Invion = Staples-branded, I think.

Anyone know who actually *makes* it?

Possible way to avoid coupon removal....

Place a .com order, (you do it yourself) from the instore .com pc.
Check it for
Pay at register (not online)
Place the order..(do not enter coupon at this point)
Hand the cashier your .com order.
Then present the coupon....

There is a map version that provides 12 million POIs and Canada can be added as well. This is a good GPS. I gave mine to my brother-in-law as a thank you gift. While this is a good GPS, I think I'll wait a bit for BF deals.

I got it on BF 2007 at Radio Shack, too. I love it. I use it as a Pocket PC. Just ordered another one as a gift for one friend. Do you think BF deal for this unit will be cheaper than $105? I wait for BF deals for other models: c520/720.

I'm actually waiting on GPS units that have traffic updates. I know, I know, real-time traffic updates are sometimes available only for a certain timeframe in a given area. But, I think it's still a good feature to have. One thing that I also wanted, that the C320 does not have, are Navteq Maps. I prefer the Navteq to Teleatlas ones.

The C320 is a solid GPS, it gets signals quickly and is very hackable.

Junibutt said:Which one is better Mio C320 or Invion 4v506?
Both are $129 at Staples
http://www.Staples.com/office/supplies/p13__200271_10051_Business_Supplies
Invion has text to speech as well
Anyone has experience with Invion?

I still have my Invion 4v106 that I got from Staples. I was able to upgrade the software to Destinator 7, which I think is what the Invion 4v506 uses. My 4V106 is a good GPS too but I preferred the Mio C320 to it when I still had the Mio. I found the Mio C320 had more useful real-time information than the Invion at runtime.

The one thing that the C320 software lacked was informing which side the destination was at, i.e. left or right. The Destinator 7 had this, albeit a bit too late, because it told the user which side the destination was, when the destination was practically there. It was like, "You have arrived at your destination, your destination is on your [left/right]." While late, it was still better than nothing. Based on my experience, iGuidance was better than the Mio and Destinator software.

I guess I should have tried to add the 10/150 coupon as well, but missed it...
The Mio ETA is 8/25, due to availability in my area....I'll wait!

Log into your Staples.com account, and you will see that the 25/250 won't be there anymore..........Sorry for the bad news.

Username372 said:Can you Mio vets point to where I can get the additional POI & maps?
I'm kinda of a rook @ this GPS hacking thing.
Still not sure what is going on here. haha.

GPS Underground was my source, although, GPS Passion is a good source too but I find it to be heavily moderated for my tastes.

I use 8GB SDHC card, no problem at all.

Will the expanded maps/POI's take up much space @ all on these SDHC? Or is your SDHC mostly for music, video, non GPS related software?

Just trying to gauge how much capacity I should buy.

Thanks

My order status still shows "researching". Are they going to cancel, call me, or deliver it at new charge w/out coupon? I'm waiting it out just in case they let me have it anyway

Never got confirmation email, but the online order status now shows the order for $114??
I do have a printout of the previous confirmation page. I presume someone took off the 25/250 coupon.
What's the best way to handle this?? Cancel and reorder??

Yeap, this is happening to alot of people so its not surprising. Even if you cancel and reorder wont help.
