Trips at the various retailers.  I wanted to pass this info on.
     
    A quick web search turned up the following links but there are likely more stores/sites than I have below so look around.
     
    * Staples - Standard = $39.99, Version with GPS = $69.00, Connected Services = $99.99 (after $40 instant rebate)
    * More deals at: OfficeMax, Office Depot, BestBuy, etc
     
    Pick up a copy of S&T 2008 today and save some money. :-)

    Best Buy on Streets 2008

    Looks like Best Buy is running a sale on Microsoft Streets & Trips 2008 GPS for $79.99 (down from $99.99).
     
    If you are a S&T 2006 user or haven't picked up a SiRF StarIII GPS then this would be a great upgrade.  The included Pharos GPS is very sensitive and significantly faster in obtaining a satellite fix when compared to the old larger SiRF II GPS pucks.  [Link]
