And a sign of good support too. Many companies would have just told you to toss the old and buy the new!

Hi CNet, Which brand is the best portable GPS system. In 2005 I paid $2,500 for a Navman ICN635i, this included the purchase of Maps for Western Europe. At the time the unit was considered one of the best available. I recently enquired as to the availability of updated maps. It appears there are no updated maps for the 635i as the "old" 635i is not capable of being loaded with the new maps due to advancements made in map data and software technology but Navman made an offer to trade in my $2,500 635i unit for the new S50 model loaded with the latest maps for $179, which is the price of a map upgrade. The S50 unit Navman is offering retails for less than $450. That means in 3 years I tear up $2000. How long should a manufacturer give support for it's products? With regards, Bryan
