Have you ever purchased a gps system from ebay?

Has anyone purchased a xroad gps system and did you like it?

• Answer:

  We bought it about 2 months ago. We live in the country and travel into the city about once a month for leisure, business or supplies. I bought the xroad v4150 for the purpose of helping with directions. This is a must for couples who are very different in giving directions. If you ever fight over when and how directions are given, get a GPS! It will help your marriage. This particular brand and model is very adequate, could have been more intuitive (I do not read manuals), and after printing out the two thick manuals, we are now fully able to use the device to the full. The features seem to be endless. I like the fact that the data on the SD card for the GPS is also on the CD as backup. The manual says map updates are available on their website once a year. The onboard rechargeable backup battery is great. On our major trips to the city, we found only one occasion when the xroad device was wrong in the exact location of the address. We found the venue after circling the block twice. Still, not too bad in my opinion. I also email tech support once for assistance, and they answered my question within 24-48 hours. I bought it on buy.com for about $150.
