I got one for my dad for Christmas (when it was $350) and bought him a 512MB SD card to go along with it. It works great and the maps only have to load initially at startup (takes maybe 20 seconds to boot up with about 20 states loaded for him).
At $299, I bought another two (different addresses). One for me, one for fleabay.

Ok, help me out please. How do you get to $299? Thanks.
Got this unit for 349.99 + s/h about 2 wks ago. It doesn't come with SD card. No built-in maps on unit. It loses GPS signal from time to time. Maps on CD and upgrade software are quite outdated and wrong, esp. for my street. Trying to find it for more than 30 minutes until I discovered that the "s" on my street's name was separated that it becomes "S" (South). It found my street when I seprated the "s" but voice prompt is way off, and kept on telling me to turn right when it was still about 0.2 miles from by home. I was told by CSR that updated maps will be in 8-9 months in 2005 and costs $185 ($99 upgrade). Sent it back after about 5 days of testing. I think $299 is a great price for this device but for 349 Navman should at least upgrade their software and maps.

I got it before xmas too for $350 and I called them and they don't do price adjustment. They also said it's the responsibility of the customer to send back and pay for the shipping if you want to return it (I was thinking of returning the one I got and ordering a new one at the lower price). Pretty crappy customer service if you ask me.
In addition, you can't return it to the store (Fry's).

Is it possible to mount this unit in-dash? I'm not a huge fan of suction-cupping things to my windshield.
Thanx OP, I have been monitoring this unit for a while on their site hoping to get it when it goes low. I was grilling myself for not buying it at 329.99 last week, the following day I wanted to order and it showed as $350. Good thing I held out, I ordered about 2 hours ago and even though it was advertised $299(at that time) when I added to cart it showed $329.99, so I called in and was able to get it at the lower price over the phone. Hot.

Looks pretty good for the price, it has touch screen. Don't know the price in local fry's.
Off topic, anybody knows a good website that reviews all the GPS? like the DPreview for digital camera? Thanks
For those of you that have a small laptop and no need to have the GPS mounted on the windshield in front of you, check out the Garmin GPS 18 USB model for about $100. Feature wise, it's much better. I have one and I love it.
It is beyond sanity to take a bulky laptop with you in the car and try to paddle around with that.

I tried calling for a 299 adjustment but no dice. "Sorry sir, there's nothing we can do." And I used my nicest voice to boot! Come back to me 299, come back ....
For a long review of the iCN510, try: http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/navman-icn510-review.php
Not sure what we're supposed to be looking at on that GPS info site. Are you saying this is not a good model for car driving? I'm not sure cause I didn't see this model in their list that they had reviews and stuff on.
ALSO: Do I need anything additional for this? IE maps of the US or anything? I'm not very familiar with how these work? Any help?
I have a Garmin Quest and will have this one shortly. I am not sure which I will keep. The Quest was just south of $500 and I like it alot. Will have to compare them to see which to keep and which to Fleabay! Just rented a Hertz and they gave me the magellan option for free. Hung my quest on the windshield and compared them side by side. Just as accurate and I think a bit easier to read. The hertz version allowed me to have her speak in French to me, but that's just a personal quirk!
How well the Navman iCN510 compares to the Garmin 2610 model besides the size issue? I am debating between the 2.

Hopping that it will be like the Amazon deal with MS OneNote software where it was changing price from $42.98 to $49.99 to $78.99 to $89.99 and where everyelse the dang thing would go!
"no WAAS?" What is that? You guys think this will go OOS before the price gets a chance to drop back down? If I ordered one now and the price did drop how can I get the better price? Someone suggested ordering another and returning this one, but it says Limit one so how could you order another?
Can someone summarize how this works and if I'll need anything to go with it?

Thanks Thepowerpig, as sarcastic as that was intended to be, it was actually helpful. I just wasn't sure if you needed to buy your own mapping software or anything. I know their are some GPS type units that you do that with.
BTW: Price dropped to 299.99 NOW at 11 PM Dec 31. It shows at 329.99 But when you add it to cart it drops to 299.99
With this unit, do you input an address for the to and from locations, or do you sort of have to click and zoom on a map to a location sort of and then go with that, if that makes any sense.
